Very easy to find, close enough to all of gulf shore’s amenities but far enough away to provide peace and quiet. House was very clean and it faces west so beautiful sunsets every night. Beach is an easy walk and was never too busy. Wildlife was great as well, saw dolphins multiple times!

Construction noise was unexpected.

The house was great and the process was easy but we had no idea that construction was occurring right next door. Starting bright and early every day there was construction noise all day long. It made time on the porch not enjoyable. It was not a relaxing get-away as we had hoped. I just wish it had been disclosed so I could have made an informed decision.

Family vacation

The house was beautiful. The view from the porch of the bay was absolutely stunning. We were close to a public beach access (was a little walk,but that’s ok). My son loved fishing off the private dock. House was very well stocked in the kitchen. My only concern was the grass. It was knee high and never cut the whole time we were there. I even texted the property management on the first day. My grand kids kept getting thorns in their legs trying to walk to the house
