Our family of 17 stayed for a week!! It was very clean, and exactly as described! We enjoyed the outside pool and patio! We had a couple of issues, and they were addressed and fixed instantly, communication was great!! We would definitely stay again!! Thank you for the hospitality!! 🩵
The house slept over 30 people but the refrigerator in kitchen was small and ice maker did not work. In addition the stove was small and only one dishwasher. We had two washer and dryers but one dyer was broken. Beside that the house was nice and the pool. Location was great.

Laura, thank you for staying with us. We’re so glad you enjoyed the home, pool, and wonderful location.
For the benefit of future guests, the indoor kitchen and its appliances are accurately represented in both our listing photos and description. The property also features a great outdoor kitchen, giving large groups additional space for cooking, gathering, and entertaining. The home comfortably provides sleeping accommodations for more than 30 guests and offers plenty of space to enjoy time together.
When you contacted us about the ice maker and dryer, our team responded immediately and repaired both. We take property maintenance seriously and are always committed to resolving any unexpected issue as quickly as possible.
Thank you again for your visit. We’d be happy to welcome you back.
Warmly,
Alex
The perfect size house for 36 people. It wasn’t crowded at all, it was a quick walk to the beach, and the pool and patio were so nice that you could spend your whole vacation there! The neighborhood is gated so it is less congested than the main streets. The property management company knocked it out of the park with my questions and support! Always attentive and responsive, it was a true dream vacation rental!
Groovy Goat is perfect for large family gatherings. We had 32 people there and loved every minute. Clean, spacious and met our needs with a short walk to the beach. Pool is amazing and the golf cart and arcade games are a great bonus.

GREAT HOUSE!!!
This house was so very roomy! Very clean and the 2 washers and 2 dryers were a huge help! I’ve never stayed in a house that was more well stocked than this one- LOTS of dishes and pots and pans, cutlery… The 6 seater golf cart made it sooo convenient to get to the beach! Now, for Coastal Retreat- they were so easy to communicate with. If I messaged them, they got right back to me. Needless to say, we had a GREAT time!!!

We gathered family for a week and all worked out great! The home is well located and was laid out well. Kitchen had items we needed. Kids enjoyed the arcade games. The pool was cleaned during the week. The golf cart was great for shuttling folks down to beach. We would stay here again!

Beautiful property. Pool was awesome. Kids loved the video games. Great place to hang out with all our family. All the bathrooms for all the bedrooms were a plus. We were a little worried about getting to the beach with the golf cart. It took us several trips each time but with our group someone was always available to make the run.

Perfect House!
We stayed at the Groovy Goat with five families—21 people in total—and it was absolutely perfect! The house was spacious, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Alex and his team were incredibly responsive and made sure every detail was taken care of. The heated pool and hot tub were definite highlights, and the beds were super comfortable. We were also impressed by the amazing water pressure in the showers! We would absolutely book the Groovy Goat again and highly recommend it to others.
We had a great experience staying at the Groovy Goat. The living/kitchen/dining room is even more spacious than it looks in the pictures. The beds were very comfortable and the house is ideal for large groups. We spent a lot of our time at the house in the heated pool and hot tub, which were the perfect temperature for late February. There’s a great coffee shop and a breakfast shop that are next to each other within walking distance from the house. I would 100% rent this house again.
We were in Florida for our son’s wedding. We chose this place because of how perfect the room arrangements matched what we needed. Nice setup with the private, separate 2 rooms and den on the third floor and so many 2nd floor rooms with king beds. The place was really clean when we arrived. The golfcart was a great plus. Our family and friends really liked this house for us. Very happy!!
Everything was perfect just as advertised. There was plenty of room. Parking was our only issue. The golf cart was definitely a plus. We loved having a pool at our house and we gathered there most of the time. We had a great time!!

Large family gathering of 17. House was perfect. Everyone had their own space while enjoying the community of being together in one house. The property was clean and well maintained and had convenient access to the beach with the use of the golf cart but also within walking distance.
