Love the beach access
We reserved the whole property with the 3 separate spaces and it worked out perfect for our family. The beach is right out the back door which is perfect. Definitely consider coming back.

Amazing location and perfect layout for multiple parties!
I rented this house to celebrate my 50th birthday with my two teenagers, my sister and her family and my parents. I grew up in the area very nearby and we’re so happy to come home with everyone! The space is perfect for multiple groups. My parents and sister had their own space as did I with the kids, which was perfect. There were so many beach toys and chairs available to us which was a lovely bonus! Things we likely would’ve had to purchase for staying a week, but we wouldn’t need to use again so it’s very nice not to have to buy and transport.

Great place on the beach
The house is very spacious and accommodated our large group well. We rented the entire unit and it worked out great. The backyard is very private and a short walk down a path to the beach. The views from the house are gorgeous. We would definitely recommend this place for a large family.

4 generations beach trip
Property was as advertised. Spacious, clean, comfortable, direct beach access. Mattresses could use a refresh, but overall a great experience. The covered carport was great feature on rainy days.
Beach was very close, plentry of parking for the 3 families and covered carpot was a plus for rainy days

Vacation with Family!
The house was very clean! Had everything that you could think of. The view from the deck was beautiful! As a lg family, we never felt like we were on top of each other. We did rent the whole house. The only down thing was a musty smell in one of the apartments downstairs.

All of us were comfortable in this house. It served our purpose nicely. Was here 3 yrs ago and was happy to see the carpet gone and like the redo in the kitchen. Not so happy to see the upstairs porch stairs gone because that gives the unit only one egress in emergency.

Florida family fun in the sun.
We loved having everything we needed for a fun family vacation on the beach. The house was perfect for our family. We loved that there were chairs and beach equipment in the storage closet. The house was well appointed with all the basic items necessary for our family. We loved our stay in this home.

Great location, but...
I will start with the positives...
Overall our stay was good. The rental property is located in a great area. There were a few restaurants and a convenience store all within a short walk from the place.
The beach was quiet and clean, and the water temp was swimmable. The 3 units having separate entrances worked out well for us, as we had multiple families staying at the house. They also have K-cup machines in each unit, which was a plus. The top floor was a nice place to entertain, with a great view of the beach. The sunsets were amazing!
Now the negatives...
Our biggest disappointment was the beach closing. During our last few days, we could not access the beach behind the house. It was closed down completely! We woke up to heavy machinery and trucks bringing sand in. Apparently, they had a planned restoration project in the works due to hurricane damage. Of course, we had no advance notice. If we did, we would have changed the date or moved to a less expensive rental across the road. We called the property management company and they said they had no idea either (I'm skeptical)... based on a quick web search, the project had been known to locals for months. They did give us a $205 gift card credit, but in my opinion, it was not enough. I think 1/2 off for those days would have been more fair.
Lastly, we saw a few rats crawling around out behind the house, but thankfully nothing inside!
Overall we had a good stay despite the negatives.

Mice mice mice
I would like to start this review off with honesty and positivity, the location of this place was perfect along the with the nightly sunsets . The nearby restaurants were great . Upon arrival we encountered several things wrong with rental . The sheets had blood stains on them , that being said the beds were so uncomfortable and made so much noise it was hard to get any rest . The downstairs units smelled like mold , the bathroom in unit B had fecal matter on the shower curtain we had to buy liners at dollar general. The worst part about this place was the kitchen , they clearly are aware of having a rodent problem based on every surface having mouse poop, glue traps , and rat poisoning thrown everywhere . This was absolutely absurd for the amount of money we’ve paid for this rental. At 3 am my youngest daughter and I heard the mice eating our food and running along the countertops , one had fallen into the trap ,it was such a terrible scene listening to him squeak in pain . This is our 10th year to the island and we were all so disappointed. We strongly encourage the owner to do some major repairs/ upgrades to this place , it has the potential to be beautiful.

Beautiful view
The house worked great in accommodating our family group of 14. The view was amazing. The balcony is in process of being repaired so the stair access was gone and the cleaning could have been a little better. The manager Marnie was great and very responsive. I would definitely love to go here again!
