Beautiful home that had all the comforts of home. The pool looking out over the water was the best of many great features. There was a boat dock which was convenient as we rented a boat for a few days. The furnishings were all new and very comfortable. The only downside was the distance to the beach which was a 25 minute drive.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 July 2021
Thank you for your review and for choosing to stay with us. I wanted to give you some tips to make your next VRBO stay more successful. Communicate in advance the house rules with all of the guests who are attending; this includes check in and out times, house rules, etc.
When one of the men from your group showed up at the property at 9:00am (check in is at 4:00pm) and we still had other guests there checking out, that was not appropriate, and an intrusion to their stay. Additionally, having our neighbors complain about loud noise, vulgar language, men throwing up and peeing in the yard at all hours and people on the dock passed out - not good. Ultimately, when you book a stay at anyone’s home it’s up to you to read the house rules and relay that information. If you don’t believe the people in your party can adhere to those rules, then best to book a different home with more relaxed rules. Best of luck next time.
This house was perfect for our group. We had four teenagers with different interests and there was enough to keep them all entertained. “Harry” the blue heron was an added bonus! Everyone had fun looking for him everyday.
Stayed there my extended family and 3 kids. Such a beautiful home with everything you need. It was clean, spacious with all new furnishings and lots of games for the kids. Breath taking views and a private beautiful doc that we used for fishing and kayaking. Only a short ride from the stores and beach. It was a memorable trip in a beautiful home, we will be back next year.
The house and location was beautiful. Short car ride to beach and shopping.

About the host
Hosted by Marisa Gotsch
My husband and I have one adult daughter and two sons; one who is a freshman in college and our youngest who is finishing high school. We enjoy traveling, reading, fishing and football. Real estate has always been a passion of mine, with 26 years in the mortgage business. Now that the kids are older and we have more time to find our own hobbies and interests, we found that vacation home rentals in our favorite destinations will be our next adventure. We sincerely hope you enjoy your stay with us.

This is an amazing property with stunning waterfront views. Amenities galore for a fun filled family vacation. Close enough to beaches, with the privacy of a secluded pool area and private dock. Great for fisherman who want to bring their boat or rent one for the week. Direct access to the Gulf of Mexico.
