Perfect location and the view is stunning. We loved the daily beach service with chairs and umbrellas. The condo is just as pictured, everyone was comfortable and enjoyed their stay. Wedid have a couple minor issues, one with check-in and one with power, but once contact with the host was made everything was resolved

Perfect set up for us. So close to the beach and very easy back and forth from the condo to the beach. We have stayed at Green Reef several times and this was our favorite.

Thank you for your review it made me smile hearing this home was your favorite!! There is nothing like having the beach as your own backyard stepping off of your oversized beach deck onto the beach and the ease to scoot into the house for beach snacks or a bathroom break. We hope to see you return. Thank you for being our guests.

Thinking of you and hoping to see you return. You truly were a pleasure to have as our guests. People cannot understand how spoiling it is to walk out the back door onto your OWN beach!!! I am so spoiled it is hard to travel to other beaches! Keep in mind we fill up a year in advance if you are planning on returning in 2027. I look froward to having y’all back. Thank you!

This property was the perfect place for our family vacation that included 3 generations, aging from 19-84! The beach access was phenomenal and all the various items included made it so easy to live here for the week! Stocked kitchen, beach chairs, beach towels, etc.! We had a tropical storm while there and hung out on the covered lower deck area and enjoyed our time together while watching Mother Nature! Highly recommend booking this property!

Amazing place to stay! Private beach steps away from the deck. Great view of the beach and ocean. The kitchen was stocked with anything we needed, and there were plenty of towels, beach towels, and blankets - we didn't need anything but groceries for our week-long stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed this property. Our group of 8 had plenty of space both inside and out. Can’t beat being right on the beach. Couldn’t have asked for a better property manager. She responded to all questions and was one of the most responsive I have ever dealt with on VRBO. We will definitely be coming back in the future. Thank you so much for everything

We loved it so much that we've already booked for next year! You can't beat the location. With the private beach, we didn't have to worry about getting out to the beach at the crack of dawn to set up our tent. The rental comes with 4 chairs and 2 umbrellas that are set up each day. The grandkids could go back and forth to the unit without worrying about them. No parking issues since the unit comes with parking for 4 vehicles at the front door. No waiting on elevators. No crowds. The guest host is awesome and super responsive. We had an issue with the outdoor shower and she had someone there the next day to fix it.Highly recommend!

Thank you for your review. I am excited about your return. You were awesome guests. Many return year after year and consider our home “their beach home” it is quite spoiling having your own exclusive slice of sand that is all yours right out the back door. The ease makes it awesome to run in for the bathroom, to get beach snacks/drinks and more just like going out your back door onto your backyard accept it is the beach. Also being a property built closer to the water where many are not do to restrictions on homes built after this one is spoiling. See you next year! Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay with our family. The location is absolutely perfect. Beach front and the perfect location for walking or jogging in the mornings and evenings. Restaurants super close by. Grocery stores easy to get to! The kitchen is stocked really well. The owner provides a ton of extra chairs and enough beach towels that we didn’t even use ours. Beds were comfortable plenty of seating. The only one tiny negative would be that the fifth bedroom really is more like a large closet with a bed stuffed into it. My teenager is about 5’10” and had to sleep diagonally. It definitely was not a problem or something that made our stay any less desirable. It’s a great house, great location. Highly recommend!

Thank you for your review. You were fantastic guests and hope to see you return. We do explain on the fifth bedroom/sleeping cove that it is a custom bed. Good for small children or a short adult. I am glad that it worked out. There were 3 queen sleeper sofas as an alternative but it appears he found comfort. I am very petite and when I do not take the beachside master I go for the sleeping cove because the matress is very very comfy. Thank you again for your review. Input always helps.
