This pet-friendly, five-bedroom, four-bath home comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests, making it the ideal destination for large families or groups looking to enjoy a coastal escape with direct beach access—just steps from the sand.

Wake up to stunning Gulf views and unwind on one of the many balconies that overlook the water. Pirates Beach Retreat offers multiple outdoor seating areas to relax and take in the sea breeze. Sip your morning coffee from the enclosed balcony off the dining area or enjoy the evening sunset from a private balcony attached to one of the two luxurious primary suites.

Milam family vacation

The pictures of the house on the webdite do not reflect the reality of the house. There was completely different furniture, a king size bed was totally missing so 2 people had to sleep on the floor. The floor had nails sticking up and duct tape all over the house to hold the floor down. The house sways as if the foundation is not stable. There was broken concrete on the driveway that caused my granddaughter to fall and twist her knee. The “screened in” porch had no screens on it.

This was a complete let down of a home. The pictures are not what you get. Floor is coming up in severalPlaces and duct tape used in places to “hold down” flooring. Carpet in bathroom and no shower curtain for bathtub. Mold in room. Peeling paint in home. Air conditioner would go up to 80 degrees in the night and would wake up sweating. Door did not lock. Water pooped through vent in downstairs bathroom. Tried to reach someone and no one would call back.
