The property was great! We had all of our 9 kids plus a few spouses and our family dog. There was plenty of room for everyone and the kids loved the pool! The beach was an easy walk away but the golf cart made it even easier. Alex was extremely responsive and took care of any requests promptly. We highly recommend Sun-kissed!
Location is great, just a 5 minute walk to the beach as described. Pool was enjoyable. House had enough rooms and bathrooms for our group. We just had one issue - WiFi was not working. We communicated the issue to the management team but it was never resolved. However, it didn't matter much to us, but it would have been great if it were working as someone in our group had to work one of the days.
Very nice place. Lots of room, pool is big and temperature was great. We did have some issues but we’re fixed quickly. I would definitely come back to this home

Thank you, Renae! We're so glad the property was a great fit and that you had an amazing stay. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again soon!
The house was a great location, good size, and the pool was nice. The golf cart was also super convenient. However we did not know that the kids room/game room was inaccessible from the upstairs of the carriage house. Overall though, I would recommend staying there.

Had 18 people and plenty of space. Golf cart makes beach days alot easier. Pool gets afternoon shade which was nice. All in all a great place to stay and enjoy the beach.

Thank you! It was our pleasure to host you. We look forward to your next stay with us!
We had a group of 13 and the space was more than enough for us. Host response time for questions and requests were quick. House was clean with several beach towels for use. The only confusing part was identifying which amenities or descriptions were relevant to our rental versus their other properties. Location was about a 5 min walk to the beach.
