Our host was amazing! She was in contact with us before and throughout our stay. Our accommodations were super clean and lots of space. We had a beachfront view from our second story loft balcony. It was serene. Will definitely be back.

Can't beat the location! The property was clean, spacious, stocked with all the necessities, and located right across the street from a public beach entrance. We were also within walking distance of our favorite restaurant. We can't wait to stay again.

We had a great time at the house this Labor Day weekend. Location, location, location it was SO easy to go back and forth to the beach and it was one of the nicer access points through a butterfly garden. Check in and check out was a breeze, and it was comforting to know that the property manager was nearby if we needed anything. More than accommodating! The house is charming, and definitely has that old beach house feel. It is worth noting though , that if the otherside is booked or really anytime anyone goes up or down the front steps the whole house shakes a bit which was jarring at first, but we did get used to it. Also, the staircase inside is a bit steep and some areas of the floor upstairs are a bit uneven due to settling. Again, perfectly fine for our purposes, but if you have elderly or children with you, it may be worth considering.

Absolutely beautiful, comfortable, and perfectly placed home. We felt so cozy all weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our time off of the beach relaxing at our rental. Carol was so amazing and we are so grateful to have connected with her and her beautiful home. 10/10 would 100% recommend!! We brought fans just in case it was going to be hot upstairs but the AC was perfect for a great sleep after a long beach day. The mattresses are firm if you like a firm mattress! Otherwise, a mattress topper might be something you'd want to bring. I had amazing sleep and got so much rest while I was here. All of this on top of the perfect location close to the beach made for an amazing weekend. Thank you so much and I'm looking forward to returning!

We were able to see the Gulf of MEXICO from the balcony. The sunrise was incredible. The property doesn't overlook the beach but it's a very short walk.

This old-style beach house was just the ticket for our kids and stay. Great location. Good view (between some beachside buildings) of the beach. We were able to see the sunrise. Access to the beach is perfect and the butterfly garden access point was loved by my daughter. Clean. Comfortable. Great management and response to very minor questions. Highly, highly recommended.
Sunrise viewable this time of year.
Upstairs living and tv area.
Upstairs (unit 2 only) balcony gives great views.
