The house is absolutely perfect, great design and decor inside, big tv for watching my astros in the living and master bedroom, my daughter loved the big bunk beds, the fenced in downstairs was perfect for my dog, location is great as well, just a few minutes walk from the beach, the host was great. She answered any question I had and helped in every way possible. This was our first time using vrbo and renting at the beach. We have stayed with other family before at other cabins but this experience was so much better, the bar has now been set so high we will probably only stay here from now on. We just dont know how it could get any better. Cant give this beach house rental enough praise. You will not be disappointed. I wish i took pictures from inside the house, it is exactly as shown in the listing, listen yall will not be disappointed with this place.

We celebrated our daughter’s graduation here with family and stayed here another time too. Plenty of space for all the kids to sleep and safely hangout. Ana was an amazing host and really has everything you need there. We used their charcoal/gas grill and she had all the supplies. We entertained family downstairs and were able to keep our dog wandering freely with the closed in fence. Golf cart was a blast as well. Very accommodating for all ages and dogs too. If you want an easy getaway, a smooth process and a quiet evening then book this place. It’s a beautiful home, very beach like feel and plenty of space for all the fam. Thanks Ana so much for the care you put into our experience here. Each of our family members want to book this place again and were all really impressed with the home. I kept telling them how kind Ana has been and attentive. Definitely recommend.
