Spacious, clean, and so close to the beach. My entire family loved it. We thought we had an issue with the dryer and staff was super responsive to address it. Overall, loved it and will be back!

Awesome place!!
House is new, beautiful, and very roomy. Outdoor pool was perfect for our small kids to splash around. Had everything we needed and more. Close to beach and shops/restaurants (5 minutes or less to everything). Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect for 2 families - STAY HERE!!
This home was perfect for 2 families with teenagers. Plenty of room for everyone. It was clean and had everything we needed. Location was perfect! Close to the beach and restaurants all of which were accessible by golf carts. The pool was smaller then expected but still did the job of afternoon swims after being at the beach all day. Customer service was quick to respond to requests for trash pickup on the day we arrived. We really enjoyed the stay!!

Bad and sad
Everything good in terms of amenities and looks of it. Nights were dreadful due to the highly uncomfortable beds.

Hi Shobana, thank you for sharing your feedback during your stay. We are happy to acknowledge the property's amenities and appearance as positive aspects. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We appreciate you letting us know there is room for improvement, and we'll pass your comments regarding bed comfort onto our management team for consideration. Thank you for your stay, and we hope to welcome you back soon.
The house is beautiful and close to the beach ! They should get a new cleaning service because they aren’t thorough! The pool had a ton of sand upon arrival! The bed had hair in it upon arrival! Again the house was beautiful and amazing! If you have a big vehicle parking is very very tight!

Thank you for your feedback, Crystal. We understand that cleanliness is of utmost importance and we deeply regret that the home was not up to your expectations upon arrival. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide to our valued guests. Rest assured, we have taken your comments seriously and have addressed the matter with our cleaning crew to ensure this is an isolated incident. We hope that you will give us another opportunity to provide you with a much-improved experience in the future.
The listing looked great, communication was great before we checked in but once checked in that changed. The house was dirty, really dirty. Black mold on all vents, and the area around the walls. Sheets and towels were stained. Dishes put away dirty. Trash can in the kitchen smelled horrible and had some fluid at the bottom. The pool was cloudy and sandy. Not at all what was expected. The exterior doors in the property do not shut properly and have no locks. Meaning no security from the inside at all. I messaged the staff and they seemed unconcerned about the issues. On day three, myself, my friend and several of my children started getting sick. After a visit to the doctors office it turned out to be upper respiratory infections and the doctor believed the mold in this property to be the underlying cause. I’ve left several messages for management and they have not responded. DO NOT STAY HERE.

We are disheartened to read that you experienced issues that kept you from enjoying your stay. Our local manager assured us that the vents have been cleaned and housekeeping has been addressed about any cleanliness details missed. The pool was cleaned the morning you reported your concerns and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. The home has hurricane doors that have stickers with instructions on how to use them, but additional operating instructions have been added and we regret any inconvenience. We appreciate your feedback as we view it as an opportunity to improve and we hope you will allow us the chance to provide you with a truly exceptional vacation experience in the future.
