This was our first experience renting in Florida and we were blown away! We were a family with 2 small children and The house itself made for a fantastic home away from home that felt very lavish. We were a block away from the beach and had a great pool area so you could easily spend time at the beach or pool without having to commit to one or the other completely. Definitely would recommend this rental to friends and family alike!

The pool was great with the hot tub attached. The walk to the beach leaving out the backyard was convenient. Good open space on the main floor.

Xmas Vacation

The house is gorgeous and as advertised. An added plus is we were able to whale watch from the house! Cons: Arriving at night, it was very difficult to find the house. We mainly used the heated spa but the pump kept going out. Jamie was very good at coming over to fix it.

We had a truly wonderful stay. From the moment we arrived, the hosts made us feel incredibly welcome and cared for. Their attention to detail was evident right away with a thoughtful welcome gift, and on the night of January 31st they even surprised us with something special to help us celebrate, which made our experience feel extra memorable.The house itself is absolutely fabulous, beautiful, comfortable, and extremely functional for a family with adult children. The amenities were fantastic: the pool and the jacuzzi were both amazing and added so much to our enjoyment. The location is also ideal, with great closeness to the beach, restaurants and supermarket.If we were being extremely critical, the only very minor suggestion would be that the grill could be upgraded to better match the level of the home, as it wasn’t in the best condition. That said, this is truly a tiny detail in an otherwise exceptional experience.Overall, this was a five-star-plus stay, and we would happily return and recommend this home without hesitation.

Amazing Vacation!

This house is AMAZING! So big, spacious, beautiful, and peaceful! The pool/spa was the BEST! Great for cooling off after our short walk from the beach. Loved all the layers to it, and my granddaughter wanted to stay in it most of the time! We loved the access to both garages. We brought kayaks and paddleboards from home, and it was great to just be able to pull into the garage each night for security. Many people have left items to enjoy at the beach and pool. They also left items in the sharable pantry, which much appreciated. I also love that we were allowed to leave anything that we did not need/want in the refrigerator so that it was not a waste. In our morning rush to leave, we forgot some personal items. I contacted them and they assured me they would ask the cleaning crew. We really thought those items were lost forever, but to our surprise a few weeks later they were located and rejoined our family! So nice that they cared that much to make sure we got those items back. Overall, we had a great stay and would certainly love to vacation in this beautiful home again in the future!
