This home was perfect for our family of 9. It is a older home but it is very quaint and well maintained. We felt at home from the moment we walked in the door. The kitchen was well stocked and snacks and drinks were left for our arrival. The beach is beautiful and it is a very short walk from the house. There is a public access entrance close to the house but the beach was never crowded. We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning soon.

It was a little colder this year than expected so it was a little disappointing not to get to enjoy the water. Loved the location and the fact that everywhere we went was within a 10 minute drive. Owners were great with any problem that we had.

Great stay at pcb!

Love the property! Was so nice waking up to views of the emerald water. The house was perfect for us. Probably could have shared with another family even. The location is perfect for playing a baseball tournament at the new Publix sports park. About 10 minutes away. Close to restaurants, mini golf, etc. Can't imagine staying anywhere else at pcb.
