Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the home and that the beautiful open‑concept living room, kitchen, and dining area provided plenty of space for your group to spread out and enjoy themselves. It’s wonderful knowing the layout and comfort of the home made your stay even better.
We truly appreciate you choosing our place and would love to welcome you back anytime for another relaxing getaway on the coast.
Our stay at Golden Hour Retreat was excellent. Perfect for large families and easy access to the beach. The golf cart was so convenient to use and the pool area was relaxing with TV to watch your favorite sporting event. The kids enjoyed the game area. Rooms were comfortable and clean. 3 King beds and 2 rooms with bunk beds for kids. Pier Park just a 20 minute drive away. Parking at the home up to 4 vehicles.Some recommendations; provide more bath towels and larger cooking pans/ pots. Communication was great with the host. I had to call because the door code upon check-in was incorrect, there was also minor damage on the pool table and door to laundry area prior to our stay. I’m looking forward to our stay here again.
