The home is spotless and significantly well appointed with everything you would require. Paddle boards, kayaks, beach bikes, fishing rods, and everything you can think of inside the home. The grounds are meticulously maintained and the pool is awesome. The home is large and our party of 7 had plenty of space to socialize if we wanted to and disappear if we needed some quiet time. The hosts, Steven and Whitney are super accommodating and just a pleasure to deal with. The long dock is an amazing place to fish or just go out and relax and take in the beautiful views. Great location and close to good restaurants and a grocery store. We will most definitely book again. ##### Shaun M.

We were a group of 3 generations, ranging from elderly to teenagers, enjoying a one week stay. It was the cleanest rental house our family has ever stayed in. From the moment you walk in, you can tell that the hosts take pride in this property and have thought of everything. From a fully stocked kitchen to serve and enjoy meals, to having a beautiful ocean view, along with ocean access and your own private beach, to the perfect area to relax with plenty of seating options in both the sun and shade. It has kayaks, paddle boards, and plenty of other options to entertain the kids (and kids at heart). There really is no reason to leave this house during your stay. ##### Lana S.

Our host Steve was very prompt & accommodating, his recommended support & activity staff, shopper Julia & boat captains Ray & Leah, were excellent.

Outstanding pool experience - kids & adults. Relaxing times on the pier, beautiful views, magnificent sunrises & sunsets. Game room activities were a hit for all. Walking distance to Tiki’s Sandbar & Grill - great food and music. Abundant walking/running/biking routes. Named friendly resident Iguanas (Larry, Lucy, Leonardo). Kayaks & Paddle boards added to a wonderful experience. We chose this property to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with children/spouses & grands. Definitely would book again and highly recommend as a top rated vacation spot. 5-STAR+++ ##### Robert K.

Our entire family (8 adults and 8 kids, ages 5-11) stayed at SBH last week and loved every moment!! The house and outdoor living space are even more beautiful than we could have imagined. The house is stocked with amenities, well organized, beautifully decorated but also extremely comfortable, and there was so much for us to do! The views are outstanding and we loved getting to enjoy both sunrise and sunset. We rented a boat for the week, which was made easy due to the well equipped dock, and also highly enjoyed paddleboarding and kayaking with the provided equipment. The hosts truly thought of everything, and were also very kind and helpful whenever we had questions. We have already recommended this house to several friends and cannot wait to return! ##### Amy L.

You can tell the owners put their heart into this place. Every guest loved each room. The view… it was like living in a postcard for a week. Even our Instacart deliverers wanted to take pictures of it! My husband and I got married between the palm Trees. We had only our closest family members there. We laughed, cried, danced, swam, saw a manatee at the end of the pier, and just had the time of our lives. We would absolutely love to come back and stay on this property. You won’t be disappointed. Oh, and Chef Heather, you rock! We are so blessed with so many beautiful memories from this trip. Thank you for letting us enjoy your special place! ##### Malia L.

The owners are absolutely amazing and were very attentive to questions before and during the stay. they provided us with a nice house warming gift. When we first got there it was unseasonable cold and windy. Julia did a great with area information and groceries as she was able to have our fridge stocked before we got there. The house is perfectly decorated with an amazing atmosphere, at night the pool is lit up and we had a fire going. Big beautiful kitchen. It was nice to have a bathroom in each bedroom which had shampoo, conditioner, and body soap. There was ample parking for multiple cars. It was nice to used the bikes to go on a bike ride. We did rent kayaks and paddle boards from florida keys and kayaks, which they delivered and pick up from the property. The pictures that are online do not do the property its true justice on how beautiful it was down there. We were able to have our wedding right on the property between two palm trees with the water in the back ground. we catered our wedding cake and food from Publix which was very good! we went to the turtle hospital which was a lot of fun. But the kids and the family had the most fun spending the day at the pool, playing games in the sandy back yard( football and corn hole), playing cards, relaxing enjoying the sun!!!. there was a nice fish cleaning area, as we tried to catch fish we were unsuccessful. I hand the opportunity to talk with the owner which is a great guy and their future plans for an already amazing place. future renters you will not be disappointment. I would not second guess staying here. WE WILL BE GOING BACK FOR FUTURE VACATIONS!!!!!! ##### Jason T.

The house was perfect for our group and amazingly clean. The kitchen was fully stocked (with instapot and air fryer, which got daily use). Plenty of storage containers for leftovers also. I’m super picky about beds and pillows and both were absolutely perfect. Everyone agreed that their beds were very comfortable!! We only had one complaint-we arrived on a Saturday and left on a Saturday and of the 5 week days, for 3 of them we had various ground maintenance people who would show up. We fully understand things need to be attended to but a heads up would have been appreciated. One of the days, a grounds crew was there for over 2 hours trimming the palm trees and using the wood chipper to dispose of it. Definitely not what I would have expected to deal with when paying the nightly rate we did. The house was not booked the following week so would have been nice if that had been moved to a time there were no guests. The beach area is great for wading and looking at aquatic life but that’s about it. Warning to stay in the sand area-my husband stepped where the grass was along edge and promptly sunk to mid-thigh, lost his shoe, never to be found again. The paddle board, kayaks, and bikes were great. All got plenty of use throughout the week. Two last heads up that we were slightly surprised by but not a huge issue for us. Significant flight of stairs up to property so anyone with mobility issues should be aware. Secondly, Kiki’s bar and grill, two properties down, has 7 days a week live music from 7pm-11pm. No peaceful nights sitting outside but not overly loud either-more just one of those unexpected things for the price…. All in all, I would definitely recommend this house. Had a great time with our adult children and their families. ##### Laura D.
