Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear the location was perfect for your group and that you enjoyed the spaciousness of the house. It sounds like the beach access was a big plus too! We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Very pleased with location, close access to beach, the pool was definitely a big hit. Number of bedrooms and baths were just what we needed. Enjoyed the included beach chairs and umbrellas, set up for us everyday.
So positives first, house was absolutely amazing pictures couldn’t do it justice. There’s plenty of space for everyone to relax we had 9 in our party. Location was excellent there was a public access 2 min walking distance awayHost left welcoming bag that was a pleasant surprise.Now my only negative was that there was major construction next door and across the street that blocked access to the house from time to time. Noise made it impossible to sit outside and enjoy the days. If I was aware of construction prior I wouldn’t have minded as much beside that my family had wonderful Christmas vacation

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that the house exceeded your expectations, had plenty of space for your group, and that you enjoyed the location and welcome bag. We sincerely apologize for the construction nearby and understand how that affected your ability to fully enjoy the outdoor spaces. We truly appreciate your understanding and are glad your family still had a wonderful Christmas vacation. We’d love the opportunity to host you again in the future under quieter conditions!
We had a blast, the whole family agreed one of our best! House was spacious,clean, and just a short ,short walk to beach . We had 2 babies and small children no problem walking to beach. We will all remember this vacation! 12 people total and plenty of room also the teenagers loved staying in guesthouse. It was a nice quiet neighborhood, you won’t regret staying at this gem!

We’re thrilled to hear that your entire family enjoyed your stay and that the house worked so well for both the little ones and the teenagers. It’s wonderful to know you created lasting memories and appreciated the spacious layout and convenient beach access. We would be delighted to host you again for another unforgettable vacation!
House was amazing (and includes an in-law suite separated by the pool area)! The house was beautiful and had everything we needed (plenty of cooking and cookware options, towels [bath and beach], comfortable beds and extra blankets). Location is great and only a few minutes walk to beach access 87. Even had 2 beach chairs and umbrella set up included each day. Will definitely stay here again!
Great house, clean and great access to the beach. The only downside was no spices in the kitchen. Could have used salt and pepper for cooking. We also only had one trash bag for 10 people for 4 days.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The house was beautiful, very clean, and had everything we needed for a perfect vacation. The pool was a huge hit with our group, and with 10 people, we had plenty of space to relax comfortably. The beach was gorgeous, and just a short, easy walk away, the quiet neighborhood made crossing the road to get there a breeze. Between the amazing location, the wonderful amenities, and the overall comfort, this was truly the best place we’ve ever stayed. We can’t wait to come back!

Our family of Nine really enjoyed this property. It is so close to the beach, but far enough from the crowds near Pier Park. It was an easy drive to everything. The pool was great and there were extra toys left for the kids to play. Definitely bring extra paper products and any spices you might use. The suite over the garage was perfect and has everything you may need. The chair service was perfect for watching the sunset each evening. We would stay on this property in the future.

Very nice home! It was very clean, close to everything, the beds are super comfortable, and the upstairs bedroom had the most amazing shower. The view of the beach is great and it’s only a short walk away!

The only issue I had was the beds were a little to firm but some like firmer beds. Had a blast in the pool just a tad small for big groups. But with that said it was nice to have a pool. Walk was a breeze to the beach. Grill area unfortunately had ants everywhere so hard to grill without getting eaten up by them but of course you are outside. Outside seating needs new cushions. Overall great location and not noisy but we were there after school was back in session.
