Amazing
It’s a cute small quiet little town on the coast with breath taking views of the ocean. The house was beautiful and the host was amazing. We will definitely be back next year for scalloping season!

Wonderful vacation!
We had a wonderful stay! Tracy is the best host! She went out of her way to do accommodate any special requests. I mentioned it was my daughter's birthday, and she surprised her with decorations and treats. The house and location are beautiful. We would definitely return.

Little Piece of Paradise
We have stayed at rental homes across the country for years and this is, by far, the best managed property we have found. The communication and preparation of the property was outstanding, well stocked, the hostess was very pleasant to communicate with.
We brought our 22’ foot Pathfinder and had no problems getting in and out of the channel into the Gulf of Mexico. Great docking area and recreation space on the first floor. The bedrooms were nicely decorated, and all the amenities were better than advertised. The location for this house is excellent, great views, great water. We will be back for sure.

Our best VRBO stay ever!
We had the best time! The home was so clean and comfy. It was incredibly well stocked with everything you could need and more. Beds were very comfortable, showers were clean and refreshing, and the outdoor space was so fun. Tracy was an amazing host and even added extra details for our kids. Hosts were very communicative and kind. 10/10 recommend staying here!
