Nicely decorated house, close to the beach

The house was very clean and tidy, nicely decorated inside and out. Very close to the beach and you can actually hear the waves and has a bit of ocean view, which was great for a morning coffee on the deck. The only downside was the early check out at 10 am, other than that it was great.

Wonderful Family-Friendly Beach Getaway

We had a fantastic stay at this 3-bedroom beach house! The home was clean, comfortable, and fully stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing trip. The location was perfect — just a quick and easy golf cart ride to the beach. We actually loved that the area only allowed golf cart access; it really cut down on traffic and made the neighborhood feel much safer for our kids.The community was peaceful, well maintained, and very family friendly. It was the kind of place where you could truly unwind. We’d absolutely come back again!

Wonderful property!

Our group of 11 had a wonderful time at the house! It was the perfect amount of space, has comfy beds & sofas, and we had everything we needed to cook all of our meals for 5 days! We had a small hiccup with the door handle, but the host sent someone out to fix it and got it all squared away! Plenty of linens and pillows! We absolutely loved having our morning coffee and unwinding in the evenings on the porch. Would definitely come back & recommend to others!

Gorgeous, spacious, perfect location

We absolutely loved our stay. The home is sparkling clean and very spacious. The full-size laundry amenities were a huge help. The kitchen is well-outfitted with every possible cooking utensil. Coffee maker is k-cup only. The large deck was perfect for morning coffees and evening drinks. The walk to the beach is less than 100 yds. We enjoyed the smoker/grill as well. Honestly everything was perfect, and the guest contact was very responsive and quick to answer questions.
