Our hosts were kind, responsive to any of our needs and a wealth of information about the area. The unit was well furnished and stocked with anything we could have needed, from beach towels to even some laundry detergent for the roomy washer and dryer. This was probably to most comfortable rental we have ever spent a full week in through VRBO. We highly recommend it and look forward to returning in the future:) ##### Inez H. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sue N., Cincinnati 16 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Holmes Beach small condo Castnetter 5 was a comfortable home away from home during our 6 week stay. Easy walking to the beach (across a busy street but near a crosswalk), a shared pool that often felt like our private pool, clean and generally updated accommodations. Castnetter 5 is up one flight of steps which affords a view of the Gulf from its large deck (could use some fresh paint there but plenty of outdoor furniture.) Alan was very responsive and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. ##### Sue N.
