This house was absolutely perfect for our family beach vacation. The beds and pull out couches were plentiful and comfy, lots of options for 3 families with kids 3-19. The walk to beach access was easy and the pool was a nice break from the salt water. Plenty of bathrooms & well-appointed kitchen, lots of parking & lots of porch choices for sitting outside to watch the rain, stars, and sunset. Would definitely recommend!

Perfection!

This is the perfect place for our family. It is within an easy walk to the beach. It is a spacious place - well kept, clean - has anything we might have needed. Of primary importance to us - with 3 young teenage grandchildren - is the private pool. It was wonderful!

Great property. The weather did not cooperate due to hurricane Debby, so it was especially nice to have the private pool.

Great place for a family reunion

The towels were plentiful, and rooms large with lots of space for us. There were a few minor items that could have used a little more attention. However the location and views from the top floor were amazing and we loved every moment there!

Awesome property!

The house was perfect for our family if 6 adults and 2 children. We loved decks on both sides of the house so there was always shade. Plenty of room to spread out and well equipped. Location was perfect for beach as well as easy access to restaurants by walking, bike or car. My family rated this as the best house we ever rented

Great vacation

The house was very clean and came with many basic kitchen provisions that were not provided at prior Vrbo locations we’ve stayed at. It has easy beach access. The house was recently updated and met all of our expectations. The kids and gkids loved the pool and the pool/beach toys that were provided.
