Fantastic location

The location is perfect, close enough to all the popular tourist spots but far enough away that you’re not crowded. The property was as described and clean.

We had a wonderful stay!

The property was very nice and we loved being right now the beach! It was not very busy, we had lots of space on the beach for fun, and could walk back into the house whenever we wanted. What a relaxing way to spend a beach long weekend! We had a great time and would stay here again.

What a view and access to the beach

The place was awesome, great private pathway to the beach was our favorite part. It’s a little outdated for the price and the mattresses throughout needs to be out on the side of the road but all in all it’s great. I would definitely stay again here.

Great Family Vacation

The house was great. The right size for my family to have their own space but yet still come together for dinner and evening fun. It was clean, well kept and the kitchen had everything you needed for meals. The beach was awesome and the walkway made for easier access. Great place.

Fathers Day beach trip

Had an amazing time at the beach. The beach was very peaceful and family friendly. Location of the house was perfect with very short pier private access to the beach. The beds were not comfortable but the space and location was good 👍🏼

Loved it! Great view and access to the beach....dolphins put on a show right behind us swimming!!!..

We couldn't have asked for better. The house was very spacious and the accommodations were great. The beds could definitely use upgrading to be more comfortable, but besides that it was the best stay ever!!! We would definitely go back!

Perfect family getaway!!!

We absolutely loved this house! It was our first time renting a home and were not sure what to expect. This home was far beyond our expectations! It was extremely roomy for our crew of 8. It was very clean and the location was spectacular!! We loved being right on the beach!!! We will definitely be returning!!!!

Perfect for our size family. The deck and board walk was a great amminity.

The kitchen and family room tied together is a great concept. The board walk was a life saver. This house is far away enough from the traffic and noise of the Hangout, but close enough to get to Bahama Bob's in 4 min. Only negative: need a better grill. We would stay here again.
