Family reunion

This is a tremendous property, it had everything we desired and some. We had a slight hiccup when we arrived on Friday night, but the owners were there in about 30 minutes to straighten it out.It’s a convenient location, not immediately within the hustle and bustle of Pleasure Pier, but short drive away.I would recommend over and over.

Lovely Property But Lacks Quality Necessities

We loved the location and layout of the beach house. The beach was perfect. However, the location lacked decent toilet paper, sufficient towels for a 14 person house, and extra blankets.

Great Family Meeting Place

Our family had a great time and enjoyed our stay. We appreciated the close proximity to the beach, the big windows facing the ocean, the well stocked kitchen, the extra snacks they provided, the variety of children's books and games, and the modern interior design, furnishings and decor. We would all enjoy coming back to stay again in the future.

Great Get-together House

We had a group of 14 friends stay here following a school event. The house layout was perfect for our needs and was immaculately clean and well-stocked. Communication was smooth and efficient. The best part was being able to see the water from the house and just a two minute walk to the beach.

Friend Vacation

We had the most incredible stay at this beach house! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning views, the clean and beautifully decorated interior, and the overall attention to detail throughout the property. The house was exactly as described—if not better—and fully equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing and stress-free vacation.Waking up to the sound of the waves and enjoying coffee on the deck was an absolute dream. The location is ideal—just steps from the beach yet private enough to feel like our own little slice of paradise. The host was responsive, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat or a fun family getaway, this beach house checks all the boxes. We’re already talking about coming back again soon. Highly, highly recommend!

Extended family stay

The house was beautiful just like the pictures. The location was perfect, accesses to the beach very convenient, views of the gulf from the decks was beautiful! One of the pocket doors to the shared Hollywood bathroom was off the track and this was somewhat inconvenient. Also there was no community pool access as advertised. We had a great time on our stay!

Fun Family Getaway

We had 3 generations staying in the house. It was a perfect arrangement for young boys in the bunk room, parents and grandparents in nice rooms with ensuites. We loved the beach access right at the property. We went down several times a day. The living area and kitchen were great to gather, cook, and play games at the same time. The outdoor shower was very much appreciated after the beach. We appreciated the beach items we could use out of the garage along with the grill. The views from the balconies were great and they were another place to gather and enjoy the sound of the waves. We plan to return to this property next year.

Several of the outlets didn't work in the bedrooms & bathrooms, the lift didn't work even though the property says it's "wheelchair accessible". We have a child in a wheelchair and that was a reason we booked the house, wouldn't recommend for anyone who can't trek up tons of stairs.
