This was a fantastic rental home. It was clean and well stocked. It was great as a jumping off point for a day trip or just hanging around the house. It had 5 kayaks and 2 paddle boards to explore the canals. It had so many fun games in the basement area to keep my older kids entertained. We will be back!

I have never seen a house that had so many amenities that catered to every age. Fur babies are not left out on this one pretty much everything you would need for them also. The houses has a clean smell and is well maintained. In side has a beach vibes with colors that are relaxing and enjoyable. The water was calm and refreshing. I would definitely rent this house again, it is worth every dollar. 100% recommended 5 stars

Everything about this beach house was wonderful! It is all that is pictured and more! Very clean and well thought out. Has everything you could need. All of the amenities were a huge plus. Kimberlee made us feel at home with all welcoming messages and it was so welcoming to our dog as well. Had everything he would need also- dog bed and blankets, bowls, toys etc. We will absolutely be returning!! One of the most relaxing enjoyable family vacations ever! Thank you!!
Our dog loved the back yard!

The host was amazing and the number of amenities at the home was a huge plus. They thought of everything from fishing poles, to towels ready to go next to the hot tub, to coffee maker essentials, and to my surprise even a hair dryer with a diffuser for the curly girls! They are open to feed back on improvement and kind and attentive to your messages. Can't say enough good things
