We had a wonderful time at this home, as always!!! We have been renting this home for several years, and LOVE it more and more each stay! It is set up to hold lots of family without feeling closed in. Lots of space and light. Of course the view is amazing, and the beach is always beauitful, and never crowded. The home has a comfortable feel, and the extras are awesome!! GREAT Coffee maker, and the ice machine is the BEST! Little added features make a huge impact as you can see with this home. The property is clean and well maintained, and I would, and have, recommended this home to others. Looking forward to next year!!!

We've had the honor of staying at Brittian's Beacon a few times. We love it so much our family comes from all corners of the country to stay here! The beaches are beautiful with some of the best shells we've found on the Northern Gulf Coast. The living rooms upstairs and down, gave young and old places to hang out. The deck facing the gulf became an early morning coffee routine for a few of us, spotting dolphins and Blue Angels almost daily. The fully stocked kitchen was much appreciated by all the chefs in the family and we had great fun sharing cooking. We cooked a complete Turkey dinner one night and a seafood feast another. Every thing we needed was thought of. The kids loved the beach, spending hours in and out of the water. All of us agree, it's our favorite place for a family reunion! It should be your favorite place too! Looking forward to planning a girl's getaway week soon!
Owner response:Thanks Rick and Jayne for your very kind review. It is so stressful picking a location for the "family get together" and I know your info will be helpful for those that have taken on this responsibility for their families. Brittains' Beacon hopes to see you again soon :) Most Grateful - Janet

This home was just as it was described no suprises. Their were 12 of us on a golf vacation and we had plenty of room for all of us. We also loved the location of the house, right across the street from the beach. I would recommend this house to friends and family. The owners were also great to deal with.
Owner response:Thanks John for your kind words and review of Brittains' Beacon. It's amazing to me how hard it is to get folks to comment online. I guess everyone wants to keep a good thing for themselves. Most Grateful - Janet
