We stayed over Thanksgiving week. The views and beach access were amazing. We enjoyed the quieter relaxed vibe. The house served us well. It was nice having room for all of us and all the amenities of home. The owners were very kind and accessible. Overall we had a great week on the beach!

Best week ever…. The house was immaculate and loaded with amenities. Kitchen was complete plus more. Roomy and beachy and only a couple of steps to the water. Everything you need for the beach plus a cart to haul it all down. Close to Publix, convenient to everything. Owners were easy to reach and wanted to be sure our stay was perfect, which it was.

House is right on the beach so you get the beautiful views of the ocean and easy to walk to. House was well stocked with items (soap, cooking utensils, etc.), so we did not have to buy a lot of extra outside of food for our stay. Owners were very communicative, easy to reach, and very nice. We loved the house and our stay!

Beach reclaimation going on in front of the property 24 hours a day. It is right on the beach. The house itself is cute. Plenty of room. Enjoyed the deck for sunning and watching the pelicans fish. We did a dolphin watching cruise that launched a few miles north of the property. We also took the Key West Express down to Key West for a day. This cruise also launched just a few miles north of the property. If it was not for the construction noise all day and all night every day of our stay, I might have given this Vrbo a higher rating. But that did negatively impact our visit.

Beautiful ocean front vacation

What a week. We had a wonderful time with family in this beautiful ocean front beach house. Spent our days at the beach or on one of the many levels of the house’s decks and our evenings inside playing games or chatting. So close to Publix too. Owner was very responsive and friendly. Would HIGHLY recommend.

Sunny Beach Escape

We had a wonderful vacation at Cardinal Island. This house was stocked so well- we have stayed with other agencies before on FMB and this house beat them all hands down! Communication was excellent with the hosts. We had a great time shelling and relaxing- the decks were awesome to watch the sunset and the below patio area was a great place to escape from the sun. We plan to book again next year.

We had a Great Time

We really enjoyed our time at Cardinal House. The view of the Gulf is incredible from the decks!! The house has everything you would need. My kids really appreciated the Christmas tree, lights on the deck and the wreath. We spent a lot of time walking on the beach and floating in the Gulf looking for sand dollars and conch shells on the beach and on the sand bars.
