Nice, clean, well decorated and well apportioned house. Convenient to everything. Rental company nice and easy to deal with. Would certainly rent again.
Fantastic location! Just steps to great restaurants and shops. We loved heading to the beach for sunset and then dinner right after.
The outdoor space at the house was wonderful, we were lucky to see manatee right from the dock. The house was well appointed with everything we needed for our week long stay.
We have stayed in many vacation rentals over the years, but none have been as enjoyable as this home. The location was perfect, the layout and comfort of the home could not have been better. The kitchen was stocked with everything we could’ve possibly needed and then some. So many houses we’ve stayed in recently have very clearly been investment properties with cheap furniture and sparsely equipped with the bare essentials. This house was the exact opposite of that. Comfortable and plentiful furnishings inside and out with all the amenities anyone would need. The pool and spa were clean and the perfect temperatures. The proximity of the house to both the beach and St. Armands circle were better than we could’ve imagined. We will absolutely return to this home.
Just as the listed stated. The location was perfect! Short walk to the Circle with plenty of shopping and great food. Very nice house, completely redone and beds were great! Very nice pool and short walk to the beach. The owner had plenty of beach chairs and coolers. This place was top-notch! Thanks for allowing us to stay!

Thanks so much for your wonderful review Dan!!
We really enjoyed hosting you and you are always welcome back for the next vacation :)
This was the perfect place for our large family! We chose to fly in and not get a rental car. The proximity to the beach and to St Armand’s Circle, plus the ability to have Whole Foods delivered gave us everything we needed. It made for a relaxing time. The house was perfect, the pool and hot tub beside the canal a retreat in itself. We’ll be back!
The house and location were ideal. We brought together our adult children and toddler granddaughter and thoroughly enjoyed the house and pool. We had multiple manatee sightings from the dock almost every day. The easy walk to the shops and restaurants was an extra plus as was the beach access. Being between the public parking areas provided a quiet beach experience. Will definitely return!!
We had the absolute best time staying at this property! The house was immaculate, and the outdoor space was exceptional! Also, You can’t beat the location. It’s literally steps from Saint Armands Circle and Lido Beach. It really has everything that you could ever want on a vacation. We will definitely be back!
We had such a great time celebrating our family members 75th Birthday. The house was fantastic! Everything available for a great vacation. The pool, the convenience to the beach (red tide was horrible though) and St. Armand’s Circle were key! The house was so well stocked with everything you need to cook a meal. Will definitely stay here again!
We loved everything about this property! Husband fished, saw manatees, pool was fantastic for the whole family, and beach was beautiful. House did not lack anything. Even had high chair and pack and play for our baby boy. Very very clean. Our family enjoyed our time together. Minutes from everything. The breakfast house was wonderful for breakfast and you must eat at the Columbia.
Communication before we arrived (even dealing with the COVID uncertainty) and throughout our stay was awesome and much appreciated. The location of the home cannot be beat - steps to the beach and St. Armand’s. The toiletries were a great touch, since we did not bring shampoo to save space in luggage. The pool, spa, and facilities were even better than the photos. We will definitely stay here again when we visit in the future.
This was the perfect getaway for my young family and our au pair! Our au pair stayed in the guest house which also was a great place for my 10 year old to do his remote school M-F. The guest house is fully equipped and would be a great place for grandparents. The main house has all the room you need and for a ranch house, it is so well layed out! The kitchen had everything and walking out the sliding glass doors to an updated pool and outdoor area on the canal was amazing!! The entire house is completely updated, well taken care of, and the pool and spa controls are easy to use and they heat up fast. Being from Chicago, we needed warmth ASAP! There are plenty of sand toys and beach chairs and a great wagon for kids to walk the one block to the beautiful beach. Another one block walk to Kilwins and St Armands Circle! We only wish we could have stayed longer!!
Our family rated this the best vacation yet! We loved the home, the views from the pool to the canal, and the spacious atmosphere. It was so convenient to everything, from the beach to St. Armands quaint shopping and dining!
Perfect location, beautiful beach and awesome time!
Last time we stayed in a two story house. This time I was worried since it wasn’t as large sq ft wise, but ended up loving the layout, pool, location and beach access. The house had everything we needed to cook, and many of us are cookers. The beach is a short three minute walk. We rented a boat for a few days and docked it at the house. Boat was fun and so easy since we could just get in and out when we felt like it. Everything is labeled in the house which helps. Love the layout that I can cook in the kitchen while watching the kids swim and some fish off the deck. We were there during COVID and got many dinners to go at night. Wait time was only 15-20 minutes before we would walk to pick it up. Great time!!
This property afforded us the perfect, relaxing, comfortable, convenient two week escape. House amenities are top notch and location couldn’t be better. Property managers were highly responsive. Can’t wait to return!
I HIGHLY recommend this home. We had an absolutely wonderful time. The house is better than described and the location is absolutely impeccable. Right across the street from one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever been to. The owners of this home thought of EVERYTHING to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The garage was of bicycles and floaties... the kitchen was fully stocked.... the beds were super comfy! The communication with the real estate was hands down the quickest and easiest I’ve ever encountered. THANK YOU!!!
