This property was absolutely perfect for our family of three adult couples, one grandma, one 2 year old, and a few pups. Here are the top 5 things about it:
1. You are right on the beach. If anyone gets tired or hungry or if you forgot your sunscreen, it's an easy walk back to the house. (This was CRUCIAL for our 2 year old.)
2. The downstairs area is the PERFECT place for babies and pups to run and play but still be contained. (The doggie area + incredible lower deck are all connected with gates to keep everyone inside.)
3. As the listing states, there is plenty of room to spread out. Three incredible porches + rooms with tvs + being right on the beach meant we could all do our own thing without being on top of one another, even on a rainy day!
4. This house has everything. Call in advance and ask them- we had chairs, nets, a beach wagon, etc.
5. You're right down the road from the State Park, which means if the waves are rough on the Gulf side, you can easily drive to the State Park and swim, float, paddleboard, snorkel on the bay. We saw sea urchins, sting rays, a BABY SEA TURTLE, a starfish, and hermit crabs.
This is a really special property. If you're on the fence about booking it, go for it. We loved our week here and we'll be back!!
