I think the house could use a few items. For starters having shampoo available and a some coffee in the house. We had to run out for both items first day. The bed could use a topper as it’s not very comfortable. Small thing could make the stay five stars.

Thank you for your feedback—we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your suggestions.
We do want to mention that we provide a starter kit for our guests, and we’re careful to be upfront about exactly what items are included. Prior to arrival, we send a detailed list so guests can plan accordingly for anything they may want to bring or purchase during their stay. Items such as shampoo and coffee are not included in the starter kit, and we apologize if that caused any inconvenience at the start of your trip.
We also appreciate your note about the bed comfort. We understand how important a good night’s sleep is, and your suggestion of adding a topper is very helpful as we continue looking for ways to improve the guest experience.
Thank you again for your thoughtful input—it helps us continue to refine and improve. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
Location was great, but had some unfortunate issues with the property itself, and specifically, the pool. Reached out to the property management company multiple times about a significant leak in the pool (which caused the water level to drop six inches or so per day) and the only type of response we received was simply to ask for pictures. The problem itself was never addressed, and the ability for our kids to use the pool was the primary reason we rented the property in the first place.Really disappointing.
Thank you for your kind feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed the apartment and its convenient location near the beach. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed the easy access to the beach, restaurants, and shopping it’s one of the things our guests love most about the location. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
The property was located close to the beach, shops, and restaurants. We loved the space! It definitely fit the needs of our family, and the pool was an added bonus. We will look to stay here in the future.

Condo was very clean, well stocked, and we always felt very secure in the gated community. Owners lived across the hall from this unit and were available if we had any questions.

Seamless Comfort
Our stay with the SeaBreeze Vacation home was excellent. The home was very clean and comfortable. The communication before and during was excellent. We did not have any issues with accessing the home, and the stay was great.
From initial contact with the owners to check out they were easy and accommodating even checking in on us 2 times making sure all was good. Their condo is incredible! Decorated by what must have been a true professional. We loved every thing about it.

Very happy with our stay! The condo is absolutely beautiful. Robert and Andrea’s attention to detail was evident in the fully stocked kitchen, beyond cozy bedrooms, variety of family games and recliners on the lanai for afternoon naps. Great location with close proximity to the beach, shopping and restaurants. Will definitely return. Highly recommended.
