We do staycations often in the area. We have always chosen different homes. I have now found my forever staycation home. Amenities are just like the pictures, the inside is immaculate. Views are amazing, beds are comfortable I can’t brag on this one enough. Let me do you a favor…. Look no further!

The sunrises and sunsets were incredible. The home perfect for my family. My parents in their 80's were able to handle the stairs. The railings were great because they were on both sides. The hot tub holds a group. The house was clean with furniture you could all sit on. We played games did puzzels and cooked. highly recommend!

Great hosts but property not quite what we expected

The host was incredibly responsive and communication was seamless! The questions or concerns we had were addressed promptly, which we truly appreciated.That said, the property itself didn’t quite meet our expectations when it came to cleanliness and overall condition. There were noticeable stains on the carpets and furniture, damaged blinds, and general wear and tear that made the space feel more dated than the listing photos suggest . We understand it’s a beach house and some wear is to be expected, but the level of upkeep fell a bit short, especially given the price. Despite these issues, the house still served its purpose, and we enjoyed our time together as a family. With a more thorough cleaning and a few updates, this property could really shine.

“Let’s go girls”

We had the most amazing girls’ weekend getaway to celebrate our mother’s birthday and Mother’s Day! The property was absolutely incredible — packed with amenities and just steps (literally about 5 feet!) from the beach. We spent so much time enjoying the oversized jacuzzi, relaxing on the porch swings, and gathering around the fire pit.We had six friends staying two houses down, and when they came over for dinner one night, they couldn’t stop complimenting the house and the setup. Our mom even said it was the best vacation she’s ever had — and she meant it!The only downside was that the jacuzzi seemed to have a bit too much chlorine at first. Three out of four of us developed what looked like chlorine rashes on our arms and legs, and it was uncomfortable to get back in until we removed the floating chlorine dispenser for a day. After that, it was smooth sailing again.Despite that small hiccup, we absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be returning! Highly recommend!

Amazing Views

Beautiful sunrises. There are a few things that need to be fixed and it would've been perfect. The missing shade in the LR (sun will blind you), and the faucet in the MBth shower. Would definitely stay again. Our kids and grandkids loved it! Great stay!

Family fall trip

Beach was very clean, great surf fishing, swim spa was amazing, and when we had any questions the owners were fast to respond. This was a needed trip for my boys after losing their father in the spring. We had a great time connecting and being with nature. Great trip!

Location only good thing

Being BEACHFRONT was absolutely our favorite thing about this property!! Several things were blamed on the tropical storm that occurred several weeks earlier prior to our stay- such as no internet/Wi-Fi, having to reset the hot water heater, no golf balls for the putting green etc...

The lay out of the living area was good. Lay out of all bedrooms upstairs was good. Nice to have full bathrooms upstairs. The spa/pool was a hit for all ages. The totally fenced in ground area was great for keeping up with our kids. Would recommend this beach house. Can’t beat this front row beach view!

House had dog feces and urine everywhere!!!!!

House was filthy and unfit for my grandchild. The rugs all had dog or cat feces and urine on them. Dog hair was all over the furniture. Even puddles of urine on the stairs. Very, very unsanitary for adults and children.
