Great Vacation Rental

This was a great vacation spot for our group of four families, 8 adults and 9 kids ages 11-17. The number of bedrooms and bathrooms was great. There were enough seats for all of us plus a few extra at the dining tables. We could all fit cozily in the living area for games. The kitchen had enough space to prepare and store food. It was well stocked with pots/pans/utensils/dishes. We got tons of use out of the pool and having direct access to the beach was amazing! We had a couple small issues come up while we were there and it was really easy to text the manager and they responded promptly. We would definitely stay here again or at other properties managed by this company.

The house was exactly as pictured. It had room for our two big families. 14 of us total. The ice maker was great to fill up our cooler each day. We found most everything we needed for cooking. The house is right on the beach and our kids loved the heated pool. Would stay again!

Great Getaway

The house was very large, had great access to the beach and meet all our expectations. The accommodations were comfortable and clean. The pools was also clean and used daily. There was plenty of space for all of use to be together without feeling crowded. The two parallel tables were particularly great as we were able to sit down together for dinner several nights, as well as play games.

Perfect location

Loved the location and size of house. Living room and dining room furniture not very comfortable at all. Kitchen well supplied but could use more coffee mugs and better frying pans. Air conditioning had trouble keeping up with the warm temps. Did have hvac maintenance respond within 15 minutes when needed. If you like hot tubs you will love the pool. Pool got cloudy and we should have called management company but being a pool owner I thought they’d automatically service it midweek but they didn’t. When we investigated the last day it was out of chlorine 😞

Big Fabulous Family Vaca

Overall this property was incredible with great location, beautiful beachfront, perfect size pool, and very spacious for our 25 person stay. The only downside was if you have “big kids” in the bunk rooms it might be a stretch to fit 6 of them in the bunk room. The pullout beds are not very comfortable as well. Other than these 2 items the house was well equipped and was beyond our expectations, and the kitchen with ice maker was a huge bonus. The beach access was extremely convenient and was great having our own space on the beach. Pool was heated and on hot days was a little too warm but we did not ask to have it adjusted as the night cooled down and the kiddos loved being it it then. Highly recommend this property!
