Why they chose this property
This property is located a few blocks from the beach. We spent months getting it all fixed up so our renters will have the best experience. We had a lot of fun painting furniture and finding quirky items to give this home some charm!
What makes this property unique
Casa DeSoto stands out as a true family-friendly retreat just minutes from Crescent Beach. Unlike typical rentals, it offers a fully fenced backyard with a fire pit, hammock, and sand play area so both kids and adults can relax and play together. Guests love the large front porch with rocking chairs, the thoughtful extras like beach chairs, cornhole boards, and a Neso beach tent, and the convenience of parking for multiple vehicles. The home blends comfort with coastal charm, making it more than just a place to stay—it’s a place to create lasting memories.
