Relaxing
My family and I enjoyed our stay, the accommodations were awesome very quiet and relaxing. The beach was nearby and all supplies needed were at the home for use on our beach visit. We will definitely go back and for much longer stay.
The house was wonderful. The only issue we had was at the community club house security guard. My family was profiled and harassed Monday June 29th, by the security guard that was on duty. Other than that our stay was fabulous.

Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your experience, TImothy. We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the house and the community overall. However, we're truly sorry to learn about the incident at the community clubhouse. This is absolutely not the experience we want any of our guests to have.
We take your concerns very seriously and have already begun looking into the matter with the community management to ensure itβs addressed appropriately. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back under better circumstances in the future.
Great house! Close to everything. Very clean and everything was great quality.

Hi Debbie, thanks so much for staying with us. We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the home and its convenient location. It's great to know the Shuffle Board table was a hit too! We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
Beautiful house, great location 3 to 4 blocks from beach although we golfed most of the trip so did not get much beach time. We had so much room at a reasonable price. Just a note to future guests, the kitchen was pretty well equipped, but make sure you bring baggies, foil, dish soap etc, they did have salt pepper and coffee filters, but that was the extent Of the paper products.
