Hi, Ashley. We are delighted your stay at Backwater Bungalow was top-notch, and we hope to welcome you back to the beach soon. Thank you for being our guest!
House was beautiful just like pictures online. Loved having golf cart for beach and pool. Really enjoyed trip and only complaint is not much cell service.

Hi, Billy. We are delighted you loved your stay at Backwater Bungalow and appreciate you sharing your experience. We hope you can enjoy a relaxing beach getaway with us again soon; thank you for being our guests.
The house was beautiful. Door code did not work when we first arrived and we had to call. Pool was closed all week until Friday. No one notified me of this prior to arrival. This was disappointing to the kids. The pool was one of the features that helped us decide on this property. When we called about it they had no information on when it would be fixed. Other than those 2 issues it was wonderful. The house is extremely spacious, the golf cart is a life saving feature. The leave welcome starting gifts in the bathrooms and kitchens.
