See what our recent guest had to say:
"This house was the perfect match for what our family needed. We have an older dog, so being able to bring her with us was wonderful. The house is decorated beautifully. The duplex quality allowed us to be with family, but not overcrowded. The beach amenities... chairs, umbrellas, wagon, and the golf cart made everything so easy. The pool is a perfect size for a family and it was soooo nice to cool off in after a day at the beach. The beds are comfortable and all the linens very clean and nice. Clint was very helpful and responsive. We hope to stay here again and again."
