Backyard Social offers an unmatched tropical experience with its 3-course mini golf, plenty of space to enjoy outdoor ping pong and corn hole games, relax in the hammock shaded by palm trees and soft beach sand or soak in the Florida sunshine in the heated saltwater pool. When you're ready for some shade, there's ample space for everyone to move to the tiki hut bar and table to grill, watch TV and view the sun go down as the backyard lights up. If things start to cool off and you want to enjoy a nice hot soak, move over to the 7-person hot tub to relax.
Each bedroom has its own Smart TV. Most rooms, including the theater (living room) have a Roku TV (or Roku stick). You can sign into your personal account to use streaming services or use the local Roku channels (cable not included). All Smart TVs in the house offer some streaming without an account.

Great rental for a large group. Backyard was wonderful for the kids and adults. Jake has amazing communication/response time to any concerns you may have. Very close to public beach with a parking lot! Neighborhood felt safe and friendly.
Over all this place was great. It had everything you needed for a vacation trip. Game room, pool, hot tub, grill, cool outside seating area, plenty of room for everyone. The only bad remark I have is that the oven had some problems when we tried to use it. Overall it’s a great play to stay and I would definitely recommend staying here.
Everything was great we all loved it ! So many beds and the pool was amazing everything was perfect but the only thing there was cockroach’s . Other than that everything was amazing Jake was great at answering all my questions and was so nice ! Will definitely book again!
Overall a great stay, nice home, many amenities, we loved the pool and the kids loved the video game system. Nice big projector TV in the main room. Very close to the beach. Great communication with Jake the rental property manager. Highly recommend this place.
Great Location and Layout – A Few Improvements Could Make It ExcellentGreat Location and Layout
Great Location & Layout – Some Minor IssuesWe enjoyed our 4-night stay — the house is in a great location, has a family-friendly layout, and offers plenty of amenities. It was a fun and comfortable place for our group.There were some minor cleanliness and maintenance issues. The home could use a deeper clean and some TLC, but overall, it’s a solid property with lots of potential. We'd stay again after a few updates.

The rental was generally as described
However we had one Major problem as the Oven Did Not Work. The owner said they had used it for Thanksgiving and it was 50 degrees off. However he did not inform us of this until we contacted him after burning the cookies in 2 minutes. After we adjusted the temp they still burnt in 4 minutes. We did not feel comfortable cooking anything else in the oven. Well whatever was wrong then was much worse now. The heating coil appeared to Never shut off as well as a Very Hot wave of air came out when opened. This is a potential fire hazard. As a result our expenses were much higher as we were unable to cook meals as planned. Additionally several other minor items made the experience less than desirable. Including: the toaster oven did not have a tray, the advertised mini-waffle maker was not usable as the top waffle plate would not lock into place, we had to search all the outdoor equipment to find 2 usable ping pong paddles, the hammock mount had been broken for some time as the bolt was very rusty and finally dart game did have extra tips but most of the shafts had the plastic pieces broken off internally and the fins would not fit the shafts it took several hours to get 3 usable arrows.The size of the house was great as we had 15 family members and there was plenty of room to celebrate Christmas together. The grill was useful since the oven did not work. The size of the dining room table was great to be able to play games.
