Excellent Beach townhouse!!! You will not want to leave!!!

To summarize, this home is amazing and the hosts are excellent!! We stayed for four days/3nights. The rooms were beautifully decorated and the beds were all to the level of comfort we experience at home. The home is well furnished with almost everything you could imagine needing for trips to the beach or staying home and playing in the pool or games in the game room. The kitchen, bathrooms and laundry rooms are all furnished with anything you need!! I have never had a better experience and communication was very easy!!!

Fun family vacation

What a nice place. It was only about 1-2 block walk to the beach, has a heated pool that we paid for prior to coming which was very nice, has plenty of room for family and friends inside, the upstairs loft has a dart board and Foosball table, and the garage has Beach items to use. The owner has great communication. We had an issue come up at the place, which the owner worked hard to help decrease the issue and was kind. We would stay here again and also recommend it to others.

Excellent Location/Home

I have been renting beach homes in PCB for over 10 years and this is my new favorite. We had 12 people and everyone had plenty of room. The house had everything we needed to cook meals and there were even pool and beach toys including chairs and umbrellas. Great location...less than 3 minute walk to beach. The pool was amazing and so relaxing. We will definitely be back...10 out of 10

SB '24 Success!

It had been 30+ years since last visiting PCB and was excited to take my kids to show them where I used to spend Spring Breaks. A lot has changed but we were beyond impressed with our stay. The house was very well kept, amenities and all the "little things" (the stuff you usually forget when packing) were there and well thought out. Owner knows exactly how a family travels and when things are needed that you often forget. Beds were very comfy, location to the beach was PERFECT and location of the house in comparison to other higher traffic areas was fantastic. We never felt like we were in a crowd - which is how you want your days at the beach to be! If we find ourselves coming back to PCB, this will be our FIRST pick, hands down. The owner was VERY fast in responding to questions or needs and very thoughtful all around. Wonderful stay!!

Went down to PCB for a long weekend with a big group of friends, and this house was perfect! Short walk to the beach, plenty of comfy bedspace for adults, and plenty of room with a nice small private pool! Really great place to stay for a really great price too. Communication with the owner was also really fantastic, they were quick to respond to questions, and were able to help return some headphones that got left behind.

Spring Break Week

We agreed to take our daughter (high school senior) and her 3 close friends to florida for spring break. This house was perfect. We had my husband and I, our two sons and a friend (20, 20 & 15) and daughter and her 3 friends (all 18). This house gave everyone enough space, especially my husband and I! The loft area above was perfect for my husband to take some meetings and work some during the day but also serve as another space for games and the kids to hangout. Rooms and beds are perfect for small groups. The kitchen is laid out well, and very well stocked for anything you would need to cook. The house had more than enough stocked for the first couple days. The backyard is small, but pool is a perfect size. Since it was the first week of April, and weather is unpredictable, we opted to pay a small fee to heat the pool. So glad we did! While the weather was low 80s, the pool was warm and perfect temp at night. The location of the house is close enough to walk to a few restaurants but away from the strip and traffic. Also, the public beach walkway was literally around the corner. If you can’t be in the beach, this house is perfect. The beach is located in a about a 1/2 to 3/4 strip of residential properties, so it wasn’t crowded at all. While we had no issues during our stay, the owner was very helpful and responsive with any questions. She also provided us with a list of great local places to eat. We will definitely keep this property on our list for future stays!

Basic accommodations in great location

Communication with property manager was absolutely amazing and they are extremely organized. Water pump was not turned on when we arrived so toilet and shower all backed up after a few days. We were able to get it resolved the same day but no one was able to shower that morning due to issue. Cleanliness and bathroom amenities were very basic. Couches and carpets had stains, & chairs repaired with wood pieces. Bathrooms were supplied with very limited supplies which is fine for a shorter stay but had to purchase dish pods, garbage bags, and toilet paper for a full week stay. Overall great communication and location. A solid four star choice for your stay.
