We really enjoyed a great stay in Michaela’s lovely rental home for a month and a half. It’s a charming home with a beautiful lanai, a screened pool and wonderful private outdoor space. The landscaping is beautifully done and well maintained. The home was super clean and has a useable well appointed kitchen with necessary cooking equipment which allowed us to prepare most all of our meals there. The home is located on a quiet street with friendly neighbors and a 5 minute walk to a wonderful Gulf of Mexico beach by way of the deeded beach access path. Michaela was an excellent host, always available and was responsive to our questions and needs. Just an all around excellent experience staying at that location! Thank you very much, Michaela!

Peacefull Relaxation
Great location. House was just as pictured. Nice neighborhood. Close enough yet far enough to busy places. Easy to nest in with all the conveniences and amenities of home.

Nice Vacation Spot
We loved the house and especially the large pool. Outdoor furniture was comfortable, plenty of umbrellas, pool very clean. Nearly complete privacy! Lots of beach towels. Kitchen is well stocked. Bathrooms clean. Good showers. Private beach access is not clearly defined, but public beach access is just down the road at south end of Gulfside Drive. On the whole, we really enjoyed our stay!

Everything you need for a pleasant stay
Our first impression upon arrival was that this was like an HGTV house with everything perfectly placed within a notable beach design theme. Everything within the fully supplied house was new, almost new, or very clean. Even the landscaping was eye pleasing and well maintained.
The location or the north side of the island is nice if you want a bit quieter and neighborhood feel away from the condo complexes. Neighbors in the area are very friendly. If you have a small boat, it is perfect with a lift. One issue that LBK needs to address that is out of the owners' control is the red tide. It limits the beach use on certain days. Good thing that the property has a very nice pool set up.
Special surprises were the awesome foam mattresses in each bedroom and the availability to explore the local canals with kayaks.
The owner was very responsive and helpful for tips. Really nothing negative to post after staying over a month. Would recommend for a small family. We cannot wait to visit again to this small slice of paradise.

5. Responsive and Friendly Host: The host of the rental house was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the entire booking process and our stay. They promptly answered any questions we had and ensured that we had a smooth and enjoyable experience.
