We have rented 20 plus beach houses over the years and Family Tides is by far the best we have stayed in. The kitchen is better equipped than any other and the furnishings are just right for a family. We had 4 kids 3 years old and under and the porch was the best playpen for safety and fun. I am actually afraid to post this review because selfishly I want to keep it a secret. The rental agents were always available for questions. I called them 6 times before we arrived and they were always friendly and happy to help. We had a great vacation. Thank you! ##### kristin b.

The house was clean, had fully stocked pans/cooking utensils, beds slept great and the beach is right there. I do wish there was beach chairs (hard to bring chairs too on a long trip) there and maybe a table, downstairs, for BBQing.... Would have made everything perfect ##### Katy R.

Property was wonderful except for deck cockroach infestation which drove us inside in the evenings. Spotted two large cockroaches in one of the bedrooms ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie M. 4 Nov 2018 #### Fantastic, breathtaking We stayed a full week and enjoyed every minute. The beach was wonderful. The space under the house was great for the kids to play. This kept them out of the sun and they were still able to be outside. The house was very well equipped. There is a grill under the house for grilling fresh seafood. I can not say enough good things about this house. If you want relaxation without the commercial feel, this is the island for you. We cooked every meal at the house. No need for eating out. But there are a few cute places for a quick snack too! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us! ##### Julie M.

With the door of the deck open, one can hear the waves all over the house... fantastic. The kitchen is one of the best stocked I've seen... needs scissors though. Extremely spacious, clean and comfortable and nicely decorated. Plenty of closet and drawer space in rooms... need hangars. Would be perfect for two families with kids. Beds are comfortable. Sofa is perfect for lounging. It was a great weekend. ##### Jeff T. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debbie B. 17 Sept 2025 ##### Debbie B.
