Great ome, Amazing hosts, pool, extras all exceptional. One of the best rentals we've experienced. Multiple areas, inside and out to chill with a cocktail or coffee. Great decor and overall vibe of the house. Pool probably one of the bigger ones we've experienced in a BSL rental. Loads of extra touches/amenities - beach toys, floats, chairs, towels, coffees, treats, tons of stuff. Great stay.

Our hosts were so welcoming. We had a flood in our home and had to move quickly. They rolled out the red carpet for my family with a beautiful welcome sign inside the home and a nice beverage to enjoy as we unpacked. The thing that stood out most is their attention to detail with creating the ultimate vacation experience. Everything they did was intentional to give their guests the ultimate experience in relaxation--I was awakened each morning to the sound of birds chirping out my door, the trickling sound of the fountain and the soft sounds of the chimes. In the backyard is a salt water pool and outdoor gathering area for cook-outs. It was simply heaven!

This place is precious, cozy, well stocked, perfectly located, and all spaces/beds were super comfortable. We enjoyed the heated pool and firepit, as well as the adorable front porch! We rented Beach Bungalow for a girls trip and it was perfect. Donna is so communicative and helpful. Stay here! It's about .8 miles to the "town square" and right across the street from the beach. It was very quiet and peaceful. Would love to come back! Love BSL!

The host made us feel welcome from the start, providing a bottle of wine, cupcakes from a local bakery, and a beautiful wooden ornament as a keepsake. The home is small, but every space is comfy and used to its full potential. Sleeping is an amazing experience, with the most comfortable beds and a nice, wide couch that feels like a single bed. The furniture offers plenty of seating for 6 people, and the stylish decor accentuates the beauty of this home. We were able to use the cooktop, oven, and grill to prepare meals. And I spent most mornings lounging on the upstairs porch bed with a good book. Bonus: the magnolia tree on the side of the house began blooming the day before we left. I'm sure the guests after us got to experience the many flowers on the magnolia tree in the front lawn. Just gorgeous! We loved the heated pool. It is just the right size to be warm in the 70-degree cloudy weather we had. The little covered patio near the pool was nice for those of us who needed to be in the shade. We were impressed with the quality pool floats and rafts. They made us feel like we were staying at a resort.Every space and piece of furniture was clean (even the cups, plates, and silverware). The huge upstairs bathrooms were amazing. Great shower space. Note: the downstairs sink is very small. If you don't mind this, the house is pretty perfect.Highly recommend this close-to-the-beach home with a super responsive host.
This milk frother started my day off with a gourmet coffee.

This house has it all!

Everything about our stay here was absolutely perfect. From outstanding pool area, to the bedroom balcony with a bed swing, the property doesn’t miss. We rented from a local golf cart company and were able to enjoy shopping, the nightlife, and even the casino with a breezy golf cart ride. We were a short drive to multiple golf courses as well. The house is practically on the beach which provides another avenue for a good time. 10/10 recommend staying here, we will be back.
