So glad because this place was perfect. Cleanliness- this is most important to me and the house could not have been any cleaner. I’d love for their cleaning crew to come to my house! Amenities - the house had everything, including phone and Apple Watch chargers. There wasn’t anything missing that made us think “I wish they had…”. The back yard is super private. Never wondered if we were being watched. Location - less than two blocks from the beach. We rented a golf cart but could have easily walked to restaurants and shopping 10/10 recommend. Would stay here again. . ##### Dianne M. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laurie B. 3 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Home Away From Home Very clean home with beautiful decor. Backyard BBQ and great yard for dog. No problems except for the inability for my devices to pair with their tv so we could watch evening movies. Need directions for internet as it can be very frustrating. Waveland beach was the best in area, very clean and plenty of waves. We were there in off season so travelers should be aware of the shortened time frame to eat in downtown area...if you're not there by 8pm, forget it. Close to a variety of activities and restaurants. It is walkable to beach for younger folks, but a bit long for over 60 but there's plenty of places to park for free. A great time. We would like to return at some point. ##### Laurie B.
