We have an older dog, so being able to bring her with us was wonderful. The house is decorated beautifully. The duplex quality allowed us to be with family, but not overcrowded. The beach amenities... chairs, umbrellas, wagon, and the golf cart made everything so easy. The pool is a perfect size for a family and it was soooo nice to cool off in after a day at the beach. The beds are comfortable and all the linens very clean and nice. Clint was very helpful and responsive. We hope to stay here again and again."

This is a great property for an easy, peaceful and comfortable trip. We had 4 adults and 3 small children. Everyone had plenty of space and all had a great stay. It is well stocked- it even has box fans and baby gate for a great nights sleep, nice kitchen stocked, and beach items! The golf cart is worth the rental as it made it fun to cruise the neighborhood and a quick drive to the ocean. We will stay here again! ##### Bethany P. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ginger C. 15 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Private Pool Dog Friendly Ideal property if you are traveling with extended family, friends or pets. This duplex is rented as one unit. It’s a nice blend of privacy and connection. There is an internal door connecting the two units. We enjoyed the pool and walking in the neighborhood. Our favorite spot on the property was the fire pit in the natural surroundings of the oak trees. Beautiful natural wooded beach habitat that you rarely see anymore. ##### Ginger C.
