Loved our stay! Beautiful open living area, which connects right into a lovely sun room. Kitchen is massive, and fully stocked with anything you could need, including a blender, pots/pans, measuring cups, etc. The outdoor space was private and much larger than it seemed in images. Bedrooms are spacious with ample windows and comfortable beds. A high-quality home decorated with lots of charm.The neighborhood felt like it was plucked out of a storybook. Friendly neighbors. Quiet and serene. Beautiful community pool, which never appeared busy—essentially had it to ourselves. The golf cart was a huge bonus! Could travel to the pool in seconds, the beach in under 5 min, and tons of great restaurants. Communication was seamless with the owners. They even accommodated a last minute additional nights stay. Would recommend staying here to anyone, and hope to stay here again!

Good Vacation spot

We had a great stay! The house is in a great location—just a short, easy walk to the beach. The neighborhood pool was amazing and definitely a highlight for us!Just a heads-up for future guests: the house didn’t have dish soap, laundry detergent, cooking seasonings, or extra toilet paper, so you’ll want to bring those essentials with you. Otherwise, everything was great and we enjoyed our time!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad to hear you had a great stay and enjoyed the location and neighborhood pool—it’s definitely a guest favorite. We also appreciate your notes about the essentials. We do provide a starter set of items like dish soap, laundry detergent, and toilet paper, but if anything is ever missed or if extras are needed, we always encourage guests to reach out—we’re more than happy to provide them. As for cooking spices, due to health department regulations and the risk of contamination, we're unfortunately not allowed to stock those. Thank you again for your helpful feedback and for being such a wonderful guest. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!

Lovely multi-family getaway

This was the perfect home for our multi-family reunion/vacay. The open layout is awesome for entertaining the family as well as having private time in the sunroom. 15 minute walk from the beach was doable but highly recommend you rent a golfcart to get around the lovely beach town. Our family had a wonderful time.
