Girls Weekend and we had a great time. Enough space for the group of 16. The house was clean. Pool was clean as well but we weren't able to use it because of the weather.

This house is large, spacious, and tons of bathrooms. The house has a wonderful lay out. In a great location to be able to get to all the beaches. The private pool and screened in porch is wonderful amenity. The house offers bikes, kayaks, pool toys, sand toys, wagon, hammock, and a fully stocked kitchen. As a large family it was a beautiful place to stay and we enjoyed staying there.

The Sanctuary 2024
We were a group of 16. This house had it all! It was spacious, clean, plenty of bathrooms and bedrooms- and no complaints from anyone! The beds were comfortable! The kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies and there were 2 great refrigerators. The pool was the icing on the cake! We all enjoyed it immensely. Air conditioning worked great and the screened in porch off the back of the house was a nice place to gather. We highly recommend this rental house!
