Relaxing Weekend at the Beach

I enjoyed my stay during the slow time of year when the gulf is still warm enough to swim in. Even though I was only on the island two days It was so relaxing it felt like a week. The pool was divine and I had it all to myself! The property was very nice and so close to the beach.

Cute coastal cottage

Our stay was a last minute stay for the Memorial Day weekend. Availability was sparse and this was one of the only properties that were left but we liked the decor and location. Upon arrival, we were pleased with everything and our only two complaints were that some kitchen items were missing - cookie sheet for frozen pizza - and the lack of lighting in the living room with no lamp on the end table. Not big issues but seemingly common sense. Also, my sister and her family rented a 3 bedroom, pool house right next to the beach for $2500/week and we spent $

Excellent Small Home steps from the BEACH!

We visit the island once a year and this time it was perfect! This home is barely minutes from the most beautiful beach! It has an amazing shared court yard area with a beautiful setup and pool. Everything was very clean and made our stay perfect. Our only downfall may of been the lack of any seasonings or salt/pepper. Most places we visit provide these or at the very least leave what previous visitors purchase. We don’t mind buying and leaving, but at the same time there really isn’t space to have a stock of extra items. The second thing is that you will need to be okay with living out of your bags as there’s no where to unpack. Overall perfect stay and will be back!

Great location, cute place

Super cute place! Beautiful tropical landscape, loved the interior and exterior designs. Very modern Design, loved the backyard and pool. Nice appliances, full size fridge and great water pressure. Two blocks and a short walk to the beach, such a good experience. The only negatives would be there is literally not a single place to store food or your suitcases. You need built in extra storage shelf in the living room, bed room and bathroom. All rooms need creative storage solutions really bad. Couch could use a cleaning and the mattresses are needing replacement or turning. Other than that, we loved the area! Very pretty place to stay! Crystal clear water!

Perfect for Couples Retreat

This quaint property is close to everything, shopping, BEACH, Sunsets, Pool, Parking, EVERYTHING! Inside is very well decorated, has everything you need, very clean, comfortable and is ready to go. The check-in process and communication are perfect, one of the best I have encountered thus far using any home rental. The price was great for a weeknight. I highly recommend for couples get-away. Not a lot of places to store your clothes, no drawers or closets, just a few hangers, but for a few days at the beach I HIGHLY recommend! Thank you for the property!

Spring break

My girls and I had a great stay. Location was perfect, check-in and check out was easy. The access to the pool was nice for a break from the ocean. Quick walk to the beach and to stores etc. The space was clean and decorated nicely. A little worn in spots, but expected for a rental space. The only negative was the lack of storage for clothes and food. Adding some shelves or door hangers with shelves would be helpful. I’m sure there could be creative ways to accommodate this. Overall, a great stay.

Weekend Getaway

The property is super cute. The kitchen is a bit overkill since there isn't a pantry, but we loved the vibe of the backyard grounds and pool along with the short walk to the beach. The washer & dryer in the unit were fabulous!

Great place, close to beach!

Had a wonderful time. Place is just like described. We also met some great people in the pool area during our stay. The only draw back is no storage for foldable clothes (they did have about a dozen hangers and a wall mount hook to hang things). It would be great if they replaced the night stands in the bedroom and the accent table in the family room with something that had drawers. Other than that the place is great!!

Great location to a beautiful wide white sand beach, really nice salt water pool. Deck was nice with plenty of areas to lounge. Room was clean and decorated really nice. Great place to totally relax. Would recommend for a couple looking for a quick getaway.

It was okay

The location was great! We had a difficult time getting in touch with the staff to help with toilet leak and potential hurricane questions. They never returned phone calls. We eventually called reservations to get in touch with someone that could help. There was also several bags of pillows/blankets that said Something along the lines of: Do not touch Contaminated. When the gentleman came to fix the toilet, he took all of the bags out of the room for us. Overall, it was a good experience given that we were so close to everything and barely home. The pool was also a little bit dirty. It needed treatment. Would have loved to have a checkout time at 4pm
