Lovely, spacious home with room for 3 families.
The kids had a blast in the swim spa and easy access to the beach. The firepit was such a great addition. Everything was perfect, we will most definitely be back this summer!
The house was well thought out for maximum enjoyment. The hot tub was a great feature. We star gazed while relaxing in the hot tub. The number of bedrooms was great and we loved the views from most of the rooms. I highly recommend staying here and look forward to our next booking at this property.
We had the best time staying here! Everything was nice and clean. The kitchen had everything in it which made it nice and easy to cook when we wanted to. The beds were super comfortable and the oversized hot tub was amazing! We had a great time cooking smores and enjoying the fire pit! Everything was perfect and we cannot wait to go back!
Great house. Plenty of separate beds for non-couples. The fire pit was not usable but we dug a hole in the sand and had a roaring fire just on the other side of the fencing. Will rent again if we have another “guys” trip.
House is beautifully located directly on the beach. Kids loved the swim spa and watching a movie from it after dark on the outdoor tv. This Oklahoma girl wasn’t expecting the very slight swaying of the house with the breeze, but I’m sure those more familiar with beach life would laugh at me. 😂 Beaches were never crowded and we had plenty of space to ourselves. Overall, great place!!
We were a large group with kids and adults. The house was equipped with gates around the house and on the deck so it was safe for our toddlers. The view was amazingggggg. Had everything we needed and more to cook. Enough space for everyone to sleep comfortably. The outdoor area was very nice and the heated pool was great for our stay since we did go in a colder season. No complaints at all! I wrote the host at a late time and he wrote me back fast and helped with all my needs definitely a five star stay!
The house is beautiful right on the beach the hot tub IS HUGE and the beds were very comfortable my father got this house for me for my birthday this year and it will not disappoint the home owner is AMAZING and super caring and a great communicator definitely will stay here again
Excellent location. Beautiful view. Lots of sleeping area. Living space was somewhat smaller than expected. Being colder weather we were inside more. The large hot tub was a big hit. We looked forward to the fire pit but could never get it lit, possibly due to it being so windy. We came to beach for a Thanksgiving family reunion and had a very good trip overall.
We loved that it was on the beach , so having to walk down was so easy. The house was very well furnished and the decor was very nice. We plan on coming back next year

We had to cancel our trip due to hurricane damage
and lack of power. VRBO and the rental agency worked with us on getting our money back thru the trip insurance and we received our refund very quickly.
