This house was perfect for our two families that totaled 11. There were two king rooms with full bathrooms for each and two bunk bed rooms that also shared a full bathroom that was perfect for all of the kids. The pond in the back was so fun for my boys to fish and there were 2 balconies to sit and sip coffee - 1 even stayed shaded all morning and overlooked the pond. The pool is RIGHT next to the condo which was very convenient. The beds were comfortable, AC worked incredibly, and the kitchen had all we needed. We had plenty of towels and enjoyed the luxury of washing and drying laundry if needed. I had an issue opening the door upon checking-in (user error), but I was helped right away when calling for assistance. The ONLY thing that I would add per my preference is more comfortable seating (super cute yellow chairs at the island and table were metal and very uncomfortable, especially for someone with a back/shoulder issue). We loved the Banana Stand!

Had a great time with kids and Grands in our VRBO! Unit looked to be a little more isolated in the pics…ended up in a cluster of rentals and was very loud at night, even though quiet time was supposed to start at 10:00. House was pretty nice…very functional for our family.

Great getaway!

Wish there was better direct access to the beach but if you're just out for a stroll, this is perfect. Too far away though to carry all your stuff with you LOL. Gotta rent a cart (unless you want the salt on your vehicle). Right beside the pool, great for the kids we had along with us.

Great Property!

fun spot, great house very close to beach! Bedrooms and bunks were great with lots of space to spread out. Kitchen/eating area was super tiny, table wedged in front of the fridge in a very small area BUT if family dinners are not your bag, this place was perfect! -ad says propane grill, but was not propane. Other than, that our stay was great, the management company was SUPER easy for check-in and out process also. The outdoor area downstairs is really cool too, lots of covered area with a great view of the pond and two awesome decks to sit on!
