So happy we booked here! The house is beautifully done and clean. Very short walk to the beach which was what we were looking for (made for easy bathroom breaks). My 2 oldest kids (ages 6 and 4) loved the bunk beds and the back sitting room was perfect for the pack n play for my 2 year old. We loved gathering around the kitchen island for breakfast and the walk to get dinner and ice cream was great. We would definitely book here again. Thanks so much for a wonderful place to stay!

Our trip was cut short by 2 days due to the weather and the airline not flying in. Our trip was memorable for sure. We were there to visit my late sisters' home and granddaughter. The place was perfect for our family. We would definitely love to book again next year. Easy to find and quiet neighborhood. Friendly neighbors as well. The house had everything we needed to prepare meals and the house also had a backyard grill and the house also has plenty of lighting for safety .Considering how close the house is to the beach, the street is pretty quiet .

This place was clean, and was a minute walk to the beach. We had no issues with the check in.
The only thing I noticed and reported was a small marking on the wall near the front door. It appeared that the reclining chair rubs the wall when you recline. We just pulled the chair away from the wall and no issues.
As an added bonus to this house was a beach wagon and beach toys. The wagon and toys were very convenient (I also left some toys, rafts, and bodyboard for the next guest to enjoy).
Overall we were very happy everything went without a hitch. Thank you!

We have stayed at many beaches on both coasts of Florida and this is definitely one of my favorites! It’s newly renovated, clean, and on a quiet little road right by the beach access. We enjoyed being so close to restaurants and cute bars. I only wish we could have stayed longer!

House is newly remodeled with an easy walk to the beach! We had a wonderful time.

House was very clean and exactly as pictured. Very short walk to the beach and a few parks as well as many restaurants (including ice cream). Beach towels provided were very large and very fluffy. Kitchen was missing a few things if you really want to cook - like a baking sheet and mixing bowls but overall this is one of the top places we have stayed at in the area. We also brought our bikes and enjoyed a lovely ride along Gulf Boulevard. Also appreciated that the home was nice and cool when we arrived so we could immediately start relaxing. Enjoy your trip!

This is, by far, the best property we’ve ever rented (and my family has stayed in quite a few). The house was perfectly clean and recently remodeled (it still has that “new house” smell!). The owners provided dishes, utensils, bath & beach towels, beach chairs…we didn’t need to bring any of the normal household supplies. Finally, the location is PERFECT. Five minute walk to the beach, as well as restaurants, bars, and shopping. We would 100% stay at this property again.
5.0
Perfect location (close to beach (75 second walk) and Gulf Blvd but far enough not to be bothered by any noise. Right by the crosswalk. You can walk south 5-7 blocks and have good food, drinks, coffee, etc and walk 5-7 blocks north and do the same thing!
5.0
Our family had a wonderful Thanksgiving stay as the first guests at this newly renovated cottage. The home is bright, clean, well-equipped, and close to the beach. Our grandchildren enjoyed sleeping in the bunk bed and having their own TV room at the rear of the house. In addition to the beach, they enjoyed the nearby playground and Nature Preserve and loved their dinner at Kooky Coconut.
We did have a couple of glitches with the plumbing. It turned out to be a problem with the city water line. Through it all Max and Rita could not have been better hosts. They responded quickly and sprang into action as soon as we notified them about the issue.
While no one wants to have problems crop up while on vacation, we know that things happen sometimes. That is where the host makes all the difference. If you rent from them, you can be sure of A+ service.
