We traveled with 9 - my wife, myself, our 2 kids (13 and 12), my sister in law, my parents, and my in laws. This house is gorgeous. Everything is well appointed, clean, and spacious. The infinity pool is just perfect. Amazing view and relaxing. We spent our mornings sipping coffee and fishing, our afternoons fishing, and had a blast. There is a ton of wildlife right on the dock. We saw dolphins, sharks, stingrays, manatees, and caught 5 different species of fish. We were slightly hesitant the upstairs rooms would be hot after reading the reviews. We had no issues. The rooms were super comfortable for sleeping, and we are used to the cold (we live in Michigan). There was a slight issue while we were there, and the hosts were extremely responsive. They tackled the issue quickly and were in regular contact with us, and very apologetic and professional. I highly recommend staying here. Just fantastic - memories made!

The home was perfect for our family and friends to spend quality time together. The patio, pool and hot tub is where we spent most of our time. The sunsets were amazing! There is plenty of space for 2 families to be together and also have privacy. The owner and property manager were great to work with and responded immediately when we had any questions.

The house was beautiful and the view was outstanding. The one criticism is the TV. We were not able to access much because the cable selection was awful and it was very confusing to use. There were no channels to view sporting events or watch current sitcoms or news shows, so it was limited. The area is not too conducive for shopping and beach getaways.

We had a great time. We take a family vacation every year. Last year in OBX the year before that Myrtle Beach. After last year in OBX we decided to go to Florida to guarantee we have warm ocean water. This house was really nice!! The pool was nice and the hot tub hit the spot to help relax. We did a lot of fishing off the pier. We saw manatees, skates, stingrays, collected sand dollars and believe it or not we saw seahorses. I have done a lot of scuba diving in my past and I never saw a seahorse in the wild. We went to Siesta key, and Anna Maria Island, well worth the drive!! They were two of the best beaches I have ever been to in the United States. My only disappointment with this place, it was a long drive to a beach. Other then that it was great!!! And good place to eat close by.

Great house. We had 8 people staying here for spring break. Everyone had plenty of room. Kitchen was well appointed. We saw dolphins, manatees and string rays on the pier. The house manager Lori was great! She even let us borrow a huge pot to do a low country boil for my son’s 15th birthday. Circles, Finn’s and the Vineyard Italian restaurant are great and right down the street. Thanks for the great spring break!

Loved the location. Watched manatees swimming past (and under!) the dock. Dolphins, pelicans and an osprey made appearances. Patio with pool and hot tub was great place to hang out. The “fire bar” was fun and relaxing in the evenings. The house was very comfortable and nicely furnished.
