Several restaurants in walking distance too. The house was a perfect size. Everyone had plenty of room and lots of beds. Our stay was 9 nights and a couple of those nights we had family visit and the house accommodated everyone comfortably, but the majority of the time it was just the 3 of us and was still the perfect size. ##### Marlou C.

The property location offers easy access to the beach & local dining within walking distance. The beach wagon & chairs came in handy. We bought an umbrella & left it at the property for the next guests to enjoy. Everything you may need was provided. I highly recommend this property. There's only 2 small things I would like to suggest. The pictures on VRBO may need updated. The pictures listed outside & inside are different in person. Also there was not a blowdryer as indicated in the description. Like I said these were too minor things. Overall, excellent place to stay! Would definitely stay again! ##### Lisa M.

The location was ideal with a very very short walk to the beach. It is on a quiet dead end road with only 4 other homes. With the studio apartment, trundles, and open floor plan, you could easily and comfortably sleep 13+! We loved the botanical gardens and nature parks close by as well as the amazing restaurants and ice cream shops. Owner was incredibly responsive and helpful! We hope to stay here again the next time we come to Florida! ##### AJ H.

This place was a wonderful escape for the week, nice and close to the beach and so many great shopping places but still tucked away and felt like you were away from the city. The guest house definitely has a musty smell to it and the house itself could use some new furniture and a refresh but it served our needs well! The owners were super responsive and quick to respond to any needs or questions, thanks for a fantastic week!! ##### Ruth V. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Marla M. 31 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a great stay overall and would recommend this home—with a few caveats. The main house was beautiful, much larger than expected, very clean, and beautifully decorated. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, cookware, and utensils. The location is unbeatable—just a 2-minute walk to the beach and close to restaurants, shops, and groceries.However, we booked this home for the garage apartment, which ended up being unusable due to a strong musty, mildew smell. It was clean and dry but still had an overwhelming odor. My mom couldn’t sleep there and had to stay in the main house with us. The apartment was also much smaller and barer than pictured. I notified the host on day 3, and while she offered to come check it out, no refund was offered since I didn’t report it earlier.Other issues: construction materials left under vanities and in the yard, a broken gate, and a shed with no handle that was hard to open safely. That said, the shed was well-stocked with beach gear, and we added toys for future guests. The backyard was great for the kids, and there were lots of beach towels.You are given the bare minimum basics, so if you have a large group, be prepared to purchase additional toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies, etc, and activities for kids. The AC and appliances worked great. Occasionally, there was a strong sewage smell outside, but it wasn’t constant. ##### Marla M. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025
