This is the second year we’ve stayed here with our family and it’s perfect. We love the four master bedrooms with en suites. The pool is perfect and large enough for all 7 of us the be in there at the same time. The beach is a quick walk and there is daily availability to rent chairs and umbrellas. The house is very clean and fully stocked. We can’t say enough great things about this property!

Great place for large groups!

We had the best time at this beach house! We had 3 couples with kids and there was plenty of room for all of us. The house came equipped with everything you would need for the pool and the beach (towels included)! It’s exactly a 3 minute walk to the beach (as advertised). The pool/spa combo was nice as well. The owners were very communicative throughout the whole stay. 10/10 would recommend and would stay here again!

Maintenance Need to occurr

Property is indeed beautiful but needs to be scheduled for standard maintenance. We arrived and the pool was green tinted and full of leaves. We were told by owner that pool person would be out to service the pool the day after we arrived due to overflow issues. He didn't show up until the day before we left. Pool heater was so hot that the kids couldn't swim for fear of burning their skin -- Owner shut that off but still charged us full amount for week of heating. Owner sent a pool tech out to check out the heater and that tech asked us to help fill the pool with water while they attended another property down the street. (So much for our vacation). Air conditioner didn't work properly and temp in the house was 79 and was programed for 70 -- with infants in the house with us we called the owner again and another tech showed up and had to add 3 pounds of freon to unit and service the coils and filter which were very dirty and causing unit to not work properly. Overall, the house is beautiful but the attention to daily maintenance is being overlooked. Construction on the street to other houses was a problem every time we left and came back to houseWe will not stay there again.

Our family traveled from upper midwest to enjoy a family vacation and this home met all our expectations and more!The home itself was very welcoming, spotless, and beautifully decorated to give the sense of beachy, relaxing vibes. Kitchen was well stocked with all that we needed to prepare meals. Ordering groceries for delivery was a breeze!The salt pool and spa was absolutely heavenly! Many hours of fun were spent in the pool. The neighborhood was family oriented, peaceful and private with the beach just a short walk away. Everyone we encountered was friendly and respectful. We were able to have family photos taken at sunset at Henderson Beach State Park which was equally as amazing and wonderful. Mitch & Susan were wonderful hosts! They take great pride in their home and in making sure their guests have a remarkable experience so lifetime memories can be made. They made this trip easy. Mitch & Susan take the extra time to offer all the accessories to enjoy the beach, games for the house, and in preparing a guide of recommendations of local attractions and restaurants, which was super helpful. Our family was able to enjoy all the local attractions just a short drive away from the house.Their responsiveness to all communications, their helpful tips and recommendations sure enhanced our vacation experience and we are forever grateful! We would highly recommend this beautiful home and Mitch & Susan as hosts! We hope to return again!

Our family vacation was our 2024 Christmas present to our family and it turned out to be the Best present ever. The house is in a wonderful location in a culdesac with little traffic, the house itself is perfect with 5 gorgeous bedrooms and 4 full baths.

About a 2 minute walk from the beach and about 6 minutes from my the grocery store, lovely surrounding restaurants as well.
