Perfect home base for our annual family scalloping trip. Lots of room to play, relax and soak in the beautiful views. It is well-appointed and has easy access to fishing and scalloping in the Gulf!

Party House not a Vacation Home

Nothing really good to say about the house experience so I will leave it at that. We did have fun outside the home eating and hanging out with the locals.

Great house in a great spot

Terrific property exactly as represented, the host was communicative and proactive. The house was clean, everything worked as it should, and I suspect much larger than the square footage indicated in the listing. The rooms were huge, and there were a lot of them. When I booked the property, it was a fresh listing without any reviews. Between our booking and our stay, it received one negative review. During our week at the house, I could not imagine what that previous guest was complaining about. It is really a great house that you can book with confidence.

The check in process was easy and the property manager even had our groceries put in the fridge for us when weather delayed our arrival. The kitchen is fully stocked for all your cooking needs and the laundry is conveniently located off the kitchen. Wifi was great and the TVs were incredible for movie night! The property is in an excellent location that is quiet and peaceful but close enough to all of the fun. The pool and all the amenities were wonderful. We caught plenty of fish, had a daily visit from a blue heron, and even saw blue crabs and dolphins, just sitting on the porch. I do warn that the spiral stair case is not easily navigated by older/younger people so be cautious if you have special needs with stairs. On the way home, I realized that I left my engagement ring and wedding set behind. As soon as I contacted the property, they had the cleaners check and found them both! Thank you for the great stay and sending the rings for me.
