Great property. Loved the private pool and being close to the beach. Plenty of room for all of our family. We also had small children from 2 up and they had a great time!

Thank you for staying with us! We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the property and your time at the beach. We hope to see you again soon.
Had a wonderful time after we finally worked out problems with checking in. 20 minutes late checking in because they weren’t finished cleaning the house then several wasps around the house. Our granddaughter was stung. Called and they immediately came and sprayed. We had to spray again two other times. Pool was full of sand. They didn’t clean it until Friday. Besides those few problems it was fantastic!!

Just steps from the beach or a great locals bar, the recently renovated house was perfect for our spring break. Heated pool was a bonus!

House Great; Outdoor Space Not so Great
Really enjoyed the house. Nice bedrooms with TV's. Very spacious and clean. This would be great for young people who don't mind stairs. Parking is an issue, as there really aren't enough places to park. My car got infested with ants in the sandy parking area. I am bug phobic, so the outdoor space didn't work for me. The pool chairs were covered with spider webs. At night, the large cockroaches were crawling all over and down to the edge of the pool. It was awful and possibly out of the control of the management or owners. This is just a moist area with lots of trees and bushes that lends itself to the accumulation of bugs. After seeing big bugs outside at night, I was unable to enjoy night activities outside. Walk to the Red Bar and the beach - easy. Nice stay other than the pests. If you don't mind bugs outside, you would be very comfortable here. Lots of room to spread out and relax. Very clean beaches. Lots of dolphin sightings.

Spring Break 2017
We had a great time. Very convenient to the beach and to Red Bar. We closed down the bar every night! Lots of fun. The hose was a bit difficult to find because it is tucked back on a sand road. They show the pool view because the front of the house is nothing to see. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen has all the pans and appliances you need to cook any meal. We even used the charcoal grill one night. I would recommend this place for a large family that needs the space and doesn't need something really nice. Laid back is just what the name describes. Laid back.

Little disappointed
We were expecting a beach view and there wasn't. Part of house had some updates others needed TLC. Loved size and convenience

the PERFECT family beach home
Not only was this the perfect home for our huge family, but the management company was also a pleasure to work with. They ensured we had everything we needed during our stay and referred us to great companies for kayak rentals, beach fires and bikes. They were so accommodating we couldn't have been more satisfied with the service. Thank you to the owners of this beautiful home for letting us stay. We can't wait to return.
