The Justus cottage was great for my family of 5. More like a 1st story condo in a gated community, it is nestled just a few hundred feet from the beach. Everyone in the private community was so nice. We ventured out each day to explore but loved coming back to our quiet private beach! Lauren was a great host and was always quick to respond. Great spot for a family!

We loved this place! The location was easy to find and in an area with lots to offer. The condo was spacious and comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped for days we chose to cook. Morning/Evening walks along the beautiful white sand or around the grounds. Tennis and Pickleball courts were available. Time at the pool was a daily event. Restaurants and shopping is close by.

Wonederful stay

Our family had a great time staying here! The cottage was settled nicely in a beautiful location surrounded by plants and welcoming walkways to the beach or pools. They also offer a beach tram to take you to the beach if you would like. The beach was absolutely amazing, with soft white sand and clear emerald waters. It was a very relaxing vacation and we would definitely book here again.

Peaceful Resort & Cottage

There were three women on this trip, and it was absolutely wonderful. The weather cooperated the entire time we were there. The grounds and the cottage was such a relaxing place. I would recommend it to anyone who asks me about the space and location.
