Amazing vacation spot
My family and I had a great time here. Very clean and plenty activities to do. Literally a five min walk to the beach. If we weren’t at the beach we were in the backyard pool side or playing the many outdoor games that the property provided. We will definitely return here.

Girls Getaway
Home was nicely decorated and comfortable in what appeared to be safe, quiet neighborhood Short walking distance to beach and a few restaurants-bars-convenience stores. Publix grocery delivery convenient. Large backyard with outdoor games & pool, but it did not feel like it was heated. Too cold to swim in comfortably. Some adult floats would be a nice addition.Overall we enjoyed our time at this home in IRB.

Nice house!! Great location!!
This is such a beautifully finished house in a terrific location. We took 3 teenage girls for spring break. The beach was just a couple of short blocks away. We could easily walk back and forth to the beach. It was a fantastic experience.

Great beach house
We just spent spring break here with our 2 kids. We have stayed in many VRBOs in the past, and this one ranks very high. Beautifully decorated and extremely clean upon arrival. Plenty of space for a family of 4. The kitchen was well stocked and all appliances relatively new. We loved having a washer and dryer. Location is 2 blocks to the beach. Easily walkable with kids. We would definitely stay here again! My only suggestion would be a beach wagon to make the walk easier and a cooler.

This property was absolutely perfect! So cozy and super clean. I have never felt more at home on a trip. The beach access is so convenient and the neighborhood was so quite…. Even on the 4th of July!!! I love that it is tucked away and it made for a peaceful retreat. We have found our new favorite getaway spot!
