This house was amazing! It is right on the beach with your own private path to the sand. The furnishings were beautiful and comfortable. Everything we could think of and more was provided. So many extras that the kids really enjoyed, such as the slide, karaoke, and the gaming area. Gilchrist is our favorite area to stay because it's less busy. We definitely would rent this house again.

Everything was perfect. The host was extremely attentive and responsive, almost instantly to any questions or requests. She was a doll. My wife truly appreciated all she did for our group. The entire family enjoyed the property. We used all her resources. The beach gear came in handy. The youngsters appreciated all the sand castle tools she had acquired for the guest. The ping pong table turned into a family tournament. The projector was amazing for relaxing in the hot tub, watching Banana ball on the screen. It was an overall great family experience. We will definitely do it again.

The house was exactly as described. It was well stocked with more than the usual rental would have - even beach chairs and toys. The view from the back deck was perfect for watching the fireworks at night and keeping an eye on the kids during the day. The location was not on the busiest part of the beach which made it nice - less traffic and loud music from all the beach cruisers. We would definitely stay there again.
