Great spot for friends or family stay. Rooms were great and spacious. Kitchen was great. Pool and deck area were awesome to hang out at. Location is excellent with beach access across the street and great eating nearby (try the mahi tacos at Caddy’s).

Best local ever

What a beautiful house and perfect location. We had 3 couples, 1 toddler and 3 dogs. Rooms for everyone with their own bathroom. The private dock was great for fishing or sunning. Setting in the pool with the beautiful view of the bay or under the cover to stay out of the sun.

Poor Communication and Privacy Violations

I stayed here with my wedding party during our wedding weekend and let the host know months in advance that we would have guests coming and going throughout our stay, which the host never responded to. Despite this, the host closely monitored the exterior cameras the entire time and falsely accused us of throwing a party—which we did not.I also messaged again before our arrival to clarify about having extra guests, and since I never received a response, I assumed it was permitted. Instead of communicating clearly, the host waited until the night of my wedding—an incredibly meaningful and already stressful day—to threaten to call the police if I didn’t immediately pay over 2,000 in added charges.Between the constant surveillance, lack of communication, and threatening messages, my guests and I felt extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome. We ultimately ended our stay early because of the outrageous fee, complete lack of privacy, and overall hostile behavior from the host.I would not recommend this property to anyone looking for a respectful or relaxing experience

Luxurious and Relaxing Getaway

This house exceeded our expectations! The decor was stunning, and the amenities were top-notch. We especially loved the elevator for getting our luggage upstairs, and the hot tub overlooking the intercoastal was perfect for enjoying a glass of wine. The location couldn’t have been better – with easy access to the beach and the Gulf of Mexico. We spent our mornings sipping coffee while watching the sunrise, kayaking in the afternoon, and relaxing in the hot tub in the evenings. It’s also close to great local attractions and wonderful restaurants. A dream vacation spot we’ll definitely return to!

Nice place but not as pictures show

Nice quiet location,the cleaning people need to learn how to clean,under the furniture is just layered in dust,just awful!Also inside the oven was very dirty as well,elevator worked for like 10 mins then stopped working,didnt need it so didnt worry about it. Definitely needs some fixing up around the place for sure but overall was decent!

Our Stay in the Peach House

The size and location of this house is a plus. The pool and hot tub are a nice bonus overlooking the intercoastal. We had 4 couples in the house and everyone enjoyed the week. There were some issues that were not easily overcome. No welcome/instruction booklet for operation of the TVs, the pool and hot tub, the AC, etc. So we had to figure stuff out as we went. We discovered the dishwasher was broken and reported this on day one and it was not fixed until day 4. Also there was a layer of dust on and around the electronics and under the furniture.

Nice property but needs TLC

We enjoyed our stay but there were lots of little items that needed repair/improvement. Darcy and Matt, the owners, were responsive and did the best they could but the house needs a handy man to fix/update many issues: When we arrived the main floor AC was not working and with 3 bedrooms and the kitchen/DR/LR on that level, 77 was really warm, especially for sleeping. Very few of the windows actually function for opening so no cross breeze available-which would have been a huge plus being that we were located on the strip of land between the Intercoastal and the ocean. The main doorwall had apparently been out of commission for months (as the homeowner stated the part was on back order for that long) so you have to exit the side of the house and walk around to use the deck. To the owners credit they had an AC guy come the next morning and rig the AC to work for the main floor. For some reason that made the AC upstairs (3rd floor) go into overdrive and it was 63 in the master bedroom & bath the whole week, which was chilly. This was even with the unit upstairs turned completely off. In the office upstairs the ceiling fan did not work so owner offered to replace with another he had in the basement. He was able to remove the broken one, but not replace it. Again, to the owners credit they went to the store and bought 4 box fans to help cool the rooms down. We appreciated that. Neither the fridge in the office nor the ice maker in the main kitchen worked. They bought us bagged ice and came back with a portable ice maker the next day. The pool & spa managed to work most of the week, but it overflows into the Sandy area they built overlooking the Intercoastal. Pool guy said they have a “leak issue”. BBQ was in rough shape and all the solar lights that guide you out to the end of the dock are dry rotted and broken. We also replaced ping pong and dart board equipment as it was all trashed. The have 3 or 4 bikes none of which are functioning. Flat tires, broken chains etc and of the two sea kayaks one has a good paddle, the other is duct taped together. The whole garage area needs a good cleaning- full of kids toys, buckets and wagons full of sand. All relatively minor fixes but at the price we paid, you expect more from a property like this. The area is nice. Walk to beach is short. All the furniture and and beds are comfortable. Decorated nicely. We didn’t have any problems with the elevator. We made the most of our stay, & the owners were kind

Unique and lovely Beach home!

Very charming home with loads of personality. The location was perfect; just a short walk across to the Gulf coast and a private pier out to the intercoastal waterway/canal.The only reason I gave 4 stars for accuracy of listing is that the photos make it seem like everything is flowing from master bedroom to living room and kitchen and it was actually very separated by levels. Perfect though for a couple of families….but we were traveling with 2 disabled guests so it a little tricky.Overall : Excellent vacation spot!!!!!

Great house and location

Three families stayed in this house, kids age 15-18 for spring break. The location is great, nice that you're secluded and we never worried we would bother the neighbors if the kids got too loud. Lots of parking was a plus as we had some friends staying in the area and they could just park at our place to walk to the beach. Loved that the beach was never overly crowded, very quiet area. We loved Caddy's and Sharkey's, short walks away. The pool was so nice and the hot tub was great too, spent most of our time at the pool and hot tub. We had to contact the owners to turn on the hot tub heat but they were always very fast in responding. You'll see past reviews about the condition of the house but honestly as a seasoned VRBO renter, it's par for the course. Also, it's obvious that the past hurricanes have done some damage and will take time to get things looking good. But none of that had any impact on the fun we had on the trip. We ordered a skim board off amazon and had it delivered the day we got there, plus there was one already there. We left ours as a donation, which I'm assumed a lot of past renters have done. There were some kayaks and a paddle board but only one oar, but we just took turns on the intercostal with the one kayak. There were a good amount of garbage bags, laundry pods, dishwasher pods, etc to get us started but picked up more during the week so the next renters have some to get them through. Over all, great place, would love to stay again.

Nice house

The house is large and well appointed. The beds are comfortable and the pool is lovely. Note that the pool heater and hot tub cannot get hot at same time which is a bummer. We really never got use of the hot tub because it wouldn't get hot. The pool furniture was lacking and needs to be upgraded. The owners were very responsive. We had a broken tv and they brought us a brand new one!

Lovely Home

We really enjoyed this home for our girls weekend! Its in the perfect location and has beautiful views. Quite area and easy beach access. The dock is very peaceful and the perfect place to be when the sun rises. The property management was great. Very helpful and attentive to our questions/needs. I would book this place again and recommend it to others.

Luxury Price, not a Luxury Experience

I visited with 5 other professional friend couples on a group trip. The house was in a great location, and the pool was very nice. Cannot comment on the hot tub as we did not use it. However, I feel like the property was poorly managed for a few reasons. 1. The AC would not go below 73 degrees and we were all miserable throughout the night because of how hot and humid it was. When we attempted to turn it down, it would reset to 73. 2. Unusable grills. The big green egg had maggots in it and the other was out of propane. 3. Checkout was at 10am and a guy we believe to be the cleaning person entered unannounced at 9:55 while we were still there. He didn’t knock, and it felt very creepy as he was sitting in his car outside for over 30 minutes watching us. I’ve also never been in a VRBO where we needed to wash and put away dishes. Do not plan to sleep in on checkout day for these reasons. 4. The back door to the patio was broken. They left a note on the door about it (no message before check in), but the deadbolt was broken so anyone could’ve broken into it. 5. Some areas such as the outdoor bar sink and downstairs shower were not very clean and had dirt/grime on them. 6. They did not supply any extra toilet paper or paper towels or trash bags, so we had to buy our own. We ran out of these products after 1 day. 7. The trash from the previous renter wasn’t taken out. While this house has a lot of potential, we were very disappointed given how expensive it was.

Awesome spot

Great home for families and kids. Plenty of room and things to keep you entertained. Pool overlooking the sound is pretty neat. Private pier to fish from is great. Short walk to the beach. Super convenient location. My only complaint is it is missing alot of lightbulbs in some of the lights inside and out and some general maintence would really make it perfect. Other than that its great! We will be back for sure.

Family Vacation

House was accommodating for our group of 10. Overall house was clean and the location was perfect. House could use some updating. Patio furniture was poor, gas grill barely heated up. Lights burnt out, challenges with many light switches that seemed to have no function. Host did respond quickly and assisted with our elevator issue. Overall the house was well furnished as well as the kitchen. Just seemed the house needed some maintenance/repairs.

Great Weekend Stay

The location of this vacation rental is fantastic. We enjoyed both waterways, and got out on the kayaks for a sunrise paddle on our last day there. The kids loved the pool, the parents loved the hot tub, and the house was comfortable for the baby shower we hosted. The showers besides the master suite shower were slow to warm, and did not ever get fully hot. The downstairs shower was slow to drain. The room advertising 2 queens includes an uncomfortable sofa sleeper. The room advertising a bunk bed and queen bed, sleeps 2 comfortably. The loft bed is cute, but not a comfortable place to sleep. We loved the use of the well stocked kitchen, beach towels, and pool toys. The living, dining, and porch spaces are wonderful. I would definitely rent this unit again for a group that needs 1 king, 4 queen beds, & 1 double bed. The proximity to the mangroves and beach is delightful.

Perfect Home for our Stay

With this house you get to enjoy both sunrises on the intercoastal and sunsets at the beach! We enjoyed the hot tub and infinity pool when we weren't spending time at the beach. Great location to enjoy many restaurants, shopping, and other activities. Owners were very responsive to any questions that popped up. Perfect house for large groups and families.
