Spring Break 26' 10/10 - House was perfect for our large family! Had everything we needed - bonus was 2 high chairs for our grand daughters and a wagon that was perfect for going to the beach. Host checked in on us to make sure we were happy, which was nice. Would highly recommend!

Really enjoyed our stay

We loved the charm of this older home, but loved that it has been totally updated and the decor was fresh. Pool was amazing, location was perfect. It is not 5 bedrooms, just 4. But we made it work.

Family get away

The overall check in was amazing, the host communicated throughout our trip. The refrigerator in kitchen kepted reading high temp, but it wasn't an issue since there was a backup in wash room. The kids love the pool and it was literally a short walk to the beach. We had a great time.

We had a wonderful 7-day stay at this beach house. There were a total of 7 adults and each group had their own private area and bathroom. The kitchen was spacious with a nice island for seating. The dinner table had enough room for our group. And such a nice outdoor area in the back including the pool. There was a fire pit and also multiple loungers and chairs. We wanted for nothing! The owner responded quickly when we had a question. It was located two blocks from the beach! So close and easy to get to for viewing the morning sunrise. It was a wonderful, memorable vacation with the added charm of the beautifully renovated beach home. We hope to stay at this location again!!

Family Get Together

Had a great time with our adult kids and spouses (total of 8). The house is recently updated with all the amenities and a block from the beach. Really nice backyard pool with gas grill and plenty of lounge chairs. Also convenient parking for our four cars. Two of the bedrooms are connected with a single entrance and separated from each other with a barn door so that could be inconvenient for some but worked out fine for our two single adult sons to use. Would definitely come again!

Fantastic beach house

Me and my family had a wonderful stay at Island Time Poolside. This house is newly renovated and is spectacular. The home is very spacious with plenty of room for a large group and has 4 full bathrooms. The kitchen is well equipped and the backyard is lovely with the heated pool. The location is very convenient as its a short walk to the beach on the seawall, local attractions ,dining and shops. The host was quick to respond to any questions we had, Keith was very nice and went above and beyond . We 100% recommend staying here and we would love to come back. You will not be disappointed.

45th birthday Stay

She was very flexible with us checking in early. Communication was good when we got here but at first it start off rocky. The house a nice house great neighborhood had everything there although we had to buy stuff for our stay. The access to get in the house was good. Water meter was off but soon as i texted her she told me where to look to turn it on. The house is down from various place that we went. Everything about the stay was legit. I will say the house had an odor when we first came in so i dont know if it was because of the oldness or from being in a flood at one time. My family had a good time , i had a good time and i would definitely do this again, and would recommend to anybody

Amazing beach house!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We had a total of 9 guests, both kids and adults. Super close to the beach, about a block away from the Seawall. Easy walk to Murdoch's and Pleasure Pier. Great layout inside the house and awesome heated pool. Will definitely be coming back here!
