House was beautiful but the main refrigerator as not working properly and we did not notice until the next day when the stuff in the freezer had all melted. A new one was installed the last day. The bunk rooms were very small although they did sleep the number advertised. All in all it was a good not great experience.

This House worked Great for us
We gathered family for a week and all worked out great! The home is well located and was laid out well. Kitchen had items we needed. Kids enjoyed the arcade games. The pool was cleaned during the week. The golf cart was great for shuttling folks down to beach. We would stay here again!

Had an amazing stay! Super easy to communicate with the owners when needed. The only issue we had is the freezer not working and it ended up ruining some of our groceries. I immediately emailed the staff and not only did they bring us an entire new fridge but also offered to refund us on the groceries that were ruined. I was extremely impressed with how fast and kind they were throughout the week. I also noticed the pool needing some chemicals put in half way throughout the week, and all it took was a quick email and they sent a pool guy right out to clean it! Great location, very clean, and overall an amazing stay with GREAT staff. 100% recommend for a family vacation.

Buffalo in the House
We were a group of 18, 4 families for our annual spring break trip. The house was exactly how it shows in the pictures, having multiple king suites was perfect for all of the adults, and the two bunk rooms were just what the kids needed. The pool was a really good size for a rental, and lots of lounge chairs in the yard and plenty of umbrellas for shade. The walk to the beach was under 10 minutes, very easy. I would have expected at the house would've had a little more leftover things from previous families, little things that would've been helpful like saran wrap, Tupperware containers, the house had a lot of empty cabinets. We left a lot of things we purchased for the next family thank you

We were in Florida for our son’s wedding. We chose this place because of how perfect the room arrangements matched what we needed. Nice setup with the private, separate 2 rooms and den on the third floor and so many 2nd floor rooms with king beds. The place was really clean when we arrived. The golfcart was a great plus. Our family and friends really liked this house for us. Very happy!!

Fantastic Property & Location
We had a great experience staying at the Groovy Goat. The living/kitchen/dining room is even more spacious than it looks in the pictures. The beds were very comfortable and the house is ideal for large groups. We spent a lot of our time at the house in the heated pool and hot tub, which were the perfect temperature for late February. There’s a great coffee shop and a breakfast shop that are next to each other within walking distance from the house. I would 100% rent this house again.

Luxury stay
From the time you open the door until you tour all 3 stories, this house is beautiful & very clean. We had 11 adults & 3 children ages 2 years to 10 years old & everyone was comfortable & could go to their own private space when needed. Approx 1/4 easy mile walk to beach with a private gated entrance. Fully stocked kitchen with an awesome ice maker!! Beds very comfortable. Nice, quiet neighborhood. Golf cart so fun to ride around. Close to Pompano Joe's which serves delicious food. Theyre seafood nachos were great! Pool & hot tub were awesome & we had a blast visiting in & around pool.

Birthday Celebration Getaway
The house was fantastic and fit all of our vacation needs to a "T". Although we made it work having 5 families there we wish we had a bit more parking as only 4 cars could park but that was minor considering all of the other amenities. The bunk rooms were a perfect fit as we had 4 girls and 7 boys and having large bunks worked great. When 20+ people need to eat in one place, the kitchen cooking area and seating was fabulous. Little things like a separate ice maker and even a second kitchen up on the third floor really worked well. It was sooooo helpful not having to lug pool toys with us to the home since the home was very adequately outfitted.

Absolutely Amazing!!!
This beautiful home far exceeded our expectations. The communication before and during was A+. It was bright and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed to comfortably cook for 15 people. The bedrooms are huge, king suites with large bathrooms. The bunk rooms are full size beds. TV’s in every room and the kids loved the arcade games. If anyone is “uncomfortable” in this home they have a problem 😂. The pool area was wonderful after coming back from the beach. Lots of amenities nearby (grocery, restaurants, etc.) The golf cart was amazing for shuttling everyone back and forth to the beach. Don’t hesitate to book, I promise you won’t be disappointed. We will definitely be back.

Great Pool Area
Pool area was great,with the screened porch providing a nice "in between" space while drying off The house was very nice and suitable for family casual living. But, it was difficult for some in party to manage getting around between the three floors, even families with toddlers. The on site high chair and baby gate was definitely a plus.The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and pans for cooking. It would have been nice to have the bathroom linens already distributed to all the bathrooms so we didn't have to carry towels between floors for the initial setup. .Unlike the site photo showing undeveloped land adjacent to the house,it is definitely completely built out all around the property. We had an issue with noisy neighbors next door after midnight one night. Had to finally complain to local authorities. Parking was somewhat limited considering how large the house was and how many families would be staying there.

Roomy Home
We loved the idea that it could accommodate us so well. Each couple was able to have their own bedroom and bath. Actually the big pool and hot tub was what sold us on this rental. We did have some issues with the hot tub as far as the jets and heating which property manager got back with us after a few days. There seems to be some confusion with this rental as to needing to tell them specifically that you want the jets and heat on for the hot tub. Anytime we have ever rented a vacation home with a hot tub before that was a given. What’s a hot tub without heat? Just wanted to let others know who may be renting this in the future.
Another discrepancy was the bath towels. There was suppose to be two per person which upon arrival we were 6 short. We did contact property manager who told me they figure 1 1/2 towel per person. 🤔 He did come and give us what we were missing promptly. There were some maintenance issues that needed attention which we told the property manager and hopefully they were taken care of when we left.
Overall we did enjoy being here.

Great Home!
We loved our vacation in this home. The property was beautiful. The beach was a short ride from the home. The pool was amazing and very toddler friendly! The interior of the home was spacious and beautiful!
Just a couple of quick notes:
1. The listing led us to believe that pool heat was an additional charge, but the hot tub heat was included. The property manager made good on that miscommunication, but renter be aware of this!
2. The breaker for the outlet at coffee bar would trip when we turned on the provided Keurig. Not sure what was happening there, and there wasn’t time for an electrician to come out during our stay.
3. The home boasts 8 bath, but it’s really 7.5 bath. 5 king masters, 1 king bed sharing a hall bath with bunk rooms on the 3rd floor, and a hall bath on the 2nd floor for the bunk room. 4 of the bathrooms have tub/showers, convenient for toddler baths. The other 3 are showers only.
Overall: would recommend and would return!

Great House
House was perfect. Pool was big compared to most we have stayed in. House was very clean, plenty of bath towels. Perfect for large groups. The only downside is the beach access. There are stairs instead of a ramp so not easy to carry things to the beach or use a wagon.
