Home away from home.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay even through the hurricane! Great location, clean, ease of communication with property manager. Only suggestion would be to stock a few more linens. But overall a fun time and will be returning!!

Matches the name of the house.

We were very impressed with everything. The cleanliness was spectacular. You know when they say you could eat off the floor. That is totally true here. Plus the house is fun, especially the outside. We really liked the layout as well. 8 minute ride to the beach.

Family Get Together

Listing is accurate! Nice, clean, spacious close to places we wanted to go to and see. Had a nice fire one night (purchased wood at Publix). Very roomy as we had 6 adults and a 2 year old. Only thing and I believe someone else mentioned it as well - could have more bath towels. We were only here for 3 nights and had to do some laundry.I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing time at the House of Fun!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful home, and I couldn't be more thrilled with my experience. The house is exactly as pictured, if not even more stunning in person. Impeccably clean, beautifully designed, and conveniently located, it truly exceeded my expectations. The host was incredibly kind and responsive, ensuring that every aspect of our stay was perfect. I have nothing but praise for this place - it's an absolute gem. Without a doubt, I will be returning for another stay, as my time here was nothing short of incredible. Thank you Taylor!
