Great property and very equipped with everything you could think of ! Chris was very prompt on communication and helpful with everything that we required for the stay at their property. The yard is great for dogs and the pool was fun for the kids. They also have a little extra room that we hung out in with the cool light system. I would definitely stay at this property again.

Everything was great!!Very good location close to Publix, Danny’s pizza, Walmart only a few miles away.They allowed pets so I was able to bring our small dog instead of boarding him. Back yard was fenced so we weren’t worried about dog or kids.Hoping to go back in a few months.The owner also texted us to make sure we were all set.

Such a spacious, comfortable, family, home or wonderful for groups. The split floor plan with a main bedroom and bath on one side of the home and three additional bedrooms and a bathroom on the other side of the home with a spacious living room, dining room, and family/Florida room right by the pool gave all of us individual areas to gather. Every imaginable kitchen gadget offered us great opportunity to cook family meals with ease. The two car garage had every extra you could need for the beach and coolers and chairs, and even room to park your car if you want. The washer and dryer had a great utility sink with it and all the products necessary. The kitchen was even full of cooking spices! The large fenced in backyard had a table to gather chairs to rest in, and the pool was sparkling clean. The host checked in with us regularly and was so ready to help us with anything extra, you are in wonderful hands with them! Lastly, this home is in such a wonderful neighborhood, super safe less than a mile from every type of grocery/shopping/dining experience you could want and still less than 10 minutes from the ocean. Wonderful host and wonderful experience!
