Great beach house

Our family really enjoyed our time here. The views from the home are great. The beach is a short walk away. First time for our dogs at the beach, they loved it. Many areas to relax inside and out.Plenty of room for everyone. Home has a really good layout. Great food and activities not too far away.

Wonderful family vacation

This property is in a great location for those who enjoy beachfront vacations. Lots of outdoor spaces and seating to watch the ocean on one side of the house and the intracoastal waterway on the other side. The beach is only steps away from the house and we did not have any crowds while we were there. The open floor plan kitchen and family room was great for meals and game nights.

AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!

We had a large group that stayed in this house and everything was perfect. The views are amazing and it sits on a dead end road that provides a more secluded feel. I didn't notice it when I booked the property but it has an elevator which was a huge help when you have over packers!! We will definitely be visiting this property again.

Always Dreaming was a Dream!

This property was fantastic. There was plenty of room for everyone, great decks to enjoy the evening breeze and a well stocked kitchen. The beach was private and just a stones throw away. Everything was just perfect and made for a wonderful vacation. Thank you so much.

Location is amazing!

Had an amazing weekend!! You can’t get any closer to the water! The home has amazing views out of every window. The beds are comfortable! The walk to the beach is literally out of either the front or back door. The home is fully furnished. The property management was responsive and provided all of the instructions needed before we arrived. Check in and check out was easy! Had a great weekend!

Amazing Location!

This home is perfect for a large family. There is plenty of room for both privacy and gathering together. The views are incredible and the location is amazing! The ocean is in front of you and the inlet is behind you. We all enjoyed exploring the tide pools behind the home during low tide. We were lucky enough to see a lion fish and many other sea creatures. We came home with beautiful pictures to remind us of our stay. Rent this home, you won't be disappointed!

Perfect for a relaxing family vaca

This was our second stay in this home and it was just as relaxing as the first visit. Having the ocean waves crashing just in front of the house on the jetty makes for very soothing days. The bedrooms are spread across upper and lower levels to give everyone their own space and privacy. There’s a photo on the listing that is misleading, showing there’s a fishing dock on the back that was amazing on our first stay, but it’s now covered with sand due to dredging so no inlet out back anymore. Beach is now only accessible from walking in the sand-filled inlet behind the house around another house, but it’s worth it! Owner was an excellent communicator and we’d book with them again.

Best of Both Worlds

Our family stayed at “Always Dreaming” for our 2020 annual Thanksgiving vacation week. This home fit our needs perfectly, as we have some who enjoy the beach and surf fishing, and some who enjoy the calmer back waters for kayaking and water boarding. The home is beautiful and very accommodating for large families to enjoy each other’s company in the large family/dining/kitchen area; on the wrap around porch and upper deck; or one can retreat to their own private area and still have spectacular views from every room. We are thankful and consider it a blessing to have had the opportunity to stay in this beautiful home.

Absolutely loved this home!

I rented this home for a little family get away. There were 9 of us in the house, 7 adults and 2 teenagers. Everyone loved the house. We had plenty of room and never felt like we were on top of each other. With the ocean in the front and the intercoastal waterway in the back, the views are spectacular from every room. The home offers many outside areas to hang out and enjoy the view too. We stayed in December so the wind off the ocean was a little cool, but perfect sweatshirt weather. Loved it so much that we are hoping that we can rent it again. Rent it and enjoy it......you won't regret it!!!!

Friends Reunion

We enjoyed the home and it's location. The bedrooms were clean, comfortable and had wonderful views of the ocean. Our favorite spot was the outside patio which afforded a view of the Intercoastal waterway and the ocean, with a large table to enjoy our meals. On our first night, the oven gave us some problems. They responded immediately and sent someone out to fix the problem first thing the following morning. While we were able to use the oven, it remained very slow to heat and probably should be replaced. Having said that, we loved our stay and will be booking again for next year.

Pretty location

The location of the property was beautiful. Although it didn't affect our trip we were surprised to find the house appears to still have some hurricane damage and is in mid-repair in some areas. We arrived at night and half the lights didn't seem to work so that was inconvenient. The house was large enough for our group and accommodated us nicely. The main TV didn't work and the two upstairs bedrooms didn't have blinds on the glass doors so privacy and the ability to sleep in were affected. The kitchen met our needs and overall the house met our expectations.
