This was our very first rental through VRBO and we are simply amazed. Our family had the most amazing time at the Blue Gumbo house. It is exactly as you see in the pictures. It is newly renovated. The proximity to the beach, a couple of restaurants being within the walking distance, covered garage, spacious backyard, and the location (quiet street) itself were among the best parts about this house. Anything you would need in a normal home was available in the house. Kitchen was well stocked with pretty much everything you would need. Overall, everyone in our family had a wonderful time! We HIGHLY recommend this house to anyone looking to rent a house, especially families with kids. ##### Zalak H.
