Great vacation rental, especially for large family

We loved this property and will rent again. Very nice house with easy access to private beach. Had a big group and there was plenty of rooms and bathrooms for everyone. A few maintenance issues but the property manager was very responsive!

Family Spring break 2025

Wonderful clean and open/spacious house with great amenities, on the beach in a private area between public beach access points so great privacy and plenty of open beach to play on even during busy times. 5 minute walk access to large private community pool was also a win.

Amazing property

This house was perfect for the 17 of us (10 adults & 7 children). It was a very short walk to the private beach which was nice. The kids really enjoyed the pool. My only complaint would be that each person is given only one washcloth. Bring some from home unless you want to do laundry daily while on vacation I feel like this is a house we would definitely choose to stay in again.

Beautiful Property

This beach house was very accommodating and beautiful! We celebrated our youngest child's wedding proposal, as well as, our oldest grandchild's birthday while there. We loved all the seating in the living room that looks out on the soft sand and clear blue water; and enjoyed gathering around the large kitchen island and table daily to eat amazing food and play games. Since we did have little children there, it would have been helpful to have the pool/spa covered or enclosed with gates rather than open water on the deck, so be aware of this if you have little ones. There were a couple of minor things that needed repair, but the beds were so comfortable and we had everything we needed in this lovely place. It was a vacation for the books!

Great house, needs new cleaners

The house is amazingly beautiful and has everything you need. The views are great. The only thing we didn't like was how dirty it was. The floors were really dirty, there was dust and fingerprints on the kitchen appliances. The house has two sets of washer and dryers. The upstairs washer smells terrible and made our clothes smell awful so we weren't able to wash anything. Overall we had a wonderful time and would consider staying here again.

Simply Amazing

The house was simply beautiful and in a great location. I visited with 6 other friends and it was perfect. The kitchen had everything you could possibly ever need. The host was very responsive and the house was spotless. We enjoyed the home so much that we decided to stay an extra day. We will be back again!

50th Birthday Celebration

Wonderful stay. House was spacious and family friendly. Loved the private beach access. Couple things to note - water pressure in the showers was not great plus several took cold showers since the hot water did not seem to last very long. Tall standing mirrors are suggested. For as many bedrooms and ladies that like to have a mirrors available I was surprised there were none in the bedrooms. Only mirrors were bathroom mirrors. Overall it’s a beautiful house and location.
