Our group of 8 ladies loved that this house has 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms with NO BUNK BEDS. The location is such an easy walk to the beach, Publix & CVS, several restaurants and shops and even the Catholic Church! The pool was always clean and warm enough to swim in. The kitchen is equipped with quality cookware. The washer, dryer, refrigerator & dishwasher all work great! What more can we ask for!!

Great house. great location

We had a wonderful stay. The house was perfect for a family of 8. The pool was also great for the kids and adults when not on the beach. The beach was within short walking distance. The house came with basically everything we needed. Carts to get stuff to the beach, pool toys, games, grill, etc. We would absolutely stay here again.
