Perfect all around
Just the spot to rest and relax. Our stay was not nearly as long as we would have liked, but everything was just as we were told. Just what we wanted with the beach handy for numerous trips. Easy access to Time Square with many choices of restaurants and shops.

Everything you need for a great vacation
The house is perfect for a family or mixed group. Everything you need including beach chairs, umbrella and toys. Pool was clean and warm!! Thanks to the hurricane we have clear unobstructed views of the Gulf and steps away from the beach.

Beach view
Nice property and pool. There was a pest issue that should have been communicated to us before arriving. Good location and pool was good and heated which was great. I would stay again.

Filthy area, rats in the house
We discovered there were rats in the house, which the property management knew about and didn't disclose. The pics online show a pristine clean area. This was NOT the case. We had to fill the pool ourselves as the level was far below the skimmer. The indoor pictures make it look so much nicer than it actually was. Very unhappy. I had to message many times before getting any response.

Family Vacation
Our family had a group of 11, 3 of the 11 being younger children. The house was plenty big enough for everyone! No one felt like they were crammed in or tripping over each other. The kids enjoyed the pool daily. The home was clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. The best part it was only a short walk to the beach! Our family thanks you for sharing your piece of paradise with us for the week!

Bring your bug spray
Hope to never rent another property through VRBO that is managed by Coastal Vacations Properties. Property had ants inside and out. We reported it shortly after checkin on Saturday but no one ever came to spray for them. Property has numerous other problems - roof leak, poor supplies, very slow ice maker, leaking shower, wasn’t cleaned very well, etc. Also has refrigerant leak on AC and no routine maintenance of air filters so be prepared for high temps upstairs. They did take care of AC but it took all day to get it done. Also mold in garage partially hidden by all boxes and furniture stored there.

Perfect get away spot
The property has the perfect layout and space for a group of 8 adults or more. It was completely and I mean completely clean. Ownership was very professional and friendly. It's a perfect getaway steps from white sand beeches and fun dinner and drinks spots. I would rent it again for sure.

Awesome property and location!
This is a perfect property for a large family or multiple families! The kitchen is spacious and is open to the great room and dining area. The pool is the perfect size and has both sun and shade throughout the day. It's a short walk to the beach as well! I would definitely stay here again! ")

The only shortcoming was the lack of sufficient kitchen accessories to accommodate a group of 8 staying at the house, e.g., plates, bowls, cups, glasses, pots, pans, etc. Everything else was terrific!
