We loved the house; there was plenty of room for all of us to hang out together. We loved the big couches and the fire pit at night, as well as the large dining room tables, both inside and out. We were all able to sit together easily, which made for great bonding times. Our host was very responsive to any of our needs and could not have been more helpful. The bedrooms were roomy and comfortable. Close to everything in the area. Highly recommend!

Everything was great except the tub in the master bedroom. It was so slippery you could not shower in it. The floor was humped slightly and the middle was like ice. Not good for the 68 yr old taking a shower. Tbe rest was wonderful.Plenty of beds for 9 adults. No bunkbeds. We fished off the dock.we loved using the golfcart,what bonus! Great French bakery up the street! Saw the Christmas parade from the front porch. We added our own holiday cheer!

Amazing location! We enjoyed the pool deck and its great water views. It was an easy walk to the beach, but we also really appreciated the golf cart. The layout inside also made it easy for us all to gather for meals and board games, plus easy spots for the kids to play, craft, or chill!

Weekend of sunshine and warmth!

We traveled from Pennsylvania down to Florida for a long weekend to visit my father in law for his 80th birthday and to visit the rest of my husband's family that lives in Florida. The rental was a perfect combination of everything we needed to make our mini getaway a great one for us and our kids. The heated pool provided hours of fun for our kids and their cousins--literally HOURS! The fishing dock and kayaks were also used daily by us. Kayaks were there for us to use in addition to fishing rods (we used our own) and a whole shed of pool floats, life jackets, etc. While we did have access to our family's cars, the ability to use the rentals golf cart is the perfect addition for out of towners to travel along Gulf Boulevard. And finally, the close beach access was a perfect distance to walk to with my kids to soak in some of that Florida sunshine. The house was fully loaded with all the essentials needed to cook family dinners each night. They even provided new propane as we arrived for the outdoor grill and 2 coolers were there ready for outdoor use, as well. Bathrooms were fully stocked with soaps and towels. Since the rental is pet friendly, our family that lives an hour from the rental was able to bring their dog to stay with us. Otherwise we couldn't of spent time with them if they had to worry about finding a dog sitter for him. A great accommodation!Kimberly was super communicative with me, which was so nice to experience someone that truly cared about our experience.

Awesome home and location

We loved this house. It was perfect for our family of six adults and six kids ages 11 months to seven years. It was like new and very clean. A very easy walk to the eighth Street public beach access, or use the fun golf cart. Kids loved the pool. Very nice quiet neighborhood.

Great place Great location

This house fit our stay 100%. House has five bedrooms and three bathrooms - plenty of space for large groups to spread out. Common space is spacious as well. We were there with our adult children and they loved it. Pool and patio was perfect when we wanted to stay in and we were able to walk to so many places - restaurants and the beach. Golf cart was a huge bonus for those days we didn’t want to talk. Definitely recommend!

This property was perfect for our large family. There were 5 bedrooms, each with a tv and individual a/c unit (property also has central a/c) which was perfect for people who enjoy various levels of cool! One en-suite bath had a walk in shower which was perfect for elders. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and there was also an outdoor grill. Although we didn’t need it, there was a baby crib in the closet.The pool area was wonderful! The pool was very clean and there were a lot of shaded seating options. In a shed, there were floats, life jackets, fishing equipment, beach chairs and a wagon. Off the dock, we saw manatees and a dolphin that came so close we were almost sprayed when it came up to breathe!There were a large number of bikes available for us to use and a street legal golf cart which we used on the daily. The bikes tires were low but we called the property manager and she came over right away to pump them up. (BTW- she was very nice)This house was perfect. We could walk to the beach and many restaurants in 10 minutes, and many other stores and restaurants were within 1-2 miles.We arrived before the cleaning crew was finished and they were so nice & accommodating . They allowed us to sit by the pool while we waited and to come inside if we needed the bathroom.The house was very clean (& I have high standards). I would 100% recommend this property to anyone and would love to stay here in the future!!

Fantastic host and house!

Wow! If this home is available and you’re looking for a beach vacation do not hesitate to book! It’s evident that the host has invested a lot of time updating the home and making guests feel comfortable. The 5 bedroom was plenty of space for our family. Great for groups. The pool and pool deck over looking the intercoastal was perfect.The home was crisp, clean and well equipped to accommodate all our needs!Loved that the pool was heated and the golf cart added to the charm! The golf cart makes going to beach a breeze and you basically get a beach side home without the cost. Thank you to the host for all your efforts and care you’ve invested in this home.

We absolutely LOVED this home! It had the perfect set-up for 11 of us on our annual family trip to IRB. The kitchen, bathrooms and other rooms were all well stocked with the essentials and more. The pool was a huge benefit since we had 2 families with young children and we loved just being together outside for meals, swimming and the fireplace at night. Our other favorite feature was the golf cart and bikes that are available...such a fun way to get around IRB. Kimberly from the management company was a true professional. She helped us above and beyond in so many ways! We had only one issue and that was with the pool cleaners who did not clean the pool as scheduled which caused us to lose a day in the pool...so we chose to go around town in the golf cart! Again, Kimberly was super helpful in navigating this with everyone involved. We will be back!

Relaxing 4 Day Get Away

This is an amazing property with so many amenities for our relaxing 4 day get away! With 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms it was perfect for our group. In addition the house has a great heated pool and everything everything we needed for the beach (beach wagon, chairs, beach towels, umbrellas and a golf cart). The property management company was very responsive, especially when someone backed into our golf cart parked down by the beach :(. Would definitely stay here again!
