Dean is a wonderful host and his place was amazing, beyond compare. Hands down it was the best beach property we've stayed at. If you've ever wanted to experience the true majesty of the ocean without any distractions this is the place for you. Only a set of stairs separate you from the waves and sand of a private beach. If you come in summer you might even catch sea turtles nesting or hatching.
Everything you might need has been cared for by Dean, beach towels, yeti cooler, totes, soaps, fresh crisp linens, and a massive fridge ice-maker that gives you 2 gallons of ice to fill up your cooler. If you can find an open spot, book it immediately! You won't be disappointed.
We stayed with our children and it was great. They played on the beach for hours and were able to relax in their own room and watch their own shows on the smart TV. There is a washer-dryer to keep all your things fresh. Big windows facing the back let in the ocean air and the sound of crashing waves as a perfect lullaby.
Grill out back with charcoal or gas. Hang out in the tiki hut. Meet the neighbors. We had our grandparents next door to us and that worked out in our favor too. They enjoyed it as much as we did. Close, but with just enough separation to not step on each other. It's about a 30 minute drive to the local Publix grocery store, but if you download their app, you can get groceries delivered in about the same amount of time and not miss moment of sunshine.
Even the kitchen was well stocked with tableware and cutlery, and we especially appreciated the kids plates, bowls, and cups. We'll definitely be back.
