Beautiful!
Fantastic vacation experience here - hosts and service were all outstanding. Comfortable, excellent accommodations.
Very clean home. Very accessible and easy to remember where it was when leaving for the day and returning back. We forgot a few things but the house had us covered!! 10 out of 10 recommend to stay!!
Very comfortable. We did not do any cooking but were very impressed with staples provided, spices, coffee pods, coffee filters, cooking oil, etc. beds very comfortable, very quiet neighborhood. Several outside sitting areas, very nice furnished screen porch, hot tub. Host was very welcoming and accommodating. We can't thank her enough. I will stay there again when I am in area.
Wow! What an awesome spot. The pictures could use some updating as things have changed a little. This place is lovely and very inviting. Everything from the location to the neighbors was fantastic! I love all the details from home decor to the outdoor decor. No issues or concerns. We definitely will look up this sweet spot when were back in Florida.
What a fun house!!
We loved the classic “almost cliche” beach house decorations - especially the flamingos!
The hot tub was a PERFECT reprieve after the nearly 9 hours it took us to get here from where we live near Pensacola.
Best sleep in days !
Granddaughter loved her personal get-a-way as well .
The welcome basket was awesome!
The shower was so impressive - I ordered one for my own home !!!
This was such a treat for us and hope to stay again …
Thank you so very much !!!

It was a very nice and comfortable stay with everything we needed. Owner very pleasant and communicative. We would definitely stay again next time we visit.
The host Fran was accessable from text. The property was very nice and met our expectaions and matched the pictures. It is an older property but everything has been modernized. The property also included unexpected amenities like coffee, shampoo. The hot tube was nice also.
The host was truly wonderful, pleasant, responsive to every question, and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We really appreciated the thoughtful touches, including water and snacks waiting for us when we arrived after traveling.The home was very comfortable, with updated kitchens and bathrooms, and plenty of clean linens. Truly everything you could imagine needing for a comfortable stay was provided. We also loved having two porches and plenty of outdoor seating options. Traveling with a pet can be challenging, but this setup made it not only convenient, but actually enjoyable to sit outside with morning coffee or relax in the evening Florida air.The overall Florida aesthetic set the tone for vacation mode, and everyone who stayed or visited commented on how peaceful and inviting it felt. We would definitely stay here again.
