Close to Beach

The house is close to a beach that is less crowded than the beaches in town. Always found a nice spot on the beach with plenty of room. The house has a good assortment of beach chairs and toys with a large wagon to haul all your stuff to the beach. Check-in was easy and straightforward.

My family and another family stayed here, and the property and location was great. The house was clean and had plenty of room. I wish we would have known about all of the beach items that were available at the house (sun canopy, chairs, wagons, containers for building sand castles). We brought our own items, but we’ll know for next time. We would definitely rent this house again.

Great Beach Vacation - We'll be back!

We had a wonderful getaway for Mother’s Day with our extended family. The house was spacious and well maintained. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of places for the family to hang out. The secret little child room was a huge hit with the kids.

Beach time

Pirates beach is a great spot. Clean semi private not crazy crowded. The house was great,fully loaded for all your needs clean and comfortable. Only 2 suggestions a roll up sunscreen on the east side for the patio so you don’t need sunglasses to have your morning coffee and a real coffee pot not a keurig Really enjoyed the place and we will stay there again.

Spring Break 2023

This home and property was perfect for our family of 9. Space for everyone to play, eat, lounge, and find alone time. The kids LOVED the bunk room! I especially loved the upstairs deck to have morning coffee and view the Gulf waves rolling in. There is an abundance of beach toys, chairs, rugs, boogie boards, carts to haul them, and more that made walking to the beach so easy. Thank you!!!!

Family vacation

Everything was great, but the luggage elevator needs to be fixed and the wood on the patio needs to be replaced. It's old and splintery. We had 2 people get splinters in their feet.

We never mentioned the elevator in the description of the house. It has not worked in many years and replacement is not in the budget. The patio wood is being replaced this week.

Well stocked and comfortable home.

This house had many items that made it comfortable to enjoy time at the home. For example, there is plenty of cook wear, glasses, cups, and cooking utensils. I appreciate that the owner provided spices too. The living room has a smart tv so we were able to see movies on our phones using airplay. The garage had plenty of chairs and other items for the beach and a washer and dryer. My family enjoyed our stay and we would stay here again in the future.

Would definitely visit again

We took a short family vacation here with 7 adults and 7 kids. The home was plenty big enough for everyone. There were tons of beach toys for the kids. They owner was very easy to get a hold of when any issues did occur. The place was very clean I only gave 4 stars on how clean it was because the couch was pretty dirty in the slits but everything else was really clean. It’s super close walk to the beach and a beautiful quiet neighborhood, very relaxing! Also the beds were super comfortable and the place stayed really cool even with how hot it would get during the day.

Family Fourth

Our party consisted of 6 adults, 4 kids & 1 infant. Highly recommend this pridtine property as it has ample beds, an outdoor shower as well as all the necessities for a day at the beach (a 3 block walk) - beach towels, chairs, canopy/tent, sand toys and the most wonderful Gorilla Carts (2) to transport everything. The only critique I have is lack of kitchen counterspace. There was a grill but we didn't need to use it. The host, Marta, responded timely to my inquiries/messages. Overall a win-win experience!

Wonderful stay

Highlights- the garage beach stuff!! Wish we had known the house had a pop up canopy, we wouldn’t have lugged ours down. The linens were so nice! Super comfortable. The king mattress has seen better days. The kitchen had blender, keurig and toaster. All great amenities. There was no foil, Saran and such and bring your own spices. Basic dishes,cups, utensils all included. The covered deck with table and comfy chairs were used all of the time!! There is a secret small room upstairs that the grandsons absolutely loved! No one slept there though. Pack and play was a great addition! Lastly although we didn’t use the bunk room downstairs, would be perfect for older kids! The full bath downstairs was great to have!! Thank you Marta!!

They had 2 large carts, towels for the beach, chairs, toys, volleyball net and all kinds of other things to do! The house was clean, comfortable and very spacious. It was a short walk down to the beach, although we brought our bicycles and golf cart. The neighborhood was very nice and everyone was friendly!
