Our family of seven loved staying at this wonderful home! The pool was refreshing. The beach is just steps away from the home. The house was beautifully furnished. The views of the ocean from the beach were spectacular. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking family meals. Communication from our hosts was prompt and helpful. We will happily return next year!

Both the house and the host were top notch, I don’t think I’ve had a better VRBO experience than here. The house was clean, perfectly appointed, and comfortable. The location was amazing; easy access to the beach and town, and the pool was perfect to balance the beach. The owner offered helpful local suggestions, including a half day fishing charter and golf cart rentals that made it easy for us to book through. The owner was incredibly responsive and clearly cared that we enjoyed the property. Thank you Jim!

#### 2nd Annual Thanksgiving Family Trip
The property was beautiful! It was exactly as described. We had 13 adults and 1 child (5 y.o.) in our group. There was more than enough space for us to hang out all together and also for us to break away for solitude when needed. The kitchen was AMAZING! Plenty of space, double ovens, a Kuerig and drip coffee maker were both available. The home had every amenity a family would need - games, beach chairs, books, TV, and internet. Mu husband enjoyed surf fishing, and the family enjoyed walks on the beach. Jim is always an amazing host. He checks in through out the stay to see if anything is needed - which is always a no from us as he ensures that his properties are well stocked.
