This may have been our favorite VRBO stay ever. Nancy, the host, was helpful and welcoming. There was plenty of room for our large group. The grounds and pool area were beautiful. The home was well-stocked, including plenty of beach and pool toys, and baby items. Best of all, the location was stunning. We didn’t have to leave the premises to enjoy spectacular, close-up ocean views.

My family and a couple friends had a wonderful stay at this property. The place was comfortable, private, and had a lot of amenities you'd take for granted at a hotel or resort. It was also conveniently located near a main road and grocery store. Highly recommended.

We held a family retreat for three generations and could not have enjoyed our stay more. The house is beautiful, the view even better and the pool was so enjoyable. Nancy was a fantastic host and we would go back in a heartbeat.

We loved the house, it suited us perfectly with 10 adults and 4 kids. The bunk beds were great. Beds were comfortable. The yard and pool kept the kids so busy, it was enjoyable for us to watch them. The volleyball net was a bonus, we had a tournament which all of us partipated in. The kitchen and dining room table was perfect. And all the patio tables outside was enough room for all of us.We would definately return in the future. Thanks so much for everything.

The sunsets were amazing from this property. I truly enjoyed watching them every night. There were 13 family members staying at the house and there was plenty of room. Being my 60th birthday, my husband and I had the master bedroom. I thought it was fantastic, especially the lanai. Nancy was quick to respond with any questions. I would definitely recommend staying here.
