This has been an amazing week! We would highly recommend this property for its spaciousness, cleanliness, beachliness, and outstanding location in relation to everything you might want to enjoy on a beach vacation. The rooms, bathrooms and living areas are open and inviting. The pool is not so much, BUT it at least gives opportunity for a cool dip during the hot, Florida afternoons. We would definitely consider booking this property again and recommend it.

This property was perfect size for 2 families traveling together on a beach vacation. The close walk to the private beach in a secure location worked great for our pre-teen children to go back and forth to house. Overall would highly recommend this place and would come back again!

House is located less then 2 min walk to private beach. Did not have to drag a bunch of food or drinks to beach bc of how close it was. The house is much bigger than in the photos. Beautiful home. Pool is bit small, the size compares for a hot tub as not much room for more than 3 to 4 people. Overall very satisfied with the property.
