This is a beautiful home and suited our needs perfectly! It is very spacious and in a nice location! Would recommend especially if you have a group of 6-8. The host was always responsive and very pleasant to communicate with.
Tonia is an excellent host . The house was well stocked in the kitchen and laundry . Tonia is a good communicator and replied promptly to our questions. The property is within walking distance of Craig park where one can see manatees . It is also within walking distance to the docks and downtown.
Tonia was very easy and pleasant to work with and the house was beautifully done and very well equipped. There were also extra touches that you don’t always see in rentals. Coffee supplies, shower supplies, even a bicycle to use! The bonus room is a great extra living space, as well. I would highly recommend this rental for families!
Property was as advertised. Great location to walk almost anywhere for any if the tourist activities. Communication with the host was a 10/10. I highly recommend this property to fanilies, for a girls or guys trip.

Thank you so much! I hope you can come back again. We appreciate you leaving our home so clean!
We had a wonderful stay. Close to downtown and Rodie’s restaurant, our favorite breakfast location. The communication was great with the property manager and she was great about answering quickly with any questions. There was plenty of room. Also if you are staying with small children, there are lots of baby supplies such as a highchair, etc. we will be staying again when we come to FL.

Thank you so much!! We appreciate all that you did to leave our home in such great condition. We would welcome you and your family back any time!
House was spacious and clean. Loved the waterfall shower and king bed. The host was wonderful and went above and beyond answering questions. Can't go wrong here!
Tonia was very accommodating. The house is well stocked with supplies. We were able to grill for the 4th of July and see all the fireworks on the lake from the end of the street.
I highly recommend this property it was clean and the owners were very accommodating. There were nine of us and the house was more than large enough for us all. Thank you so much for everything.

Excellent guests- you would not have known there were 9 people staying at our home. Thank you for the care you took while staying, and leaving everything clean and tidy! Would love to host you anytime!
House was Very Clean. It was my first time staying at a rental house and was extremely happy with all of the amenities in the house. We hosted a dinner for my Aunts 90th birthday and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Location was perfect. Close to parks/ beaches and the sponge docks.

Thank you! I’m so glad it worked for you. We would love for you to come back any time. Thank you for leaving everything so nice and also starting the dishwasher. We appreciate you!
Home was very clean and spacious. Every basic item was provided and the host was very responsive and helpful. Only issue was a minor one with check-in but that was on VRBO sending check-in info to the wrong guest so I had to ask for check-in info. House is a short distance to Sunset Beach and grocery stores and restaurants. If your vehicle is larger, maneuvering the curvy driveway is a little bit of a challenge but do-able. Would definitely choose this home if ever staying in the area again.

Thank you, Sharon. We would love to host you and your family again, anytime. We appreciate how you left the house so tidy!
This is the best VRBO we have ever stayed in! Tonia has thought of everything! And I mean EVERYTHING! It’s clean, amazingly organized, well stocked with extra things like toilet paper , trash bags, and paper towel! It is SO much bigger than it looks on the VRBO app!! It also came with two bikes! We had fun riding into town and exploring!Tonia was also extremely quick and easy to communicate with throughout our visit!
