Great place. Loved the views. Loved having a home to come back to and just relax in where we could also spread out. Having the garage was a huge bonus. Loved the closeness to the Gulf. Went for multiple walks up and down the beach and watched multiple sunsets. Hoping I have a chance to stay here again.
One of the sunsets I enjoyed since it was so close to walk to.

Best views of the lagoon

The house is very spacious and has all the amenities that a family needs. It is a 5 min walk to the beach and has a great view of the water. You can even catch the sunset from the balcony. The communication with the host was great too.
