  I had a great time with my family at Kiwi Grove. The house is situated close to the beach, dining, shops, and Seaside. We never ran out of things to do. Every room in the house is large and most have their own private baths. The pool area is where we spent most evenings. Mornings were spent on the balcony looking out at the bay. Everything you need is in the over-sized kitchen. Perhaps most important to us was the responsiveness of the homeowners. They were responsive to every question we had, both before and during our stay. Totally recommend!!

  We loved everything about it! The home is laid out perfectly for our 3 couples(all had king sized beds) and my daughter and her husband had the "suite" upstairs with their baby. The bunk room will be great as we grow! We were close enough to Seaside to walk or ride bikes, but not be in all the hustle the whole time. Close enough for all the best restaurants and a beautiful view of the beach from the rocking chairs on the balcony. Perfect for morning coffee. Just a short walk to the ramp going down to the ocean, but he pool was one of the best things b/c we could take the baby monitor and not miss getting sun! Love the safety alarm on the doors out to the pool for small children, and really loved the family room upstairs. All kinds of movies and games for everyone. It's not only beautiful, but very comfy and they have thought of everything...even a pack-n-play for the baby! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. This was our 2nd time there and we plan to go back!

  What an awesome home!!! Everything was perfect. So clean and comfortable. I can't think of anything that we could have wanted that was not there. I loved sitting on the top porch having coffee in the morning and seeing the beach!! Great restaurants and activities (thanks for all the recommendations!!) are all so close by. This is truly a beautiful area. We will definitely be back. I am also telling my friends about it.

  Wow!! What a fantastic vacation. My wife, two teenage daughters (and one brought a friend) and I had the most amazing time. The house was absolutely beautiful! The rooms were huge and the girls spent the first hour going room to room to claim their spots. The entertainment area upstairs was the gathering place the entire trip. We ate dinner together, played games, watched TV and movies and played on our computers. The beach is right across the street and the view from the upstairs porch is wonderful, especially with a cup of coffee in the morning. My wife and I walked each morning to Seaside and had breakfast at the market while the girls chose to ride bikes. The bike paths are everywhere and made it easy for the girls to do things on their own when they chose. In the afternoons my wife and I relaxed at the beach while the girls alternated between the beach and the pool. I have stayed in the Seagrove Beach area a half dozen times but never in such style. If you want a vacation to remember this is the place to stay!! Thanks Stan and Amy

  Thanks, Amy & Stan! The house was absolutely perfect. We all commented that the pictures on the listing don't do it justice. It's even more wonderful in person! We had four couples and 6 kids, and we had plenty of room. The BEST part of the house is the enormous open common space upstairs with the kitchen & den. The kitchen is huge with tons of counter space, and it overlooks the den so we could keep an eye on the roaming toddlers. It was so nice that there was a place for all 8 adults to sit in the den without feeling on top of each other. Ditto for the enormous kitchen table. We loved to sit on the porch and look at the ocean. There were lots of places for pack 'n plays, though I recommend bringing a fan or noise machine if you have a bedroom downstairs. (FYI - 3 bedrooms downstairs - 2 kings with private baths and the bunk room with private bath, 2 bedrooms upstairs - king room and two queen room, sharing bath). The ONLY small downside is that the bedrooms upstairs have to share a bath, while there are FOUR full bathrooms downstairs. But each bedroom is really nice. The pool is fabulous - especially after a long day at the beach. And it is just a short walk to the beach. We had a wagon & were able to easily tote beach chairs & toys down the ramp (which is much harder when you just have steps). The location is ideal - super close to Seaside. It's a really great house, and I would definitely rent it again! We loved our stay!!!!

  This was the perfect spot for my friends and I to bring our families. There were 5 families and 7 kids under the age of 2. There was plenty of space for all of our toys and pack-n-plays. I have stayed in other houses in the same area and this was by far the best. We had such a good time just hanging out in the big kitchen and at the pool. We are going to be coming back, when our kids are little bit older!

  The entire family loved every minute of living at Vacherie this week. Mackenzie, 10, said it best: I [heart] this house best of all! We've stayed in several VRBO homes, but this one fit us best of all, from the spacious pool room just perfect for endless games of Wii, to the wide-open family area where we cooked, ate and painted pictures. We did have a mishap - a plastic pitcher broke, so we replaced it with a palm-tree pitcher to match the gorgeous trees in the front lawn. The balcony with rocking chairs was a huge hit with adults seeking a few minutes solace from our madding crowd. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful vacation place. Know that we'll be in touch for a return visit.

  Vacherie was just the perfect place for our family to celebrate Thanksgiving and my 70th..ouch...birthday.....We've rented other places over the years and I can say without reservation that Vacherie immediately impressed me with the cleanliness and superb condition of everything both inside and out!!! Sometimes these places are a little "worn around the edges" but you all do a wonderful job with ongoing maintenance to provide an A+ property for your guests! The floorplan was great...we loved the privacy of the master being on the first floor...away from the early morning sounds in the kitchen area as I had a week holiday from all cooking!! The bunk room and other bedroom downstairs were great for our grandchildren and the parents of our youngest who is 2 1/2....He got to "bunk" in with his big cousins but still his parents were in close proximity!!! We spent lots and lots of time in and around the pool..After one little blip on the first day...which Andy responded to in about 5 minutes...the heated pool was just the ticket after a trip to the beach...since we did have surfers and kayakers they loved to go from the rather chilly waters to the warmth of the pool. Some of us just enjoyed the very ample seating and lounging areas poolside! All in all I couldn't imagine any other house working so well for us...when someone wanted to "get lost" from the crowd everyone had their own private suites....and as you had assured me the kitchen was outfitted to the hilt for our Thanksgiving meal.... Enuf said....WE LOVED IT AND WILL RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE WE KNOW WHO MIGHT THINK OF HEADING THAT DIRECTION!! Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season!
