Our family traveled from upper midwest to enjoy a family vacation and this home met all our expectations and more!The home itself was very welcoming, spotless, and beautifully decorated to give the sense of beachy, relaxing vibes. Kitchen was well stocked with all that we needed to prepare meals. Ordering groceries for delivery was a breeze!The salt pool and spa was absolutely heavenly! Many hours of fun were spent in the pool. The neighborhood was family oriented, peaceful and private with the beach just a short walk away. Everyone we encountered was friendly and respectful. We were able to have family photos taken at sunset at Henderson Beach State Park which was equally as amazing and wonderful. Mitch & Susan were wonderful hosts! They take great pride in their home and in making sure their guests have a remarkable experience so lifetime memories can be made. They made this trip easy. Mitch & Susan take the extra time to offer all the accessories to enjoy the beach, games for the house, and in preparing a guide of recommendations of local attractions and restaurants, which was super helpful. Our family was able to enjoy all the local attractions just a short drive away from the house.Their responsiveness to all communications, their helpful tips and recommendations sure enhanced our vacation experience and we are forever grateful! We would highly recommend this beautiful home and Mitch & Susan as hosts! We hope to return again!

Great house

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect for our needs. The hot tub and pool was amazing. Four couples stayed together in the house. We each had our own bedroom and bath. Everything was clean and comfortable. The hosts were in communication with us the entire time to ensure our needs were met. They had beach equipment on hand. It was conveniently located to shopping.

Susan & Mitch’s home is simply incredible. Beautiful, spacious, and an excellent location. About a 2 minute walk from the beach and about 6 minutes from my the grocery store, lovely surrounding restaurants as well. I booked a trip for my mom and dad to celebrate their 40th anniversary and they loved every moment of it. Communication between hosts was nothing short of amazing. I definitely recommend their home and would book again in the future.

Perfect house for a family

There were 8 adults in our group and this house was perfect! There were 3 couples so the en suite bathrooms were perfect. The pool was a great size that we all enjoyed after spending a few hours at the beach. The house was fully stocked with toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher pods and laundry pods. This was for sure one of our favorite vacation houses!

The property was located in true walking distance to the beach! The house was stocked with essentials bath soap, shampoo, paper towels, dish tablets where we didn’t have to purchase. Also outdoor essentials were a big hit! The pool was great for kids! The only thing was the air didn’t cool off in certain rooms so it was a little warm.

Great Stay!

We were so impressed with this place from the moment we walked up. The pool and hot tub were so nice to have and provided hours of entertainment. Inside the house is tastefully decorated and so spacious. Everyone had space to hang out and we loved the bedrooms with their own bathrooms. The host was great and was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. The first morning we noticed the coffee pot was not working properly, but since there was a Keurig as well we informed them, but told them it was not necessary to replace as we could use the Keurig instead. They went above and beyond, not only bringing over a brand new coffee pot, but a bag full of goodies for the inconvenience. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and hope to stay here again. Thank you so much for the wonder stay!
