Wonderful town home on the beach- only critique would be providing a little more trash bags/ toilet paper for a large busy family.Bedding was amazing and comfortable. Everything was clean, kitchen fully stocked with appliances and dishes. Beautiful location- 2 minute walk to white sands and dolphins in the ocean. We would absolutely stay again.

The home was beautiful, plenty of room for the eight of us and well maintained. The location access to the beach was great and we enjoyed the pool. Beach gear was a plus since we couldn’t bring our own with us.

I am not one to normally leave reviews, but I wanted to in this instance because this property was a 10 out of 10. Such a nice, clean and roomy townhome. This place literally has everything you need and then some. What I was most impressed with was the beach accessory closet. I can’t think of anything that we needed or desired that wasn’t available. Also, the air conditioner worked really really well which is always a concern for me. I strongly recommend this place and we will very likely be back at South Bay number 78 again.

Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear you thought the townhome was a 10 out of 10 and that you had everything you needed (and more!) for a great stay. We’re especially glad you enjoyed the beach accessory closet and that the AC kept you nice and cool—that’s always a big deal in the summer! We’d love to welcome you and your family back anytime at South Bay 78. Thanks again for the kind words and recommendation!
