About this property

Life is too short to settle for second best....This is truly Paradise on earth.

Bring nothing but a smile and you will be fine in Paradise. Totally stocked with nice kitchen ware, great linens, beach chairs, bikes, beach toys and the list goes on and on. Outside furniture galore as well as a gas grill . Very important because you won't want to be inside until after dark ! There is also two large beach canopies that you may use as well as a cooler. Nice televisions in two of the bedrooms. Internet access and free long distance.

Property was just as described! Beautiful beachfront home with tons of space and tranquil views. It was wonderful to kick back, relax and spend quality time with family on the deck while listening to the waves crash on the shore, feel the salt air breeze and see the morning sun rise each day!

Great location on no drive beach. We have always stayed on drive beach but have decided no drive is better. This property has an outside deck that is to die for…..very relaxing. Property has all the essentials & is well stocked. Some aspects of house seem to be getting a little tired (beds, sheets, appliances, washer/dryer set up, etc.).

Best Location

This was a great vacation spot. Fully stocked house, great location and easy to get around. Close to Publix and Starbucks was close too. We were able to come up for lunch and head back down to the beach for the rest of the day. We found a couple of great restaurants. We will stay here again.

Direct beachfront, nothing to block ocean view from inside or on deck , was a Perfect location with direct beach access! House had many amenities that helped our stay to be even better! The canopy for shade was game changer for the beach! Plenty of beach chairs for the family, nice large table inside and outside. Unfortunately had several storms and lots of rain so would have been nice to have had a little more space for indoor activities but would highly recommend this property!
