First, thank you both for taking time to write a such a beautiful review. It means more to me than you know.
Having you here was a true blessing. You were not just perfect guests—you became dear friends. Both of you are beautiful people inside and out. From the care you showed the property to the wonderful meals you shared, every moment of your stay was a joy.
You took shells home, but you left behind memories—and a friend for life. You will always be welcome, and I already miss you both. Cheryl
We enjoyed staying at this property for the week! It was clean and very well stocked! It was an easy walk to the beach! Ms. Cheryl was very nice to us during our stay! We highly recommend!

You and yours are a delightful family and we feel the same. Looking forward to next time.
Well stocked kitchen and clean property with beautiful decor. Loved the throw blankets in every room. Location was perfect and dead end street was a bonus with no traffic. Proximity to quiet beach was great. Absolutely loved the large beach cart and outdoor shower!
We very much enjoyed our stay here. We looked at several different places before deciding on this one. It was very clean, very nice, a short walk to beach and it didn't break the bank. I would book this again in a heartbeat!

The property is clean, tidy, has everything we needed to beach, cook, relax, and wash up. The breeze under the deck was exactly as wished for and there was comfort to each bedroom. Love the nice outside large shower area.Easy beach access.

Thank you so much, Becky, for your generous description of our rental. I’m so glad your return to the beach after a 3-year break was a great one. It’s wonderful to hear the house had everything you needed—from cooking and relaxing to enjoying the breeze under the deck. We’re especially happy you enjoyed the outdoor shower. It’s a big hit with families who have children because they can get them all in there.😀 The beach has just been revitalized after “Hurricane Michale,” and it is spectacular.
You are a lovely family—perfect guests and great stewards of our property. Thank you for treating the home with such care and respect. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back anytime!
Cheryl
Our stay here was nothing short of amazing! The home was in a great location, incredibly clean, and was stocked with everything needed to make your stay easy and relaxing. Getting to meet Mrs. Cheryl was great as well! She is so sweet and very responsive! So glad you enjoyed dinner Cheryl and we hope to be back to stay again soon!!

We couldn’t have asked for better guests! You treated our property with the utmost care and respect, leaving everything exactly as you found it. So clean! You blessed us, just when we needed it, with an incredible country-style meal, complete with delicious, classic favorites. It was truly thoughtful and gracious. We have met amazing people and made new friends. We would love to welcome you back!

Super cute house & really beautiful landscaping. Kitchen is fully stocked with all the utensils you could think of. We really enjoyed our stay & the owner is super sweet!

Thank you so very much. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
This property was exactly as described. A deserted beach for the perfect private vacation.The extra little touches of home from Cheryl was unexpected, but a pleasant surprise. The outdoor shower was excellent for a nice refreshing rinse from the hot sun of the beach. Private enough for a full shower.The fully stocked kitchen of dishes and cookware made meals quick and easy.The beach cart was nice for hauling and the beach accessories were a nice touch though not expected.We loved it and will definitely be back!
Clean, comfortable, with a well-supplied kitchen, and lots of towels. Quick and easy walk to the beach with wagon and toys on site. The patio space and outdoor shower were great! Our hosts were personable and quick to respond to a request. We will definitely stay here again!
Absolutely great place to stay! Super clean and host Cheryl goes above and beyond with everything you need to have a fantastic vacation! Super short little walk to the beach, which was ideal. Very quiet side street away from the traffic. definitely would recommend and we absolutely will be back. Bill and Cheryl are absolutely amazing.
This was a lovely house…clean, quiet, homey, a short walk from the beach, with extremely comfortable beds. The kitchen is well appointed for cooking your own meals. And Cheryl is an attentive and gracious host. We will be back!
Very peaceful and quiet, beach was close and not crowded, condo was great and had everything we needed, beds where comfy, definitely nothing to complain about.

I very much appreciated these guests. They were wonderful stewards of the property and left everything neat and clean, even washing and folding laundry. I was very pleased they enjoyed Gullreef and hope to have them stay again.
Happy trails,
Cheryl
We had a wonderful stay! We truly had “no hurry and no stress” staying here. The house was very clean and comfortable, and we felt very safe in the neighborhood. The walk to the beach is very easy, and the beach cart made transporting everything we needed to take so much easier! The owners were so nice, and I would absolutely stay here again!
