Our family of four, including our four year old and nine month old, stayed for five days and hardly wanted to leave. Hot tip, the huge walk in closet in the queen bed room works great for a little baby nursery! The houses location was wonderful too: walking distance to the beach (even for a four year old), walking distance to shops, and very private backyard. Thanks so much for having us! We can’t wait to come back. ##### Megan K.

This house was super cute and in a great location on the north part of the island. It was a close walk to the beach and the cute shops and stores. Mark & Ramona were great to work with and quickly responsive to any questions of concerns. The only reason I gave it 4 stars for accuracy of online listing is that it was hard to find the address in the information given to us. And it needs to be updated on Zillow. It still shows photos of the old house and no pool. Scared us a bit that we got the wrong house! We would definitely stay here again! ##### Megan H.

The stove top was broken when we arrived but this was not the fault of the owners and we were notified immediately. The only thing that I think needs some attention is the dishes in the kitchen. There were several dishes that were dirty and we ended up washing everything we used before using it. The rest of the house was very clean and we liked being able to walk to the beach and to restaurants and ice cream places. We felt safe in the neighborhood as well. We also very much appreciated the early check in and late check out that were made available to us. That was really very helpful. ##### Becky P.

The home was spotless, tastefully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was ideal-just a short walk to the beach and town. After a day in the Sun, we loved coming back to relax in the private pool.The town had plenty of great restaurants, and we also enjoyed the surrounding area for more dining options. This property is perfect for a couple or a small family. I visited with my husband, daughter, son-in-law, and 8 year old granddaughter, and everyone had a great time. The check in process was so easy and Ramona & Mark were very accessible for any questions that we had. I highly recommend this property for a relaxing beach getaway. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine D. 26 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect getaway! We had the sweetest week with our two small children! The space was perfect for our needs, and the hosts were extremely communicative before during and after our stay. We can’t wait to return! ##### Christine D.

The screened in porch provided a lovely retreat from the heat and occasional Fla rain. I can't say enough about the location; it's an easy walk to plenty of eateries, shops and the beach! We didn't need a car! We'll definitely be back!And I also appreciated the stocked kitchen of cookware and the washer/dryer. There were even games and water toys left for the kids. ##### Jennifer M.
