2nd stay was just as nice!

It’s our second year in a row staying at the “Gorda Getaway” and it exceeded my expectations both times. The place was spotless and the location right next to the beach is perfect. The host is always nice and professional! Definitely a 5-star experience!

My husband & I just wanted a quick getaway & to bring home some gulf shrimp. The house is quite nice. No dishwasher, but for the two of us, it was no problem. We left a little earlier than we normally would as we wanted to get out of the way of a new refrigerator being installed. The owner communicated with us really well. It’s quite a walk over the dunes to the beach from the house so we drove.

Good Value Close to Beach

House is nice and clean. Grill was not usable which put a major cramp in our food plans. Check in was delayed due to lack of access information. Overall nice clean house close to all the things. I would recommend to friends and family.

Excellent Stay

I stayed here 3 nights with a 5 year old, 2 year old, wife, and small dog. House sits a few hundred yards from the beach. We drove down the street and onto the beach- definitely recommend 4x4 if driving on the beach. The house had everything we needed and was very clean. The host was responsive and courteous. Overall we would absolutely stay here again, we rate the stay 9/10. Only recommendation to make this home 10/10 would be to do away with the colored lights on the balcony that come on at night- they can be quite distracting when looking at stars. And the chairs sit too low to where the balcony completely blocks the view from the amazing vantage point you have with this patio! 2 small changes to elevate this stay from great to perfect :)

Beach staycation

The beach and cabin were nice. It was clean and seems relatively new. The kitchen was well stocked. The covered parking was handy with the rain.
