Thank you for your feedback—we’re glad you chose to stay with us! We’re always looking for ways to improve and appreciate the note about additional knives for large groups. For context for future guests, we do provide a generous supply of linens, including bath towels, beach towels, and extras placed throughout the home to comfortably accommodate larger groups. That said, we’re always happy to provide more if needed—guests just have to let us know!
My family really enjoyed our stay here! The place was clean, comfortable, and the pool was amazing. It’s also conveniently located just 20 minutes from the beach. Highly recommend!
Property was clean and everything we needed for our short 3 day stay.
Close to food, groceries and beaches.

Great stay. Clean house with great pool and close to all the good beach places
Stayed for 4 weeks to escape Midwest winter. The house was great. And the management company was helpful. Pool heated up quickly and I was able to enjoy it all 4 weeks! Great location to many popular beach destinations

We had a nice 4 night stay to visit family in the area. This fit our needs perfectly for 2 adults in a nice neighborhood close to stores and not too far to Anna Marie. Too cold for the pool but a beautiful back patio to enjoy the outside! Also if you like walking it is a good area with quiet roads to walk on.
The location, pool and overall stay was very much so pleasant. We were given extra check out time due to a tropical storm so that was generous. Would definitely recommend and would be back to this property again! 10/10
