Stayed 4 nights and overall it was fantastic! Roomy, a great patio area and the backyard is literally the beach. Private parking for 4 cars was a great benefit. And for us dog lovers, being able our precious pooch was a huge plus! Highly recommend for your next beach trip…you won’t be disappointed.

Perfect place on the beach
It is hard to find nice rentals that accept more than one dog. This house was wonderful! The location is fabulous and the house was fantastic. The beach was picture perfect. I highly recommend this house to anyone interested.
Great location and very cute house with fantastic views. Just wish it was stocked slightly better. One beach chair, one seater kayak. No cooking spray or oil. Only salt and pepper. Deck of cards or other family games?
With just a few more items to make this house comfortable for a family, this place would be awesome. For the price, it is a reasonable idea.
Oh and the TV didn’t work in the master bedroom.

Beautiful Beachfront Property
We loved this beachfront property, it was perfect for our family. The layout was nice, we had space for privacy and togetherness. The views were spectacular from the porch we got to see the sunrise and sunsets. The house is located in an upscale neighborhood within walking distance to Motte Marina. The kitchen had everything you might need to cook, also provided were linens and towels, as well as beach chairs. We hope to return soon.

OLD & TIRED
The entire place was old and tired, and there was mold in the shower curtain. We totally overpaid for what we got. We were getting random food deliveries and reached out to the rental owner, who never responded! We will not be coming back. Enough said!

Great location, perfect vacation spot
We enjoyed our time at Laura’s place. If you’re questioning the extra cost to be right on the beach, just do it. Especially if you have littles. The access to the beach was perfect, so quiet and peaceful. The place is spacious with all the things you need. I appreciated the baby gate and all the wonderful beach toys downstairs. Laura was also easy to communicate with and check in was a breeze. Also the downstairs shower was great to minimize sand in the house. My only comments would be:
1. Bring shampoo and conditioner if you’re traveling from afar. There’s only bar soap
2. House is definitely older so just Set your expectations. Regardless beds were comfortable and there were plenty blankets.
3. Bug spray would have been a nice plus, we got eaten alive in the deck after a nice Florida rain.
4. Lots of food options, just do door dash if you don’t want to leave the house. Poppos Tacos is the best! Pizza social was yummy too.
5. Bring socks unless you want to feel sand on your feet for days lol

Such a beautiful place and perfect location
This property checked off the boxes for a wonderful generational trip for the girls. It was clean, beach access was so private, and the deck furniture worked well for our needs. Baby gate was helpful. All equipment was working and the air conditioning unit was very good and kept us cool on the warmer days. Location was great! The pier was a close walk and instacart delivers to the address so no leaving for groceries!
