I would highly recommend this property for large families or multi-family trips, especially for adults or if you have older children that can really take advantage of the separate living spaces. We loved having the enclosed pool for the kids and you can’t beat the ease of access to the beach and all the local restaurants and shops, etc. We all enjoyed the trip and will definitely be back!

The pool area could've used so extra attention. Be prepared to fight water roaches if you decide to use the pool in the evening. Additionally, roaches were found in the utensils drawer in the common area and in a couple of the other rooms. They need to invest in pest control. The rooms were roomy but the layout of the house was different than expected but that wasn't a deal breaker.

This house was perfect. Loved how each room had its own privacy (everything except 2 rooms are separated). Each room had its own little kitchenette area, fridge and bathroom and are completely seperate little units. It was perfect for my son’s birthday or a family trip. The pool was a nice addition, lots of outdoor space to enjoy!

Great property! Close to everything!

This was a great property that was conveniently located so close to everything in town. There were four main sections that each had their own fridges and living spaces, which was perfect for balancing the needs of different groups in our family. Check-in and out were a breeze and the host had excellent communication. Will definitely rent from this property management group again!

This is an amazing place to stay with friends and family. The layout is pretty cool, it’s like four condos under one roof. It worked so well for our group and gave everyone more privacy. Each room has its own bathroom which made it so nice. Everything was clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay again.

Family Beach Trip

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this house. It allowed separate spaces for all family members and also good living/kitchen spaces to gather as well. The pool was a great asset along with the lift that could move luggage and groceries to the 2nd floor. Kitchen was well-stocked. The furniture was quite comfortable. The picnic table in the breezeway was a good outdoor dining option. The house was located between 2 beach access roads and was a short distance to restaurants and shopping.

Awesome spot!

This property was perfect for myself, my husband and several of our friends. The bedrooms were mostly separated into their own units with at least one bathroom and a kitchenette which was a fantastic set up for us. Beach was only a short golf cart ride away and the main kitchen/house had everything we needed to gather as a group for mealtimes and evening times. Highly recommend!

Family get together

The property was wonderful for everyone having their own space but still having a large area for everyone to gather. We loved the pool. It was perfect for small children with a shallow end that they can stand up in and steps on both end and in the middle. We loved all the areas that the family could gather outside and the large living area inside. We will definitely book the house again.

Beautiful Home

Beautiful home! We were so comfortable during our stay. We had a couple of rain days so being comfortable was important! The living/kitchen/dining room was spacious and comfortable. There isn’t direct access to the beach, but we were really close via car and/or golf cart. The kitchen was nicely stocked. We cooked several times during our stay and we had everything we needed (even for a large shrimp boil). We enjoyed our stay!
