We had a great time staying at this rental! The kitchen is fully stocked and the hosts made sure we had all the beach gear needed to enjoy our time on the sand. Recommend getting the golf cart rental so you can cruise down to the beach in comfort, otherwise it is a bit of a walk. The house is stylishly decorated and great for entertaining. The hosts were easy to communicate with and always available to answer any questions.

The most important thing to me when renting is communication with the property manager. The property was as described in the promo. The refrigerator (a fairly new one) had a compressor go out the night we got there. The manager had a repairmen there the next morning and even offered to drive to Walmart that night and get us a temporary small box until it got fixed.Now THAT'S worth it's weight in gold. The house is situated were the beach is a very short 2 block walk or drive. If you kan on going to the beach every day, definitely get the cart ... worth every penny. We all agreed we will definitely go back if we can pull everyone together.Very comfortable for our large family ...

This beach house was exactly what we needed for a relaxing trip with our two fur babies . The home was spotless and very comfortable, and the kitchen was impressively well stocked for cooking meals in. We also loved the variety of games and activities available, it made our evenings really enjoyable. The host was incredibly responsive and very reasonable throughout our stay. We would absolutely return.
