I would rate our stay 10 stars if I could! We want to go back already. Our stay was absolutely perfect. The location and inclusion of the golf cart made exploring IRB so easy and convenient. There is a great park for kids a stone’s throw away (literally). The home was fully stocked with everything we needed (kitchen tools, beach towels, blankets, beach gear and toys, pool toys, pack and play, the list goes on!). The recent updates are beautiful, including awesome outdoor furniture. The pool was clean and the shape/steps were perfect for kids. The beds were also so comfortable which can make or break a trip. Also blackout shades for sleeping in! Alisha and Barry provided so many great recommendations too. We didn’t bring a dog but there were also essentials for dogs at the home. We will absolutely be back!!!

Comfortable property with amenities & great location
This is a very well cared for property with very nice amenities. The lanai, pool, and hot tub area was fantastic where you definitely felt like you were on vacation. Can't beat the location just 2 blocks from the beach which was made even more convenient with the included golf cart. The owners were very thoughtful before and after the stay, highly recommended!

Great house and location.
The house was very nice and had everything we needed. The pool and backyard were excellent. The neighborhood is a quiet residential neighborhood so its great for families. It was very nice being a short walk to the beach and short golf cart ride to restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing
We enjoyed our stay, the house was very comfortable and the pool/backyard area was great. Really relaxing location to just hang out by the pool. We would have loved for the hot tub to be hot but it ended up just all being one warm pool

Just lovely!
We were very pleased with everything about the house we rented. Everything was provided, the house is in a very nice neighborhood, close to the beach. The back yard is beautiful, the pool and the palm tress are very private. The golf cart is extra fun! We will definitely be renting again next year. Thank you again, Susan
