We loved this beach house! My son was obsessed with the marvel theme. It was conveniently located close enough to the main parkway but also far enough away from the high rises that the beach wasn’t crowded. We loved having our own pool that we could actually see right from the kitchen to keep an eye on the kids. The bedrooms and main living areas were spacious. It was well kept. The only reason I took off one star was the beds. They were very squeaky and not very soft. Some new mattresses and high quality bedding would really put this place in the top tier.

The property was great, we all enjoyed the access to the beach and the pool. We didn't read the text before travelling, so we assumed that like many other beach houses we've stayed at, there would be some toys, beach towels and beach chairs, but there were none. To be fair, that was in the text that I didn't look at until we arrived, just posting this so others are aware and arrive better prepared than we did. House was in a great location - far enough from the main area to be nice and quiet, but close enough to be convenient to go to dinner.

Great beachfront property with a pool! Perfect location and plenty of space. The washer and dryer on both floors was a huge plus. Some reviews said there were no brooms but there is a broom, vacuum, mop, 2 irons, and an ironing board. There’s no pantry but there was plenty of available drawers and countertop space.

The location of the house is great. The beach views are beautiful, the house was clean but I was overall disappointed especially coming with a large group. There really wasn’t enough seating, the fridge is horrible be aware if you grocery shop before checking in and not enough closest space they do not provide any hangers.

We appreciate you pointing this out and will definitely share it with our team as we look for ways to improve.

We got this house for our annual family trip. We had 5 families (11 adults and 5 kids under 5). Each family had their own bedroom and private bathroom. Laundry on both floors was excellent. Right on the beach within minutes of everything. Plenty ofroom for everyone. It was perfect!

What a great location and an even better property. Fully furnished and seems as if it’s a new property. There is nothing you will want or need here that’s for sure. Television in the living room was a bit confusing but other than that it was a top notch place to stay!

Fantastic Beach House Great Location

The house was incredibly clean and new. Slept 5 couples and 3 children with plenty of room. The individual rooms are extremely big compared to other beach homes in GS. Washer/Dryer upstairs and downstairs which is nice. Pool was clean and heated. Will be booking this house again next year.

Amazing house

My daughters and I just stayed at the Marvel House. I can’t say enough great things about it. The house was spotless with very nice furnishings. The pool was very nice since the ocean is definitely too cold to get in. It is in a very nice, convenient location. We are already wanting to return to GS and will definitely be staying here again. I have nothing but positive things to say about this house!!

The location and property were perfect! The only thing I wish I would have paid more attention to was the fact there was not a walkway to the main beach. We had to climb a dune back-and-forth, which made it extremely difficult for my elderly mother to enjoy the beach. But the pool made up for it for her.

Great space and super comfy beds and pillows, super close to everything. A/C was perfect. Only con is there is no boardwalk, and if you have kids and things to carry out its a hard walk back and forth. Not to complain but just to inform. :)

Great beach front home with heated pool right on the beach! Beds are very comfortable. Kitchen well stocked. Fun whimsical decor. Very few negatives. Not enough seating for all the beds. Seating in living room is pretty uncomfortable. Wing table is really in the way and not very functional.

Great Family Trip

We had 6 couples of family and friends stay here for the week along with our 2 boys (3 & 1) and it was perfect for everyone. Plenty of space for game night. Only “complaint” would be fridge space and the need for ice. We brought coolers to help. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need. The knives were pretty dull, but again, this place was great and we had the best time. Rooms were fun, my son fell in love with the jeep bed which made nap time go a lot smoother. Would recommend this place to anyone with a large group wanting to be on the beach and have a pool. 10/10
