Peaceful Rejuvenation
We had a great experience and thoroughly enjoyed the property. The location and proximity to the beach was priceless and the private pool was perfect for when we didn't feel like dealing with other people or the sand. The property was clean and extremely comfortable.

Location is impossible to beat!!
The house was cozy and very cute! The pool was also very nice. The location was fantastic! The beach is so beautiful and you could walk for miles without running into large crowds no matter what time of the day you went. The sunsets were stunning!

Awesome location
We really enjoyed our stay here. The location to the beautiful beach can’t be beat. The pool is small but was perfect for us. The temp was perfect to swim even in the evening. The house was very cute and was well equipped. A couple things to note were the weird air conditioners in two of the rooms. They are not shown on the pictures. They sat on the floor and had a wide hose to the window. So the blinds couldn’t be shut and my husband had to crawl onto the bed from the bottom because the hose was in the way on the side of the bed. It seemed the house needed them because the house’s cooling system had trouble keeping it cool. It was not a big deal but we felt like it should be noted. We had some trouble with the code to the house not always working but the maintenance team was quick to respond and get it taken care of. Their communication was great. Overall we would stay here again. Walking out to the beach right from the house trumped all the little quirks.

Girl’s vacation
Several of my friends came with me again this year for our annual girl’s trip. The house was wonderful and so close to the beach. We all loved it. Thanks again for such a wonderful trip.

So close to the beach
This house is so close to the beach! What a bang for our buck... We didn't need a super big house this year since it was just our family and I am very happy with our choice. It is nicely appointed on the inside and great outdoor spaces as well, but we have never stayed in a house this close to the beach! Loaded up the beach chairs and towels in the wagon (all came with the house) and 2 minutes later we were laying on the beach enjoying the therapeutic Florida sunshine... just great! Already booked it again for Summer and the entire family can't wait!
