Clean home
The house is not the newest on the block, but it is one of the cleanest. We stayed there two weeks and the location of the home is perfect. You can walk to the beach and walk to the grocery store and walk to a restaurant. If you don’t need to stay in the latest and greatest decor, the beach house is a good option. I would stay here again.

Enjoyed our stay!
Clean Property with an old school vibe. Comfortable beds & had everything we needed. Very short walk to the beach, Having Publix Grocery store just a couple blocks away was fantastic! Loved that there were beach chairs, umbrellas water boards & even a cart available making it effortless to hit the beach with everything we needed in a single trip. Neighborhood is quiet, but plenty of friendly folks walking around. Property management was very quick to communicate with me on a small issue I had with the smart thermostat scheduling in the home. If I was being a bit of a nitpick, I would say that the living room furniture was not very comfortable, but considering it was setup with futon couches to accommodate extra sleeping space this may not be a negative for everyone. A couple comfortable chairs & ottomans would go a long way! We would & probably will stay at this "Ian Survivor" again!
