Perfect for our family

Right off the bat, communication with Christin was wonderful. I felt as though she were a friend! 1. Location: Pointe West is where we wanted to be, and this home is in a great spot in PW. Perfect sunset view in the evening, and a very short walk to the boardwalk to the beach (I carried my infant in my arms the whole way there). 2. Charming: Decorated so beautifully, and the house was so cozy. We felt as though we were in our own home. If you like Nancy Meyer’s movie homes, you’ll love this one!☺️ 3. Clean: everything was so clean, and spotless! I have young children, so cleanliness is one of the things I look for the most! Thank you Christin and Cameron for making our quick little getaway a wonderful one!

We stayed here to celebrate our daughter’s 18th birthday.

We wanted something nice before she went off to college and it was simply stunning! The kids loved the microwave and they had a great time at the pool and the lazy river. We also had a wonderful meal at west end marina.

Great mom/daughter weekend.

We had a wonderful weekend here. The house looks even better than the pictures. It was clean and well stocked with pots/baking pans/etc for cooking meals in the house. The quality of everything was better than expected. We were not able to locate the beach cart and Christin was very responsive and eager to assist. Communication was great. We look forward to making this trip annually and will definitely plan to stay here every time. The proximity to beach was great. Had ocean views from the front balcony. Plenty of balconies, outdoor seating in the shade. The beach club was great when we wanted to utilize the pool after a day at the beach. The only thing that would have made the weekend easier would be a keypad entry. Keys can be difficult to keep track of with teenagers. Thanks for a great weekend retreat! Look forward to returning and would definitely recommend!

A wonderful stay

We could not have been happier with this beautiful, perfectly appointed home close to the beach. The layout was fantastic, decor so lovely, windows everywhere, indulgently comfortable beds, and a fully stocked kitchen to cook. They even had white noise sleep machines in the bedrooms! The owners were extremely responsive and happy to help in any way. This home really provided a wonderful, relaxed backdrop for our long weekend at the beach. We would love to come back again!
