The property was beautiful and clean. We had 3 kids under three and property was very kid friendly! Though I would recommend bringing a baby gate for the stairs, as the one provided didn't work at all.Microwave didn't work. Dryer didn't dry clothes on the first cycle and the kitchen sink water didn't get hot. All minor issues for us. We still absolutely loved our stay.

This is a great place to vacation with friends. We really enjoyed our stay here. Especially when it rained and we played the golf themed game "Play Nine" all day. The beach is close enough to just go for a minute or to carry stuff down and stay all day. It would also be great, though less affordable, for a big multigenerational family. Especially those who require walker or wheelchair accessibility. The kitchen is well stocked though, weirdly, we couldn't find any measuring cups or measuring spoons. It literally had everything else and we managed just fine. The main beds were very comfortable and the bunk beds were pretty standard and fine for kids but not really for adults. Everything was very clean and worked well. Communication was great. I would recommend to friends and family.

Quick weekend trip

The house was amazing, especially huge main kitchen/dining area well stocked with anything you would need. All was clean as expected. There were a few loud neighbors partying on the balcony which didn’t bother us but upset one of the other neighbors to a point he was yelling threatening to call the cops. They were all much quieter after that. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Stay

We enjoyed our stay. It was very comfortable with plenty of room for our family. It’s walking distance from the beach. Having 2 kitchens and 2 refrigerators is a plus. The elevator was great for hauling stuff upstairs, but know that it doesn’t go to the 3rd floor and it is located in the garage. It was difficult for my mother who uses a cane to use.

This house is amazing for families and friends. All age limits. The elevator was a life saver for myself and my husband (in our 60's, with bad knees).The customer service was awesome... my granddaughter left an old stuffed animal behind, and for very sentimental reasons we had to get it back... they made sure to find and send it back!

Great vacation home

This home was perfect for our family! It has a very well equipped kitchen and dining areas. Location was spot on. Short walk to beach and pool. One of the bedrooms is actually a small den with a pull out sofa bed. There were no linens for that bed. That was the only drawback. We were expecting another full bedroom. We would definitely stay in this home again. Loved the Banyan Beach area!
