We enjoyed our stay so much. There is plenty of room and great views. We enjoyed being on the “less busy” part of the beach. I saw dolphins every morning from the decks. The house was very clean upon arrival. We had great communication with our host. We would love to come back and stay again. Highly recommend for couples or families. Great location!

Morning sunrises and evening sunsets were beautiful daily. Easy access to the beach with littles is very convenient and much more comforting to know not as many people around and traffic. The house is clean as always and typically very good and quick communication from host.

Absolutely stunning location. You are right on the beach. Sunsets are amazing. Close to lots of places to eat and things to do but it’s in a quiet area of homes. Beach is very private and we mostly had it to ourselves. House is very comfortable and kitchen is well equipped. I loved the multiple covered decks overlooking the Gulf.

Great stay

We had a great stay! We accidentally booked during the hangout festival, and were worried the beach would be super crowded however, this location felt like we had a private beach area even with the festival going on only about 2 miles away. We will definitely stay here again.
