We could easily have fit another family comfortably. Loved the pool and game room. Walking distance to plenty of shops, restaurants, and the beautiful beach. We were here for Spring Break and it was definitely busy, but not much that it detracted from the fun. ##### Michelle R.

Only minor complaint is that someone came in unannounced - to leave a gift of chocolates fir the holiday - very sweet - but had us feeling a little uncomfortable that someone would come in without telling us.

Has every amenity a family would need, the home is meticulously decorated, pool area is fantastic with lots of seating available. Located close to the beach, surrounded by other beautiful homes as well. We highly recommend this home. The elevator is quite useful for moving in and out. Lots of extra blankets available as well. ##### Kristen S.

A 10 minute walk to the beach, and it was so convenient because the house had beach chairs, a wagon, and umbrella. After a long day at the beach we would relax by the pool. Communication with management was excellent and we absolutely loved the concierge board they had that updated us on trash pickup, pool cleaning and recommendations for the area. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Sydnie K.

House was super clean and well stocked. The neighborhood is really quiet. Really nice neighbor lady next door we visited with a lot. Low traffic area. We stayed here a month and enjoyed every day. I would rent from here again. Mary B. ##### Red ( Mary) M. Stayed 28 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### laura K. 28 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We loved every minute! My whole family enjoyed the beautiful house and location. The kids liked the beach and bike rides, and they loved swimming in the warm pool every day and night! The kitchen was well equipped. The elevator was awesome when the grandparents visited. And the bedrooms were cozy. I would stay here again:) The only suggestion I have is to have better window shades that provided more privacy and less light in from street lights and sunrise. ##### laura K.

Everything we needed was there. Very clean and spacious. Great location! My only complaint is the living room furniture was very uncomfortable. I know that is silly for fun beaches and adventures near, but it rained a lot in the evenings and we were inside at times. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this rental. Thank you!! ##### Joanne W. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracy L. 3 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxation The house was just as posting described. Several pool & beach toys in the garage, as well as at home games. 2nd floor master bed is very firm, too firm for us. Elevator was great! ##### Tracy L. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 5 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tranquil Stay This property is just how it looks in the photos. The bedrooms are huge and the master bathroom is fantastic! We did not use the living room much as we were too busy playing ping pong or swimming in the pool. The beach is a short golf cart ride away and there is a public boat ramp 2 blocks over for vacationers bringing their boat. We loved the tranquil colors throughout the home and the elevator came in handy with unloading and loading back up. Emma and Claire were very responsive to our needs and seemed just as excited to have us there and we were to be there! We will certainly be back! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### erika s. 11 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house! We had a wonderful time renting this house. It was equipped with everything we needed. Super clean and lots of space. The kids loved the game room and the pool. The kitchen had everything we needed. Only major problem was the faucet in the kitchen had barely any pressure which made it very difficult to even do dishes. We called and it wasn’t fixed. They sent someone but no fix. That’s the only negative i have. Otherwise it was a great house! ##### erika s. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Phillip S., Chicago 6 Mar 2018 #### As good as the pictures This place is great...well decorated, maintained and furnished. Pool was refreshing and the setting was nicely laid out. You get morning and afternoon sun on both the front and rear sides of the house. Elevator was helpful for "move in and move out" purposes, but did not use for anything other than that. They have a great supply of pool and beach toys and essentials in the garage...wagon, umbrella, beach blanket, towels etc. Ten minute walk to beach. Kitchen appliances and utensils were new and most adequate for the tasks necessary when cooking. Rear balcony is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner sitting outside and overlooking the pool. Management staff...Emma and Claire were responsive and helpful when needed. Absolutely no complaints. Phil and Gail Chicago ##### Phillip S.

We love walking to the Ugly Grouper and feasting on the best coconut shrimp ever. House has a very nice lay out, especially traveling with teens. The master is on the second floor next to the kitchen and the kids bedrooms are on the third floor. Everyone gets a little privacy. My only complaint is that the internet keep failing and because of local construction the power keep flickering and at one point went out for an hour. The power company was fast to reply and repairs were made very quickly. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia W. 1 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best Florida vacation ever! This was the best Florida beach vacation we have ever been on. The house was beautiful, spacious and well equipped. Management was great to deal with and helped by providing a digital info board to help find restaurants, rentals and tours. We just wish we could stay longer. ##### Patricia W.
