Great Last Minute Booking
We enjoyed this short stay. The house was clean and very new, with a pool in the fenced-in yard. Grass hadn't been cut for awhile, but our 2 dogs didn't mind as they had room to run. The house was very comfortable and stayed cool as the outside temps grew warmer. This was our first stay in the Gulf Place area. There's numerous great restaurants nearby and the beach is close too - although we stayed by the pool with the dogs. The Property Manager was a great help getting us in a few hours early as we moved in from another rental in Seacrest Beach. Andy was quick to respond to any questions we had during our stay. This was a 5 star stay and we were very happy with the accommodations.
