Very beautiful home, nicely decorated inside and out. Plenty of space for the 11 family members that were there over the Labor Day weekend getaway. They provided a lot more items then the normal VRBO has in the past… sheets, towels, k-cups, soaps, shampoos, etc. Really enjoyed the home during our stay. Will definitely be back. ##### Michael W.

We loved the amazing views from the house, the ease of walking to the beach on the private path. The house had everything we needed for meals and comfort. Great communication with the management company on any small issue we had. we could not have asked for anything more. I will be back! ##### Katy F.

The property was amazing and my family loved it! It rained a great deal while there, but the house was so comfortable that we didn't mind. It was so well stocked that we didn't need anything, games, books, kitchen utensils, it is all there. Thank you to the owners for sharing their home with us. We will definitely rent again! ##### DeAnna P.

It was perfect in every way…everything we needed and more. Books, games, movies, cooking supplies. Close enough to Seawall yet far enough for more privacy and the feel of a secluded beach :) Just watch out for snakes in dunes! ##### Katie H.

So many things they don't have listed on the website included both drip and Kcup coffee maker, lawn chairs, sand toys, charcoal BBQ all the pots and pans and dinner ware you would need. I would definitely rent this property again. ##### Sherry P. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian V. 2 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Beachfront Property We had a great time at this VRBO. The house was clean, the location was prime, and everything was as advertised. One of the reasons we chose this house was the reviews about how many extras were included that might not be in every rental property. The kitchen was fully stocked, lots of movies to watch and games to play, and there were a few things that were convenient to have next to the beach. Glad we didn't have to go to Walmart and buy a bunch of stuff that we wouldn't take home with us. It was a great experience. ##### Brian V. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Holly P. 14 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fun Family Time! This location is really great, right in the beach and not too far from the sea wall. It’s perfectly stocked, just bring shampoo and conditioner there isn’t much at all. Plenty of beach chairs and toys. Games, DVDs, fully stocked kitchen and appliances. Some sheets need replaced, some are really rough. Good stay though! ##### Holly P. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lois T. 12 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Has everything The house is beautiful. There are tons of beach stuff for the kids and chairs, no need to bring that stuff. The house is supplied quite well with just about anything you'll need, just bring food. We had a family of 13, ranging from 58 to 6 months and we were all very comfortable and had so much fun. ##### Lois T. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debi L. 27 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Girls Trip We loved this property!! It is pure luxury! The pictures of the inside are spot on. The furniture was beautiful but comfy and cozy. The bedrooms were big and spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with high end dishes and cookware. We stopped by the grocery store and enjoyed cooking in this kitchen overlooking the ocean. It was the perfect place to relax on our girls winter beach trip. There were only 5 of us this time but definitely want to bring the rest of the family back. There is plenty of room! And big nouns… This house is RIGHT on the beach so we could watch the kids play from the balcony. We enjoyed our stay so much! ##### Debi L.

All as pictured in listing. Great kitchen with everything I needed to bake and prepare meals and treats. Lovely furnishings in every room. I felt like we were in one of my friends’ home. Views are beyond amazing throughout the house. Gorgeous sunrises from Primary bedroom. Location is good too. Also, easy , short drive to the Seawall restaurants. Good selection of local restaurants too. We have very large men (6’6”) in our family and the seating area in living room worked well. Very nice outdoor spaces too ,and accommodates everyone for dining, lounging and sunning. Separate spaces to get some reading and alone time as well. I can’t wait to return!! PS : Butterflies and dragon flies entertained along with sea birds. Recommend highly ##### Merri Lyn P. Stayed 10 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doug R. 4 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic Beach House The home is beautifully decorated and feels like a home as soon as you walk in. The kitchen is furnished with every kitchen item (pots, pans, utensils, gadgets, etc) you need to cook all your meals include a decent selection of spices. You do have access to the owners beach closet for adult and children's beach chairs and a large collection of toys for the kids to play in the sand along with a couple of boogie boards and skimmer boards. The only critique is the thermostats are impossible to work. I have used a wide variety of smart thermostats, but these were impossible to adjust. Fortunately, the weather was not super hot for us, so we were comfortable. I would recommend specific instructions for adjusting the thermostat in the owners book because if there was a trick to getting the screen to show the temp adjustment, I was unable to figure it out. I would recommend this house to everyone and would not hesitate to rent again. ##### Doug R. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023
