Plenty of space and plenty of amenities. Owners were very easy to work with - great communication and an easy check-in and check-out process. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0701ef26-33d4-4c77-9d17-293c763d5fc4-1753976683724.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2cd894b4-259e-4128-86e2-6901a3520ea5-1753976683722.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/27806ac1-7861-428a-85fb-18a700d5ee4d-1753976684407.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Dr Dan Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Camille R. 24 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This house was amazing for our family reunion.

We enjoyed the views, the quiet neighborhood, and the upscale house, like the very large bathrooms, showers, tall ceilings and giant windows. The owner is excellent, very nice and very responsive. We felt at home and we knew we would have a great experience because of the owner. We enjoyed the access to the beach, pool and all the activities, a close drive away from the house. We ate all our meals on the deck to enjoy the views. The house is new and we loved being in the new house. ##### Karen B.

We thought this place looked pretty sweet online but to see it in person is pretty awesome! Absolutely beautiful! Every room! So spacious! We took our whole family. Married kids and grandkids! We can’t wait to go back. Access to Ideal Beach was a must for me when I was booking our trip. This a just a quick drive away from all that Ideal Beach has to offer. I think our families fav part was the gorgeous deck. We spent a lot of time hanging out and playing games on the deck! Can’t wait to come back! ##### Lindy G.
