The house was nice. ....One down size to us was the owner did not want "frying"in the kitchen. Well sometimes we like something fried for a sandwich,etc. We like to cook most of our meals at some point probably includes frying....but didn't know this until after we had booked it (instructions from owner)..... Then the back yard was not cut so we didn't use the grills.....

We try to attend PCB’s bike rally each year and this is my favorite place to stay thus far. It is beautifully decorated, clean, and fully stocked. Beds were comfortable and the sheets were luxurious…. Would love some for my own home. Terri was available and responsive when needed. We will definitely try to come back next trip. Becky and Lewis

Lovely Beach House

This is a very lovely beach house!! It has everything you need in the kitchen for preparing a meal. Especially loved have a Keurig!! The pictures are just as the house is with the exception of the backyard. Pictures show shades around the gazebo but there were none. We wanted to grill one night but the tank was empty....which we were told up front that it was a possibility that it might be empty. We just didn't really want to pay for a full tank & leave it as that can get expensive. All in all, we had a wonderful time & would certainly consider staying there again. Terri was so easy to work with always responded quickly to any questions we had! Wonderful beach trip!!

Emerald Coast Cruizin

We enjoyed our stay and the house was very well maintained and stocked. We went for Emerald Coast Cruizin car show but unfortunately the weather was pretty wet and our Mustang wiper motor quit so we didn't bring it. We decided to just go and enjoy the time away. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and not far from the beach and the venue. All and all a very comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Wonderful!

We had an amazing stay here! The house was incredibly clean— I can be picky about cleanliness and I was thoroughly impressed! I can tell that Terri takes pride in her properties and makes sure everything is clean and orderly. We had no issues walking to the beach with our kids (ages 6 and 4) and the house felt very welcoming and homey— just the right amount of beach decor without going overboard. We definitely hope to stay here again and again!

Quite Cozy

I have to say that we were 100% pleased with the house and the owner's. Checked in Thursday evening, sent owner an email at 6:00am (Friday) to let her know that the A/C unit outside fan was not coming on. Told her that we were going deep sea fishing but that if she needed access to the house that my dog would be there and that she is friendly. Literally, by the time we got back from fishing, she already had someone out to look at the A/C. I would rent this home again.
