Celebrating with family Our 50 yearAnniversary

We enjoyed our stay from the moment we arrived. The pool and hot tub was enjoyed daily. Very close and easy to travel to the beach especially in the six seater golf cart. The five bedrooms worked out perfectly. The Master Bedroom Suite is gorgeous! We prepared breakfast daily in the fully equipped kitchen. There were a few things that needed repaired but Katherine assured us this was on the to do list. Overall we would highly recommend this home for your next vacation.

Awesome house that needs some work and a professional cleaning agency that knows what they’re doing

The house itself was perfect and spacious; however, it was very worn down and needs some repairs. The banister was very unstable and an obvious safety concern. Multiple kitchen cabinets doors were missing knobs and loose. The master bedroom had very worn carpet, which needs to be replaced with anything else as this property allows pets and my dogs knew there were other pets on that carpet…guess how?! Our biggest complaint was the cleanliness of the entire property, which we relayed to the host and she worked with us to correct. There was food pieces scattered throughout the first floor, a condom wrapper half sticking out from the first floor night stand, food smeared on the lower kitchen cabinet doors and dishwasher, food smeared on one of the couches, both patio areas need a thorough pressure washing from grease, mold and whatever else was growing on the floor and walls, the sliding door tracks were covered in dirt and grime with one sliding door latch broken. The garage needs a thorough pressure washing or at least have all the dirt and sand blown out. Again, the house itself was great but when paying this amount, it’s hard to relax in filth.

Wonderful location in beautiful home!

This is a beautiful home with a perfect location! Kitchen had everything we needed and plenty of seating for everyone. Bedrooms were very comfortable, and everyone was happy! Loved the second-floor balcony in the mornings for coffee and the pool and hot tub on ground level for afternoons when we needed a break from too much sun and sand at the beach. Especially since we had two 19-month-old toddlers!

Perfection!

Hot tub and pool were a hit! Close walk to the beach! Having the house provide umbrella/chair service was the ticket! The community amenities were excellent. We did try to use the grill at the community pool and neither worked. My only improvement would be to either have 2 golf carts, a 4 seater wasn’t very efficient with our guest count.

Beautiful, spacious home

This was a great house with plenty of space for a multi-generation family trip. While you aren’t on the beach, it’s just a short golf cart ride away. The covered pool is a great bonus for rainy days and it’s worth the money to have it heated. The property manager is also very responsive and great to deal with.
