The house was perfect—clean, comfortable, and fully stocked with everything we needed. The location truly can’t be beat: everything was within walking distance, and the beach was just steps away. It was quiet, uncrowded, and ideal for relaxing all day. Even better, it was dog-friendly—our Lab had the time of his life. Everyone we met was friendly, and the whole atmosphere was laid-back and welcoming. A perfect family vacation. We can’t wait to come back.

Most amazing place and host!
We had not been to the beach in years and were looking forward to a relaxing vacation. THIS PLACE DELIVERED. first of all the location is amazing! You dont have to go too far to try amazing restaurants, shops etc. Aunt Ebbys ice cream was so close and me and my family loved it. The home being on the beach was so nice and allowed us to come and go as we pleased! The home was so lovely. It was clean and we felt as if we were staying at a family members home. They had everything we needed! We even enjoyed the game Balderdash-the host provided :) it created some hilarious memories. I cant say enough at how wonderful this trip was. Thank you so much for making our vacation amazing! I highly recommended this place!

House did not look like picture
We came in at night and it was no light over house number and the house pictured was white with red door but it had been painted and was yellow with white door. There were dirty dishes still in the dish washer from previous renter. The interior was otherwise clean. Needs some renovations to the interior.

Great week at the beach!
Nice, clean home in a great location within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Beautiful view of the gulf from the porches. Neighbors are very close but was not an issue. Weather was perfect every day we were there. Layout of home was very accommodating for 2 couples allowing for privacy when needed.

It's in the details
We want to come back it was soooo nice and the location is perfect! The little bit of yard or garden area behind the parking area is overgrown and rough on the shins. Walking between the condos was a challenge as well and downed palm tree leaves ripped my ankle open to bleed. The boards need replaced on outer decking and the screws were exposed and cut my grandsons foot open too. If the outside area got as much attention as the inside it would have been much nicer! Oh and the carpet is stained badly in one bedroom.
