This home is amazing for friends and family getting together for a weekend at the beach. The pool is an awesome spot to unwind and cool off after a day at the beach. Everything we needed was there. Worth every penny if you have a large group staying together with plenty of room to spread out. Best rental we have ever stayed in!

We stayed at this home with another family the last week of March/first week of April. The house was a perfect size for 5 children and 4 adults. The pool was warm and the house was clean. Any time there was an issue, the property responded quickly and helpfully. The walk to the beach was very quick, although traffic on 30A can be busy, so be careful letting kids go alone. We loved the location, close enough to things but not overly crowded with people. We will definitely rent again.
