10/10 Perfect Family Beach Vacation

This house was PERFECT for our family beach vacation. It is in a small gated community that is right on a private beach that is a 1 min walk through the neighborhood. House was clean and bright and had everything we need to make meals. Really enjoyed a dip in the small private pool after a day at the beach. Was fun to feed the turtles and fish off the deck every day too. 10/10 Highly Recommend!

Family beach trip

We have stayed in Shipwatch several times. It is our favorite private beach. We had 6 adults and four kids. It did work out for us. Not room for anyone else. Nice beach chairs and toys. Response from management was great

This location cannot be beat!

The check-in process was very smooth, we didn't have any issues while staying here, and the location was phenomenal: we were able to walk to the grocery store across the street and walk to a restaurant down the street. The neighborhood is also welcoming and the private beach is a nice calm spot.

Perfect location for family vacation!

My family spent a week in this beautiful home and had a great time! We enjoyed the local restaurants and also cooked/grilled in the kitchen. The house was clean and comfortable and was just a 2 minute walk from the private beach. The Property Manager was great at communicating and very friendly! I would highly recommend this home for your family vacation. It truly was everything weโ€™d hoped for in a vacation home!

Fun family trip!

Great property for extended family gathering! The multiple master bedroom suites were so nice for larger groups. Loved the turtles and fish off the deck and close proximity to the beach for easy and private access. We did have a maintenance issues but they were quick to resolve and address. Washer and dryer were great to have on site. Loved the area and will return for sure!

Wonderful beach location and house.

The house and location were wonderful. The home was clean and spacious for our 5 adults and 3 children. The only thing we noticed was that additional silverware, for larger groups would be handy. We had an issue with a wasp nest that was taken care of quickly. The rental property management were great to work with. Highly recommend this house and the Shipwatch area.

Perfect Beach House

Our family really enjoyed our stay at this beach house. The house had plenty of space and great amenities. The proximity to the beach was amazing. The walk to the beach is only 2 minutes. The children loved seeing all of the turtles that are in the pond behind the house. I would really recommend this property to anyone looking for a perfect beach house location. Thank you for letting us stay at this great property. We cant wait to come back in the future!

Plenty of Space

We had a multi-generational family group stay for a long weekend. Plenty of room for folks to spread out. The weather was chilly and rainy, so we didn't get to use the outdoor facilities, but I could see how great they'd be in the summer.

A piece of heaven

We absolutely loved our stay. So much open, great space to accommodate everyone. All ages loved the patio view of the lake and turtles, making it a very relaxing spot to settle down, play games, etc. We expected a bigger pool but was great for the babies. Since the beach was so close and so nice, we didnt have the need for a bigger pool for the adults. Shopping for fun or groceries were literally walking distance, yet no crazy traffic. Such a great location!! We had a few issues with the a/c but they were quick to take care of it, very considerate. Thank you for such a great get away!
