This was a very low key property, which is what we were looking for. It was all about relaxing, low profile, and most importantly THE BEACH. The view is very old style Florida. We loved it. We will be booking again, and sending this rental to family who also vista PCB. Notably it’s far away from pier park and the busy area. That’s what we wanted. This end of the beach is always what we seek out. It was a great rental home. We will be back!

This home was perfect for our family of 9. It is a older home but it is very quaint and well maintained. We felt at home from the moment we walked in the door. The kitchen was well stocked and snacks and drinks were left for our arrival. The beach is beautiful and it is a very short walk from the house. There is a public access entrance close to the house but the beach was never crowded. We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning soon.

It was a little colder this year than expected so it was a little disappointing not to get to enjoy the water. Loved the location and the fact that everywhere we went was within a 10 minute drive. Owners were great with any problem that we had.
