AWESOME STAY

This is by far the best place I have EVER stayed in Florida. House is wonderful and large enough to have fun all in one room yet rooms for privacy. Easy access to beach, restaurants and can use amenities of the condos. Would highly recommend

Absolutely PERFECT!

We just left Playing Hookey today, and we all cannot get over how perfect this house was. It has ample space, is very clean, and the short walk to the beach was easy, even for the small kids in our group. We all want to stay in this house again next year!

The property was perfect for our family reunion. We had three families with 7children.

The property was clean and well maintained. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked and two full sized refrigerators were a plus. All the bedrooms are large and the beds are comfortable. The kids loved the pool and the short walk to the beach was not a problem. We had a great week.

Great Multi Generational Rental

This property was fantastic for our large family vacation. We had 7 adults and 8 children, but we never felt like we were on top of one another. The bedrooms were a great size and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, etc. There were several fridges which was great for extra groceries and drinks. It was an easy walk to the beach access. We had plenty of parking and so many options for dining and shopping were walkable. The private pool was very clean and a great ammenity. The owners were extremely responsive and communication was great. Thank you for a fantastic family vacation.

Very nice house and grounds. Access to the beach was good and the house itself suited us fine. The only thing I would change was the seating in the living area wasn't enough for our group.

Girlfriend Retreat

What a place! We had the best time. Everything about this property was fantastic. Beautiful, upscale decor with all the updated amenities. Plenty of space for everyone to relax, take walks, bike rides or just visit. The walk to the beach is very short, however, on the cloudy day we enjoyed the private heated pool! Plenty of restaurants and shopping are all close by. Great location.

Pictures tell it accurately, beautiful place, great vacation spot. Parking situation is better than expected, no one else parked in the ten or so spaces right next to the house besides us. Tons of space. Everything was just as advertised.

Gorgeous House and great location

Plenty of room for our group of 10. Pool was not as large as we thought, but worked out fine. Easy walk to the beach. Only complaint is for the money we paid, we had to purchase paper towels, toilet paper and there were only two kitchen towels for drying dishes.

Multigeneration family beach trip

The property was very nice. The location was excellent- south of 30a with no road to cross. This is important for our family with children. They supply beach chairs, umbrellas, and toys. Our middle school kids ride the large flamingo up and down the beach all week! The beds were awesome-so comfy! The pool with the little water fall was a good size and fun.

So far the best location we have stayed in the last 7 years.

The house is lovely and spacious. It is a little dated but overall nicely decorated. It would have been great if there was a full bath for each of the six bedrooms instead of only 4. The pool was great but we had to call about the pump on 3 occasions. There are beach items and a cart available for use which was great. Also, having bicycles was great.
