We had a wonderful time and will book again. It’s just a short walk to the beach and was perfect for traveling with small children. There was an issue with a bathtub but someone came out promptly to fix it.

Our stay was great! The home was beautiful and very accommodating for our group of 4 families! If I had any suggestions it would be the pool area- the tile on the back porch gets very slippery and there is no ladder for the steps.

This house served our 3 families well. My husband is disabled due to a knee replacement and recent radiation treatments. This house had a bedroom and bathroom on the second floor along with the kitchen and living area. This prevented him from having to go up and down the stairs excessively. Even though we did eat out several times, we cooked a few meals in this home. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils, etc. The private pool proved to be a saving grace during our stay thanks to Bertha and the days of double red flags. There was plenty of parking for our three vehicles. The short walk to the beach without having to cross a busy street was nice as well. Would definitely consider staying in this home again!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear the layout of the home made your husband's stay more comfortable during his recovery and treatments. It's wonderful that the well-equipped kitchen, private pool, convenient parking, and easy beach access all helped make your family's vacation enjoyable—even with the weather challenges from Bertha and the double red flags. We truly appreciate you choosing our home for your family getaway, and it means a great deal to know you would consider staying with us again. We wish your husband continued healing and hope to welcome all of you back for another relaxing stay in the future!

Dying to Stay Again!

Our overall stay was amazing. We did experience a challenge but Emerald Coast resolved as promptly within their control. Only one block from the beach and two blocks from Gulf Place, this was an ideal quiet location.

Great house, pool and 2 min walk to beach!

Our family absolutely loved this home and location! You can’t beat the 2 minute walk to the beach (without having to cross 30A) with a large public beach access at the Spooky lane walk over. Gulf Place with great restaurants and shops that are within walking distance too! We loved getting ice cream at Pecan Jacks after eating at Shunk Gulley. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. The house is nicely updated, clean, well maintained and the kitchen is fully stocked. The living/dining/kitchen were very spacious for a large group. The master bedroom and bathroom were huge! There are also so many outdoor areas on the 2 balconies and patio for us to hang out. The private pool area is a huge plus. We had a lot of fun hanging out in the backyard swimming, playing corn hole and grilling. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and responsive. Overall, great stay! We will be back!
