the house has every possible amenity, kitchen supplies, appliances, two refrigerators, storage space, etc. the layout is great for a large extended family, the pool is beautiful, and the short distance to the beach is great for small kids needing to go back and forth to the house. the master bedroom bed is the most comfortable I've ever slept on, amazing night sleep every night :)

This home had everything we were hoping for. It is close to the beach, it has ample bedrooms, it has a great pool. We enjoyed the screened in porch and you could always find a nice breeze on one of the decks. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything you needed.

House was beautiful and well organized. We loved being so close to the beach which we practically had to ourselves everyday! We can't wait to go again!

Our family of 10 (six adults and four children) were very comfortable inside and outside the house. It's a quiet street with an easy walk to the beach. We're planning our return!

This was a well stocked and equipped vacation home! Everything you needed was in the kitchen and frankly all of the fun extras, too! Who has pool floats that are fun and still in working course durian by end of August! It was a very homey, and family friendly stay, with a touch of warmth and love throughout the house. Definitely coming back.

Amazing! The wrap around deck/porches, the pool,the hot tub, the large spacious gathering space, close proximity to private beach access --- the house is beautiful and everything was perfect. The closet was packed full of everything we needed --beach fun for the littles, fishing rods. boards for water fun, and umbrellas/chairs for relaxing on the beach. Life happens and even when there was an unexpected maintenance issue, they were fast and very responsive, making sure we were well cared for and all was remedied quickly. We especially loved the signs all over the house with biblical verses!

Definitely a rental we will book again.
