Great spot

This was a comfortable and well stocked house. Both a screened porch and a deck off the back. Short walk to the beach. Definitely a quiet spot but plenty of restaurants and stores nearby.

Quick family getaway

The property was lovely and accurately described. We had issues with the door lock but received quick responses. Easy golf cart ride to the beach and close to a lot of the restaurants and shops on the island. Enjoyed our stay!

Excellent!

It's a very nice place, with everything you need. All updated, nice decor, great kitchen, back screen porch was nice and private with a good view of trees and pond. The backyard has lawn chairs and beach accessories to take with you to the beach. Parking is a driveway or under a carport. Good location. I felt very safe staying here.

Anna Maria - Palm Drive

The property was so nice! There were 4 of us. It was brand new and very clean. They had all amenities that were necessary. The screened in back porch and grill were so nice to have because restaurant waits could be up to 3 hours if after sunset. The trolly is very close so you can hop on that if needed and it was free!! We walked everywhere because of proximity to the beach! The washer and dryer are very small but it didn't matter to us. The owners were very easy to get a hold of if needed. There is ample parking for 2 cars. We had an amazing trip and would recommend this place and we would stay again!!
