Family wedding event

The location was good. Not on the beach but quiet and a nice street. There was plenty of room for 9 adults. I was disappointed that there wasn’t a hair dryer or any toiletries (hand soap, bath soap, etc).

Everything we needed and great condition.

All information and detail’s accurate as expected. The location for fishing and access to the water was within very short walking distance. Parking was difficult with four adult couples but no surprise as the website reveled this from the start.

Wedding Week of Our Dreams

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had the most incredible week celebrating our daughter's wedding a year after Covid hit. Intracoastal was INCREDIBLY kind and allowed us to postpone our trip a year and then we enjoyed this beautiful house with our brothers and sisters and nieces! The downstairs was PERFECT for our little nieces to get up and play without waking everyone upstairs! The variety of gathering spots, huge porch that is shaded in the afternoons, toys in the garage, laundry, huge rooms, and outdoor shower for post beach rinsing checked all the boxes. And the short walk to our favorite end of the beach was absolutely perfect for all ages! It. Was. FABULOUS!
