When we arrived, there was some kind of construction going on on the road and some sewage smell. We called the host and she immediately offered us another property that was only two blocks away. Which we had no idea that she even had. It was actually an upgrade. It was beautiful. We’re definitely go back and stay again with her, we appreciated it very much.

Great little 2 bedroom house! This house had great beach access, about 2 blocks away from ocean side and also the bay side had a cute little park and kayak access. We would definitely stay here again. Great location at a great price.

The condo is perfect for 2 adults or small family (1 bathroom). Very clean, nicely decorated, and short walk to both the gulf and bay. It’s also in a neighborhood that feels very safe. I would highly recommend. Also, the kitchen has everything I can think of if you want to cook.

Great spot! Perfect for 3-4 ppl. Short walk to a beautiful beach. Well stocked with everything you may need. They even had a cart to use to carry everything to the beach. It is a duplex but we never heard the neighbors. Plenty of parking. Overall excellent choice. Screened in porch under the house was perfect for enjoying the rain storm.

This was our second time staying at this property and we will continue to stay at this unit whenever we visit this area. The entire family loves this property and surrounding area as it has everything you could need; plenty of space, amenities included, everything is stocked (towels, kitchen ware, beach items, etc.), property manager is very responsive.

We enjoyed staying at this beach house. It was a perfect size for our family of four. We easily walked to the beach every day! The house was very comfortable and welcoming.
