We had a great time staying at this rental! The kitchen is fully stocked and the hosts made sure we had all the beach gear needed to enjoy our time on the sand. Recommend getting the golf cart rental so you can cruise down to the beach in comfort, otherwise it is a bit of a walk. The house is stylishly decorated and great for entertaining. The hosts were easy to communicate with and always available to answer any questions.
This beach house was exactly what we needed for a relaxing trip with our two fur babies . The home was spotless and very comfortable, and the kitchen was impressively well stocked for cooking meals in. We also loved the variety of games and activities available, it made our evenings really enjoyable. The host was incredibly responsive and very reasonable throughout our stay. We would absolutely return.
