Most beautiful view

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had our family of 13 there and enjoyed it very much. We were impressed with how well was equipped! They even had pool and sand toys and sunglasses to use! Would love a cookie sheet, though. The pool was so enjoyable, because of the sitting areas and how big it was (though not deep) in comparison to others we have rented. An outside shower and the huge gathering porch with tables was a plus. We are so happy with our visit in this home with the beautiful view. Thank you for sharing it with us. Only drawback was there were no stairs from the first floor to the second!!

Sandfest getaway

The property and amenities at the house were amazing and just as depicted in the listing. We loved the oceanfront property and close proximity to beach access. The only tiny improvement we would request is improved wifi in the house, as evening tv streaming was difficult at best. We understand the location constraints, but the surrounding RV resort seemed to not have this issue.Overall the house was a spectacular place to retreat with friends and family for a beach and poolside vacation!

Beautiful house in a great location

Our family had a great time and really enjoyed staying here. It was very spacious, clean, and the kitchen was fully stocked. We picked up sand toys on our way to the house not realizing they had some there already! There were also some pool toys/floaties. The beach bags came in handy, too, when we needed something to haul some snacks on a day trip.Our only wish would’ve been to have enough bath towels for everyone in our group and it would’ve been convenient to have beach/pool towels available, too. Thank you for a wonderful “home away from home”.

Gorgeous property but construction on site

This house is gorgeous and very clean but you won’t get much relaxing in due to the everyday, very loud construction at the house next door. We actually left a day early. If you don’t mind sawing, banging, drilling and heavy construction equipment then you’ll love this property. Construction hours are 6am -7pm

Consistently 5 Star Beach House

This is our 4th time renting this property for a family beach vacation. It is clean and the amenities are super. The private pool is perfect for our family, the elevator certainly makes moving ice chests and luggage easier, and the view is spectacular. The boardwalk to the beach is convenient and large enough for golf carts. All you could ask for in a beach family beach house. We have already reserved it again for next year.
