Loved it!!!

I was initially hesitant to book this home because there was only one review. Couldn’t be happier that I went with my gut and rented the first week of August with my family. We were 7 adults and had plenty of space. The house is in the absolute perfect location. Steps from the beach, walking distance to Walgreens, Publix food store and other little shops. Also close to restaurants and bars. We were actually there for tropical storm Debby and we were amazed at how we couldn’t hear any of the winds or rain (solid windows/doors). The property management was also great communicating thru text to make sure we were safe. The pool is amazing and love that it’s partially covered. You can literally swim any time. This house is the perfect beach home, not glitzy, but accommodating for all your needs. 4 bedrooms/4 baths, never wait to take a shower! The price is right for what it offers. The only feedback I would give to the owner, is maybe supply more of the basics: garbage bags, dish soap and sponge, more paper towels. Highly recommend! Can definitely see us going back!

Great Location

We really enjoyed our week here at this property. Being only steps to the beach and having a shaded pool were the best features. Close to lots of stores yet secluded.
