The location of this house was perfect. Only steps from pickleball, the lagoon/beach, and the community pool/hot tub. It was perfectly clean, comfortable beds and beautiful decor. We would definitely stay here again. No complaints.

Beautiful house on the beach! Great communication with managers!

This house is really nice. Loved the decor and feel. All bedrooms are on the second and third floor so i got a workout beater I was the only adult with kids staying on both floors. Comfy beds. Comfy couches. Pretty bathrooms. Loved that they had shampoo, conditioner, ands body wash. I would design my house like some of this house was done. Loved having the little pool out back. And I loved the hammock chair. And access to the lagoon was just amazing. So fun that they provide paddleboards. Getting to park in the garage was really nice! We had one major issue when the air conditioning stopped working on the second floor on our last night. But we were able to text management and they were very responsive. It was later at night so we tried a couple things but weren’t able to get it working. But it was nice to have someone to reach out to. And we had other beds upstairs to sleep on so out was nice that the space was so big. Had to drive a ways to get to groceries (10-15 minutes) but it was a neat area to walk/run in. Lots of growth and plans to expand ands add shops and restaurants. We had a hard time finding the front door but it’s through the garage. Just so you know! Oh and DO contact Nico and get salsa. Excellent service and excellent salsa! Thanks for a nice stay.

Our family loved the home. We loved having access to our own pool and being so close to the lagoon. It was great!
