The house was clean and beautiful with a well appointed kitchen. The A/C worked great, even the loft was nice and cool. Loved the open shared space (kitchen, dining, & family room. Everyone was a part of the fun. Beach/gulf view was unobstructed and the wooden deck seats were amazingly comfortable for beach watching. Comfy beds, sealed towels were a plus, and two refrigerators! The walkway to the beach was narrower than I'd prefer (our 2 year old couldn't walk beside me) and it was hard to find when returning from the beach... but it was built up and free from grasses so that was good. Would choose it again!

Great home

The house is great, 5 bedrooms including a bunk room for the children. House is located on the pedestrian beach, which is perfect for families who want to walk to the ocean. The house was well stocked with dishes, bring your own spices and paper goods. Overall a wonderful home and I would stay again.

Perfect home.

Very nice 4 bedroom home with a large loft with a king size bed and personal bathroom and deck. We loved this home. It was our first time getting a home on the ocean side right on the beach. It had a very relaxing and homie feel to it. It was perfect to us! I will say. If you’re not a morning person or just want to sleep in a little. Do not sleep in the loft. The all the windows and skylights will have you up at the butt crack of dawn! Lol.

Thanks for the review Johnathon - and we know what you mean about those early birds really loving the sun up there in the loft! We're so glad to hear that you had a great home-away-from-home experience - it's what we strive for with all of our guests. We'd love to see you back again!
