Great location! Steps from the beach with a beautiful pool and backyard. Kids loved the game room. The house is very spacious and slept our whole group with beds to spare. Close to grocery and restaurants.

Great location - needs a little TLC

Loved our stay. Spacious, close to the beach, and plenty of parking. It could use a few touchups, kitchen drawers were a tough to open, and they didn’t have many bowls for things like cereal. Pool and basement area are great, bedrooms are spacious enough and as described, though the flooring and fixtures could all be updated or handles/faucets tightened

This was a beautiful property, and our family of 9 adults and 11 kids had a wonderful time here in spite of less than ideal weather. The management that handled the rental was very responsive and helpful with lots of communication the week before checkin. They even allowed us to check in early that morning since it was already cleaned and ready to go. The large family room with high ceilings almost gave a feeling of being outdoors while being indoors. Enough bathrooms to handle a large family well. Plenty of seating and large tables. The 2 kitchens are a plus. Note that the downstairs has only an induction cooktop. The beds were extremely comfortable, and I slept soundly each night. The downstairs pool table, air hockey and big screen tv would make an excellent teen hangout. The pool was lovely. The property seemed private from neighbors. The private beach is accessible with a key fob, and it was not crowded, even on a holiday weekend. It is such a short walk to get to the beach. Some in our group commented that we were able to get to the beach quicker than if we’d been in a large condo and had to wait on elevators. The home is situated in a lovely neighborhood to explore in the golf cart.(Note: the golf cart waiver is lengthy, but fill it out before you arrive so you’ll be ready to go!) We couldn’t have been more pleased with this rental for our very special family gathering and would certainly love to return there another year.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We are delighted to hear that your family gathering was such a special and memorable experience, even with less-than-perfect weather. It means a great deal to know that our team’s communication and service helped make your stay smooth from the very beginning. We're especially glad we could accommodate an early check-in and help your family start enjoying the property sooner. We're thrilled that the home's spacious layout, comfortable furnishings, entertainment areas, and beach access worked so well for your group. Hosting multi-generational family vacations is exactly what this property was designed for, and it's wonderful to hear that everyone—from the adults to the kids and teens—found something to enjoy. Thank you as well for sharing helpful observations about the induction cooktop and golf cart waiver process. We know future guests will appreciate those insights. Most importantly, we're honored that you chose our home for such a meaningful family gathering. It was a pleasure hosting your family, and we would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back for another stay in the future.
