Our family of 4 loved this place! The booking and check-in process was very simple, and the host, Blake, responded to my questions immediately.
Everything was exactly as described. The house has a lot of space. Each of our two teens had their own bed, and the bed in the master bedroom was huge and comfortable. Winding down at night, there were plenty of spots for the kids to have their own space. My son enjoyed just hanging out on the back deck, which has plenty of furniture and space.
The house had everything we could need. Fully stocked with towels and toiletries. The coffee machine was nice. The beach supplies are a great touch and the beach wagon is no joke. It's one of the really good ones that rolls on the sand rather than having to drag it.
"Steps to the beach" is very accurate. Seriously like under a minute to walk to the beach access. The beach itself is nice, with beautiful sunsets. You can walk for a couple minutes to get to the John's Pass area, which has all the shops and eateries you'd expect. There are plenty of crosswalks along the way where the signs light up. The house was like 45 minutes from the airport, and an hour to Busch Gardens.
The driveway is located off the main road (although Google maps lead us to the back of the house). Back into the driveway when you can; it’s easier to pull onto the road versus backing onto it. Traffic and people noise was expected with a beach house, but it there wasn’t a lot of it and it never bothered us.
