The house was a perfect size for 5 children and 4 adults. The pool was warm and the house was clean. Any time there was an issue, the property responded quickly and helpfully. The walk to the beach was very quick, although traffic on 30A can be busy, so be careful letting kids go alone. We loved the location, close enough to things but not overly crowded with people. We will definitely rent again. ##### Heidi H. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna S. 25 Jan 2026 ##### Donna S. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ---
