You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Screened in Porch 5 BR/4.5 Bath - sleeps 14-18 w/Beach Gear, Kayak, Cargo Lift

Sleeps 14 in all beds and sleeper sofa. Can sleep additional 4 people if you want to use the 2 new twin mattresses and 2 blow up beds placed in any open space. But wait - there's more! Can sleep 2 littles in the 2 pack and plays for a total of 20. Fun spacious beach house with a screened-in porch in a no-flood zone-- one that offers stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico's soul-soothing waves. Big plus for this location is it is still accessible when most flooding occurs on the west end! A rare feature on gulf side homes is a screened-in section of the 1700 sq ft wraparound deck which spans the length of the house and features plenty of outdoor lounging and dining area. Well-designed floor plan offers a homey feel to this pet-friendly vacation house with 3200 sq ft of living space. Perfect for large groups as there is plenty of space to spread out and enjoy together or separate time.

Just inside the front door you have easy access to a TV den which includes Dish Network and a DVD player, guest half bath, and laundry room with large capacity HE W/D with utility sink.

Great house for a family vacation
The house was located on the beach with a beautiful view of the gulf. It was well stocked and offered most things we would ever need. There is a second bath located in the 1st floor master that allowed our family a 4th bath. We appreciated the children’s dishes, multiple pack and plays and toys for the younger children.

The porch
Spacious for our family to have their own space. Kitchen was big enough for all to roam around in. Now the back porch was the high light of our stay. Nice breeze coming through screens with no bugs to bother us. The kids played under the house in the sand when they had enough beach heat. Overall a very wonderful place with all we needed

Perfect for Family Thanksgiving
We had 7 adults and 9 kids (ages 1-7) and met here for the week of Thanksgiving. It accommodated us very comfortably and had everything we needed (and more!) for meals, going to the beach, grilling, and hanging out. The location is great, the house is just as described, the setting is beautiful, and the host was very helpful. We will be keeping this place in mind next time our families from Texas, Alabama, and Georgia are looking to get together.
