The house was wonderful. Fully equipped and right on the beach. We had a little trouble with the door at check-in and only 2 burners would work on the grill but other than that, it was great! Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Great for large families!!

The house and the location were perfect for our large family! There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and living spaces. The 2 refrigerators and 2 washers/dryers was a plus. The outdoor shower and foot wash were great when coming from the beach. The beach was within steps of the property which was great for coming and going to the house. I would highly recommend! Just be ware if coming on Jeep weekend, LOTS!!!!! of police presence which was fine except for the 2-hour check point to get to the house on Friday evening!

Day Dreamer

The size and location on the house were perfect for our family. Many memories were made. Our family included mother, siblings, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The second set of washer and dryer and 2 refrigerators was definitely appreciated. Would like to have had an elevator, especially for supplies. Beach was very private.

Perfect big family home.

Super spacious and amazing location to the beach. Loved the two refrigerators. Only recommendation I would have is to add a lift for luggage.

Beautiful Home

My family of 14 stayed at Daydreamer for 5 days and 4 nights. The house is beautiful and very spacious. The beds were comfortable and the. Bathrooms were clean. The patio was very nice and we were so close to the beach. Not much traffic on the beach, just a golf cart now and then. We loved DayDreamer!

Amazing house. Great location.

My family really enjoyed staying at this home. The location was amazing, the view from the back deck was breathtaking, and the house was spacious and nice. The beach was easily accessible and beautiful. Our group of 19 people were very comfortable throughout our stay. I was extra happy that there was plenty of table and chair space for meals. The house was very clean and I hope to visit there again. It was the perfect place for our family vacation.

Awesome

Our group was very happy with our stay! The house was awesome! Plenty of space for 6 families with a lot of kids. Kitchen has a complete set for cooking. They are very thoughtful for placing a baby gate by the stairs. It's a short walk to the beach. We love how the house have king and queen beds only. Will definitely come back and recommend to friends!

Family Trip July 2023

During our stay this property had an almost secluded beach on the weekdays. It became only slightly more active on the weekend days. The house met all our expectations. It was well furnished and had a well equipped kitchen. The deck overlooking the gulf was a consistent gathering place and had some shade at all times of the day while we were there. A cool breeze off the gulf made it very pleasant in the evenings. The only thing we regretted was not having a cargo lift on arrival and departure days.

Gnats all over the house, including inside the refrigerator and neither ice maker worked. The shower head in the King bathroom (with tub) is leaking. No problem for us, but may cause damage if not fixed.

Fun Vacation

Very well done property. Location is awesome and the views are outstanding. One or two minor things to add would be hooks in the bedrooms for clothes. An elevator lift, especially for bags, food and ice chest. Also if you have people that struggle with stairs. Note; the oven temperature is not accurate, runs about 40 degrees cooler than setting shows. And the dishwasher does not work very well. Out side gas grill center burner knob doesn’t work. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. Sharing to help tweak the little things to make an even better experience for the next family. Wonderful place. I would do it it again.

Great spot for family and friend beach fun!

This house had everything we could need and more for a great long weekend at the beach. Plenty of space to relax and have fun with friends and family. An easy walk to the beach, and a close drive to beach access through car if needed.
