Great home!

Very roomy and comfortable, private area. We had 7 adults and 4 kids and enjoyed the home, beach and pool. Loved the ice machine!

Finally Family Vacation Time

We haven't had a family vacation in over 7 yrs. And to be able to finally get us all together again was amazing. And our mother has early Alzheimers and this will probably be the last full family vacation we will be able to take so we cherished it with all our hearts. And to be able to share your absolutely beautiful home with us made our stay all the more relaxing. I really have to say that I am truly in love with that house. Thank you for allowing us to visit and I hope we can do it again soon.

great house

house is great and love the large kitchen. few hicups with tv's in bed rooms that are really not connected to anything. the cable boxes are not connected and any smart app function is not usable. We are nerds and used our own firesticks, but other wise they did not work. also had not hot water in master bath sink. no biggie so we did not care.

Best Family Vacation

Being directly oceanfront with a pool was amazing. Makes a huge difference having very short walk down the flat walkway to the beach. We would definitely stay here again!!
