Kim was such an amazing host from start to finish! The home was beautiful, clean, well stocked with supplies needed to make the stay comfortable, and perfectly located by the beach! I promise you, you will not regret staying here!
This is the best place to stay. If you have a family it accommodates 10 people maybe more very clean air conditioning is the best the kitchen is fully loaded for all my family needs. I will definitely recommend this to anyone and I will be back next year.
We definitely recommend staying at this beach retreat townhome. It’s very spacious, clean, kitchen is well stocked with dishes, and the best part was the short walk to the beach. The host was very responsive to my questions and accommodated an early check in for our family. We all felt at home during our stay and had no issues at all. Overall we loved our stay here and enjoyed going to the beach every day 😊.

Fernanda and her group were great guests and left our Coastal Castaway clean and tidy. Great communication. We recommend her and would love for them to visit us again!
Great location! Plenty of room with all of the necessities!
We loved the location of the property! Even though it was across the street, it was very close to the beach and away from the crowded area of PCB. The townhouse was immaculate! Very clean, decorated nicely and had all of the kitchen necessities as well as extra beach chairs if needed. The owners communicated and answered questions immediately. They were very accommodating to a special circumstance that arose. We will be sure to recommend to our friends/family and hopefully will be able to return for another stay!
