Fantastic beach stay
We gathered for our annual President’s Day family beach trip. Everything was absolutely fantastic with positive comments from everyone who attended. The place was very clean, stylish, spacious, well-appointed, and in a great location. The hosts were friendly and attentive. Looking forward to staying next year!

Our group was very happy with our stay! The house was awesome! Plenty of space for 6 families with a lot of kids. Kitchen has a complete set for cooking. They are very thoughtful for placing a baby gate by the stairs. It's a short walk to the beach. We love how the house have king and queen beds only. Will definitely come back and recommend to friends!

Amazing house. Great location.
My family really enjoyed staying at this home. The location was amazing, the view from the back deck was breathtaking, and the house was spacious and nice. The beach was easily accessible and beautiful. Our group of 19 people were very comfortable throughout our stay. I was extra happy that there was plenty of table and chair space for meals. The house was very clean and I hope to visit there again. It was the perfect place for our family vacation.

Best Christmas Ever
We were able to enjoy this big beautiful beach house with family and friends on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. It had plenty of space for everyone to move around in the kitchen and plenty of space for everyone to sleep and plenty of space for everyone to have restroom access and plenty of space for everyone to play games. This is one of the best beach houses we ever stayed in. It is a true 7 bedroom 4 bathroom house!

Great house for families
Perfect vacation spot for several families! We had a group with age ranges from 6 months to 76, plus two dogs. It was a great house - very clean, quiet and secluded part of the beach, great beach access, lots of seating and beds, loved the two washer/dryers and two fridges. The deck was amazing. No complaints, and we’d be happy to stay again. Of note - one of the queen bedrooms upstairs is more public - you have to walk through it to get access to either of the other two queen bedrooms up there.

Family Trip July 2023
During our stay this property had an almost secluded beach on the weekdays. It became only slightly more active on the weekend days. The house met all our expectations. It was well furnished and had a well equipped kitchen. The deck overlooking the gulf was a consistent gathering place and had some shade at all times of the day while we were there. A cool breeze off the gulf made it very pleasant in the evenings. The only thing we regretted was not having a cargo lift on arrival and departure days.

Wonderful Stay With Large Family
The property was great! There was plenty of room for our 16 person group! 2 living areas, plenty of tables and chairs inside ans out, 2 washers and dryers and 2 fridges!! Showers all worked well, kitchen was well equipped for cooking for many, it even had a few beach chairs, boogie boards, and sand toys for guests to use. There was a short, easy to use path to the beach. Note that one bedroom is a loft upstaits so is not private. The only negative was that the refrigerators appear to be turned off between uses and took about a day to get back up to full temperature. We would definitely book again!

Gnats all over the house, including inside the refrigerator and neither ice maker worked. The shower head in the King bathroom (with tub) is leaking. No problem for us, but may cause damage if not fixed.

Fun Vacation
Very well done property. Location is awesome and the views are outstanding. One or two minor things to add would be hooks in the bedrooms for clothes. An elevator lift, especially for bags, food and ice chest. Also if you have people that struggle with stairs. Note; the oven temperature is not accurate, runs about 40 degrees cooler than setting shows. And the dishwasher does not work very well. Out side gas grill center burner knob doesn’t work. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. Sharing to help tweak the little things to make an even better experience for the next family. Wonderful place. I would do it it again.

Cousin Reunion
This house is a beautiful property on a quiet end of the beach. We arrived a tad early, and the manager came over to greet us. He was friendly and offered to be available for any questions or needs we had throughout the weekend. The house was decorated beautifully, and was clean. We have stayed in houses that required us to pay a cleaning fee, and then practically clean the entire house ourselves before we left. That doesn't feel like a vacation. I appreciated this house had a very basic and generous cleaning policy. Two refrigerators made mealtime nice for our large family. We brought groceries and shared meal prep, and the kitchen was well stocked with knives, pots & pans, bowls, etc. There was plenty of parking under the house and in the driveway, and there was a golf cart path through the dunes that led from the house to the beach. We could easily walk the path, but the sand was a little too thick and loose for our carts to make it easily. Other than that, we had an amazing stay. We definitely will be choosing this house again!
