Great stay. Lovely house. Good internet. I do, however, suggest informing renters they should bring their streaming passwords to access television, as the house no longer has cable.

Thank you so much for the perfect rating. We’re glad you enjoyed the house and the internet. We appreciate the suggestion, we’ll update the listing and pre-arrival information to note there’s no cable and to remind guests to bring their streaming account info. Hope to welcome you back to the Gulf again soon.

Overall this was a great property. Location was excellent. Close to beach, grocery, dining, fishing, everything. Outdoor shower needs a little fixing, but it worked (sprayed/leaked all over unless you hung a hand towel over the shower head connection.

So great, we came back!

We came to this beautiful property last year for Spring Break. Loved how it fit perfectly for our family of four. As our teens have gotten a year older, the extra bedroom was perfect for privacy. Very close to the beach and walking distance to stores and restaurants.

Nice house, quick walk to the beach and shopping

Nice place to stay for a beach vacation. Close to the beach. Recommend if you have a tent for the beach get there early to find a space otherwise you have to rent an umbrella. Easy walk to beach shop and some other restaurants and shopping. Enough linens for the family and nice laundry room to do laundry for the family’s clothes.

Great location. A short walk to the beach and an easy drive anywhere. The rooms were great. The game room is a game changer. Great fun for my kids. The property manager was fantastic. Linsey took care of us the whole time. My only regret was that we didn't stay longer.

Great Location and well kept property

We truly enjoyed our stay. The beach and pool were both convenient walks and the house had everything you could want. The property was well kept and the neighborhood nice and quiet. The pool was heated, and we met a lot of nice people there. The beach access was a couple minute walk straight down the sidewalk. Easy walk or drive to grocery and other shopping, but not in the middle of the commotion.
