Really enjoyed our stay
We loved the charm of this older home, but loved that it has been totally updated and the decor was fresh. Pool was amazing, location was perfect. It is not 5 bedrooms, just 4. But we made it work.

Family get away
The overall check in was amazing, the host communicated throughout our trip. The refrigerator in kitchen kepted reading high temp, but it wasn't an issue since there was a backup in wash room. The kids love the pool and it was literally a short walk to the beach. We had a great time.

Amazing beach house!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We had a total of 9 guests, both kids and adults. Super close to the beach, about a block away from the Seawall. Easy walk to Murdoch's and Pleasure Pier. Great layout inside the house and awesome heated pool. Will definitely be coming back here!

Fantastic beach house
Me and my family had a wonderful stay at Island Time Poolside. This house is newly renovated and is spectacular. The home is very spacious with plenty of room for a large group and has 4 full bathrooms. The kitchen is well equipped and the backyard is lovely with the heated pool. The location is very convenient as its a short walk to the beach on the seawall, local attractions ,dining and shops. The host was quick to respond to any questions we had, Keith was very nice and went above and beyond . We 100% recommend staying here and we would love to come back. You will not be disappointed.
