Great house with incredible views~

We spent Friendsgiving here and loved the views and projector for a cozy weekend in. The trail to the beach near to the house was STUNNING. Highly recommend going if you stay here and the weather is nice.

Great thanksgiving trip with family

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a great house for our multigenerational family to share thanksgiving break. We spent the week cooking, playing games, hiking and beaching. The house was perfect in size with space to gather and enough room to space out too. The kitchen was well equipt to handle large meals. Kids loved the garage full of air hockey, pool table and the video games. Views were amazing and we loved sunset walks and watching all the wildlife. Great vacation spot - we will treasure our memories here.

Great house

It was great, the only down fall was the patio couldn’t sit out because of the birds and bird mess, but that was ok because of the area. We still had a great time

Great Family Vacation

I stayed here with 11 other family members and this house was perfect for us. The community is still pretty private so it was a nice getaway for us. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone asking for a nice relaxing getaway that was perfect for my big family.

Wonderful Time!

We stayed at this lovely home over Thanksgiving week. It was the perfect floor plan for 5 adults and 3 kids. The views were beautiful, the house was equipped with everything we needed for a “stay-cation”, and the area offered us nice walks, wildlife, and easy ocean access. We would stay at this home again!
