Magical stay!

Your home was just right in every way. So homey, so well-appointed and so well-located. We came frequently to SB for years to stay with family in Hope Ranch and had not been back for some time. Hendry's Beach was one of our spots. We felt so fortunate to have found your place - we were reminded of all of the old times, and made new memories too! Thank you so much!

Wonderful girls getaway for Mother's Day!

All six of us girls had planned this house for a girls' getaway for Mother's Day! The house did not disappoint and was well stocked with household items. The house and property is expansive and allows plenty of individual space if needed. A big plus is its location which is directly across the street from the restaurant, beach, hiking trails and the community is not far. We will definitely consider staying here in the future.

Gorgeous home, absolutely fantastic location, and a truly wonderful experience working with the property company Paradise Retreats. This home is perfect for families, friends, groups, whatever! It's less than 10 minutes from everything, and the Boathouse restaurant and beach across the street are incredible. As we were leaving I was looking up when we could next return. Thank you for an excellent experience, and thank you to Paradise Retreats for all of your incredible help!

Sea Change

Excellent location. We loved walking on the beach every day. Great beach toys and equipment provided. Interior furnishings were adequate but not commensurate with the price paid to rent this house. The electrical system in the master bedroom and closet did not always work which was very frustrating. The address at the street was obscured by tall weeds (that we pulled out) which seemed in line with the overall feeling of the house- a bit neglected.

Fantastic House, Superb Location

This is an amazing home in a fabulous location. The beds were comfy, the house was clean and beautifully and eclectically decorated! We loved all the art, decor, and overall personality the property has. And the property, WOW! The kind of place you wish you could call your own. From sitting in the hot tub in the backyard looking out towards the ocean you have a gorgeous green mountainside and palm trees in the distance, I felt like I was in Costa Rica; absolutely breathtaking. Enormous front yard for the kids to run around on, and the hot tub in the backyard, there really is something for everyone. And speaking of having everything the house certainly does! Step stools for little kids to reach sinks, a baby Bjorn pack & play, a high chair, lots of kids plates, and if you don’t have kids it still has everything you’d need to cook a great meal. (Also for anyone traveling with a kid who sleeps in a pack & play, there is a walk-in closet in the master bedroom that was easily big enough for the P&P, giving our toddler his own nice dark room!) Already daydreaming of the next trip we can take to stay here, it was an absolute dream!

Great location, but mixed bag

We liked the location of this property, the well stocked kitchen and comfort of the beds. A few other things make for my comment of mixed bag. The furniture on the main floor was in poor condition. Especially in the living room with a worn couch and chairs that were too low to the ground for my in-laws. The excessive warnings about beach tar and the condition of Hendry beach really didn’t lend themselves to walking or swimming. The hot tub was in poor condition and looked unused for quite some time. And lastly exiting the property via car or foot is treacherous to say the least. Overall just not worth the money.

This property is truly an escape. The large property has a private feeling despite being right across from the beach. The house was cool and restful, and the hills beside it were full of birds and wildlife. We enjoyed swimming in the ocean at a beautiful beach seeing happy dogs. It was truly a wonderful place to reconnect with family and share old memories. Thank you!
