Early Spring Break Trip

Overall our stay was excellent! We had lots of fun at the beach and pool. Weather was a little rough when we arrived. Gulf of American was closed due to weather. But had some really nice days overall. The BBQ grill is on its las leg and takes a long time to BBQ steaks. The house is very clean and spacious. The house came with two beach chairs and umbrella but felt that for a home that can sleep 20 should have a few more available with the rental. We will for sure be back and we had an awesome time!

Great location

We enjoyed the stay, especially the proximity to the beach. We were able to let our kids run free and still see them from the deck. The house is older and could use and updating. There is no pantry, which was a huge issue for grocery storage. Overall, we enjoyed the location the best!

Family birthday celebration

The property is top notch. The neighborhood, the location, the house itself is perfect. The home is well appointed, and doesn’t have a bad bedroom or setup anywhere. All the rooms are very spacious and comfortable. There is even two refrigerators, plus an ice maker, which was wonderful! Plenty of chairs around the pool, and everyone enjoyed the porch swing. The only complaint I have is the house needs a good deep cleaning. If you move furniture or appliances, underneath is filthy. And there is an obvious rodent problem that the owners/realtor needs to address. Had to have maintenance come remove a dead rat, that got stuck, it was so big. trying to come out through the fireplace, and a sealed bag of nuts, that was left out, was completely chewed into and eaten.

Awesome experience, right on beach...

Big beach house, 6 rooms and plenty of extra space. Swimming pool on beach side ... ocean view while in pool. Many other properties advertise they are beach house with ocean view, but they're not actually ON the beach ... however, this beach house IS smack on the sandy beach ... love having morning coffee while looking at the sunrise over the ocean and sand. Great place .... you will love.

Storks nest

Property was beautiful! Paying to have the pool heated was well worth it. The kids spent a lot of time in it since the ocean was still a little cold. We had 17 people and didnt feel cramped at all. Only complaints were that the windows were missing the cranks to open them and the sliding doors to the porches were hard to open. The property could use a toaster. We were given plenty of towels, but not nearly enough washcloths. Was a fantastic vacation and we would definitely book this property again!

Beach front with pool

The only thing that kept my review from 5 stars was due to a maintenance man randomly showing up (not blaming the actual maintenance man) luckily our baby was awake so his knocking didn’t completely disturb us but it’s annoying to be paying for a private home for just a few short days and they couldn’t manage to schedule the maintenance work to be done after we checked out?? The house itself was very nice and we stayed in the heated pool almost the whole time. Also none of the doors from the bedrooms opened up to the balconies aside from one. The beds are extremely uncomfortable and I suggest maybe bringing your own pillow to make sleeping more comfortable. We had a fabulous vacation and would consider staying here again. We also appreciated a high chair being there since we had a little one.

Perfect beach house

Four adults and four children stayed 1 week in Dec 2018. There was plenty of space indoors for everyone. The heated pool was used nearly every day. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed. Groceries weren’t too far away. We brought beach towels as recommended. The beach is clean. One day we walked along the beach 2.5 miles to the nearest shopping area with food trucks. The kids all had a blast even on the rainy day.

Loved the location

The house was as spacious and comfortable as we expected. The beach was awesome. Great location -- private but yet not far from restaurants & shopping. We were disappointed that the "heated" pool was not working, as advertised. Also had difficulty getting cable to work on the TV's. Had to stream Net Flix from our own account to get any shows to watch.

Amazing house with amazing views!

We couldn't have been happier with this house. It far exceeded our expectations. We had a large gathering of family and friends... about 16 and thought we would feel cramped but were not at all. The house is fully stocked with cooking supplies. There is plenty of parking. The extra fridge was a bonus! We loved waking up every morning to the unbelievable beach views! We would definetly rent this house again. We made some very special memories here!
