Amazing property in a quiet area close to everything
We loved our stay at this house. We fed the turtles from the backyard. The bunks upstairs were perfect for our boys. They loved their room and had their stuffed animals on their own beds and played "sleepover" with them! We used the golf carts to go get food from publix, go to eat, go to the beach, go to the pool, etc. We loved not having to go out on the main road! Everything was very convenient having the golf carts. The outlets were right near by but you have to use your car. The shops, restaurants, and farmers market on Grand could be assessed with the golf carts which was way more convenient! The house was super clean and cozy. It was easy to take a walk. We definitely recommend this property! Had a great stay and will be back!

Excellent vacation selection
Russell Vacation Rentals was top notch with communication and details. The community is amazing - you can take the golf carts to literally anything you need: groceries, restaurants, shopping, beach, or the harbor. This resort was the perfect location for relaxation near the links and the water. Fantastic amenities, strong water pressure, and comfortable beds. Definitely recommended.
