Great house that fit 15 people easily

Anchors Away was a great stay for all of our family. 15 people ranging from 18months to 55yrs. We were comfortable and never felt crowded. The game room was a huge hit for the grandkids...well for everyone :) The pool was smaller than I expected, BUT the kids had a Blast and that is what mattered to me. The adults and kids agreed that this was the best "Family Thanksgiving" rental so far. The location was great with an easy walk to the beach. Communication with the property management was FANTASTIC! Thanks to Katelyn for helping me when I managed to completely lock us out of the house...LOL you were a life saver. The pool/hot tub service man was even helpful and answered my questions about the hot tub! PCB Getaways were even accommodating when I emailed that my 18 month old grandson took a remote control home as a souvenir...we have the address and are returning the remote. The little criminal is currently 'doing time' on the chain gang! PCB Getaways is definitely on our list for next years Family Thanksgiving rental!

Wonderful home!

We had a large family group and all had our own rooms! We all would recommend this home to our friends and family! It was clean (with the exception of dishes in cupboard still had some food on them that didn’t come off prior to them being put away by previous guest) Trash was full when we got there and it wasn’t picked up on the day they were suppose to but we messaged and the owners came and picked it up to ensure we had place for our trash! The walk to the beach wasn’t that bad at all. The rooms were beautiful. We enjoyed the pool more than expected and was in it everyday. It was perfect since we couldn’t get in the ocean on some days due to winds. The pool was a save for the kids and adults :) Reserve this home for your vacation!!

Excellent Home & Hosts

This property was perfect for our stay at PCB. It was a very quick walk to the beach, plenty of towels, equipment and space inside and out. The game room and swimming pool was a nice bonus! The only thing small thing I would ask is that more toilet paper and trash bags be provided. The hosts are super responsive. When we arrived, we had some trouble with a few lights downstairs but the host came over the very next morning and fixed the issue within minutes. I would be grateful to stay at another one of their family owned and operated properties!

Excellent location

Great property if you're a beach person. Short walk even after a few beverages. A little strange layout of the home, so be sure to look at that housing map prior to arriving (difficult with multiple couples, our bad, not the property) Neighbors need to realize that this is a rental and not a home. Got yelled at by 8pm to "keep it down" Not the properties fault, just a tip. Game room is wonderful for those rainy days. Used the pool once, its nice, but we were there for the ocean. Overall would book again

Great Home

We loved it here. Walking distance to beach but also away from the strip, so was nice and quiet. House has several different areas so you don’t feel like your on top of each other all the time. Owners were great and checked in by email periodically. We had zero issues with property so never had to contact them but felt like. They would of responded quickly if we had issues. Would definitely go back.

We had an amazing time at this property! It was a perfect size for our 5 baseball families! Plenty of sleeping space for all 16 of us with room to spare.
