We had a great time! Ali was a great host and super responsive. The house had everything a large family could need and the private beach access made this place even more desirable. I don’t think it’s listed but there is also a free shuttle to the beach just across the street from the cottage (we didn’t figure this out till the last day). Also, the private beach only allows umbrellas so no canopy’s or tents allowed. We will definitely be booking again!

Thanks for the kind words, Ryan — glad our house worked well for your family and that you enjoyed the private beach access. I appreciate the heads-up about the shuttle and beach rules; we’ll update our guidebook so future guests know, and we’d love to host you again.

Great location!

Amazing location! Perfect walk to the beach and local shops. The private beach access is a plus because the public beach area was packed by 11am. Clean house with the perfect touches to make our stay memorable. Will book again in the future.

Perfect spot!!

We had 5 glorious nights in this rental! We had plenty of room for our group of 12!! Teens loved their own space upstairs for them to hang! Nice added touch were all the games provided! The walk to the beach is not bad at all, but also plenty of parking if you want to jump in the car with all your things and get closer! Ali was AMAZING at answering any questions - she done this quickly and efficiently! We have already reached out about booking for next year!

Great house, great location for our family of 12! (6 adults and 6 kids-12 and under). Easy 10 min or less walk through Gulf Place to get to a MUCH less crowded beach. 6 min walk to a nice pool. Thank you to our host- we had everything we needed!
