Amazing Week With Family
The Flamingo suited our needs just perfectly. The house is well cared for and was spacious enough to accommodate 15 people. The beach was just a short walk to get there and the 6 person golf cart came in handy for loading our coolers and beach chairs. Management was very attentive to any questions or concerns we had and responded immediately. It was a wonderful vacation for our family.

WOW is all I have to say! This property was the first, of all our family vacations, that was able to accommodate to ALL of our needs and request. We traveled with 14 people. Every couple had their own space, their own bathroom, space to park their own cars. The house was bright, clean, and most importantly, stayed cold during the prime summer heat!! 2 minute walk to beach and across the highway from Whole Foods, Publix, Bass Pro Shop, plenty of restaurants! Will DEFINITELY be booking this house next summer!

Excellent Property and Location
Great home with fantastic layout (kids at 3rd level, bedrooms on second, and 2 bedrooms on the first floor). Peaceful and not a lot of traffic. Only a few minutes walk from the beach or less than 2 minutes with the golf cart. Home is new, clean, modern. Enjoyed our stay!

Great Location
This property couldn’t have been in a better location! A short stroll to the beach was perfect! The bunk room on the 3rd floor was perfect for the children to enjoy and the seating area was near for the adults to watch. The kitchen is stocked with lots of cook wear to make great meals for your family. The only downside is there were not enough towels for everyone to bathe so we had to go purchase some from Walmart. Also, the pool area is small and didn’t have much room for outdoors lounging. However, overall it was a wonderful stay and we would go back!
