It sounds like the place was just right for both your human and dog family Matthew! I'm glad everything was as advertised, making for a comfortable stay for everyone.
Everything was as described, grandkids enjoyed the pool, easy access to beach, shopping, restaurants. Very clean and well equipped even had koozies and sunglasses from Avant! Too bad we lost one day due to the tropical storm 😕

Thank you for the review, acffbstx! We're glad you and your grandkids enjoyed the pool and the convenient location to the beach, shopping, and restaurants. We’re sorry to hear about the tropical storm affecting your stay, but we hope the rest of your time was relaxing and enjoyable! Looking forward to hosting you again!
This was by far one of the best vacation rentals. It was fully stocked with everything you need. The location was great. We had a problem with the tv in the living room and someone showed up in less than an hour to fix it. Turned out the remote needed new batteries. Communication was excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
