The house was super clean. My guests were in awe with how pretty and clean it was. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the house very spacious. A/C works great as well, no problem keeping all the house evenly cool. I loved that the host was readily available for any questions I had in the days leading to our stay. While we were there, she also texted to make sure everything was OK and to see if we needed anything. I recommend it 100% and we will be coming back soon.

Fabulous

The house is beautiful inside and out. Comfortable couches and plenty of sitting room. Kitchen has everything you need for meal preparation. The decor is so nice, it felt like coming home. Beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. Lovely sitting area outside and pool is directly across from the home though we didn’t use it this trip (winter). Close to beach and shopping too! We all loved it and will come again.

Great Home

We enjoyed our stay. The listing is a little deceiving as we perceived this home to have a private pool. That is not the case. It is a shared pool with other homes. I discovered that the week before our stay. Other than that, we were very pleased with the home. It was stocked with a full kitchen and beach towels. We were very happy with the house.

We had the BEST TIME!

WOW, is this house nice! It's got a really great covered patio downstairs, nice and breezy and room for everyone to lounge around. The decor n the house is really pretty and beachy - beautiful color everywhere. The fully equipped kitchen is large, clean and easy to cook in. Lots of seating inside for everyone. The bedrooms are big and have the comfiest mattresses on the beds. The bathrooms - 4-1/2 bathrooms in this house! Every bedroom had its own bathroom and there was no waiting. We'd like to return next summer for another family vacation in this same house. It was perfect, relaxing and enjoyable.

Amazing and relaxing stay!

This property hands down is the cleanest and best short term rental property my family has ever stayed in. The home was well appointed, and welcome gifts were provided. It truly felt like a home that my family could live in everyday! We rarely ate out the entire time of our stay and enjoyed utilizing the wonderful kitchen for nearly all of our meals. The games provided were in excellent condition and there were even some board games that had not been opened yet. My family enjoys a regular family game night so this was very much up our alley. The beds were comfortable and my family slept well every night. The home was just a beautiful short walk from the beach. We received very regular communication from the property managers each day to check in on the quality of our stay and provide helpful tips. They were also very responsive! We have already bragged to our friends about this property and intend to return in the near future. My family has agreed that this was one of our top vacations, and we have visited other countries! Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay!

I recently stayed at Reel Life Dreams through VRBO, and I was pleased to find that the property exceeded my expectations. It was clean, tidy, and well-maintained, providing a comfortable stay. The location was convenient, with easy access to both the beach and the town. The property had a nice shaded area under the house where we enjoyed hanging out and playing games.

Couldn’t have asked for a better home for our family and pups. It was priced right, easy and the house was a great layout. You could tell they wanted our furry friends to be with us and it was totally inviting. Caught myself wanting to write a review 1/2 through the trip. Great people and great home.
