Spring break ‘25

Property was very clean and well stocked with towels, kitchen gear, and beach supplies. We loved the backyard and took daily walks around the neighborhood. House is very close to Publix, great restaurants, souvenirs, and Beasley Park for the beautiful beach. Would absolutely stay here again!

Clean and comfortable gem

This home has been recently updated. Super clean. Comfortable bedding and linens. Very well stocked including beach chairs. Very good for a pet with tile and LVP floors and fenced back yard. Was perfect for our family and just a short drive to the beach.

Great place to stay!

We stayed here from June 23-June 28 2024. The house was so cozy and had everything my family needed for our stay. The beds were very comfortable and the backyard was plenty big for our Yorkie and my autistic toddler to burn off energy. The beach and activities were only minutes away and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay here again! Recommend 10 out of 10.

Vacation Vibes

The house was beautiful! There were enough rooms for all of a family of four and family of three. The bunk beds were perfect for the girls. The backyard was big and the deck was nice for eating dinner outside. The neighborhood was quiet and the location of the house was close to coffee, grocery shopping and the beach. The host even had beach supplies we could use while we were there.

The one and only negative thing is the mold at the door of the washer. Everything else was great. The house is in a great spot. Super clean. Well stocked with kitchen and bathroom essentials. About an 8 minute drive to the parking by Rockin’ Tacos. About 30-45 minute drive (depending on traffic) to Lulu’s. A pack N play and baby monitor we were able to use. Plenty of room for all of us (5 adults a 5 year old and a baby). Definitely would love to stay again.

Visiting New Grandbaby

This is a beautifully kept home. Pet friendly, our dog loved the big fenced in back yard. The check in process was simple and the lock was easy to use. Had everything we need for a 3-week stay. The owner was easy to communicate with and extremely responsive. Of note she moved our stay up a week when our grandchild was born 5 weeks early. I would recommend to anyone, and we will look to return.
