The house was perfect for our group, enough space to be together, enough room to have privacy. The house had all the amenities, the pool was heated, per our request. The house was peaceful, well maintained. I would happily stay again. It is a short distance to the beach, perfect distance from downtown business. The beach there was amazing. 100% recommend this house.

We had a fantastic time at the Golden Hour! It was a really nice layout and in a fabulous neighborhood. I absolutely loved the design choices (especially the upper level)! The home feels spacious and comfortable. A few blocks from the beach and an easy golf cart trip to restaurants/shopping. I would book again!

Our Golden Hour Getaway

This property is beautiful. It is even more spacious and lovely than the pictures show. We had everything we needed to host our extended family and some friends, including a well-equipped kitchen with professional-grade appliances. We were gathering from all across the country to celebrate the wedding of one of our three daughters, and this was the perfect spot to gather everyone for a family vacation for the wedding week. I must admit that there were many stairs to climb, and while an elevator would have been nice, we had the benefit of a workout throughout our stay. (If you have anyone in your party with mobility challenges, this may not be the best choice, but for our group, we managed fine.) We give our highest praise to the management team. When we had any concerns or questions, they were quick to respond and fulfill our needs. It was an amazing week!
