During our recent stay at Cookin Up Fun 2, we had a wonderful experience overall. The location was simply outstanding, offering breathtaking views and easy access to the beach. The beds were comfortable and provided a peaceful night's sleep, allowing us to fully recharge for our beach adventures. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the pool. It was well-maintained, inviting, and offered a refreshing respite from the summer heat. We spent countless hours enjoying the pool and creating lasting memories with our loved ones. However, it's worth noting that we did notice that the home could benefit from a deep cleaning. While it didn't detract significantly from our overall experience, we believe a thorough cleaning would have enhanced our stay even further. Despite this minor issue, our time was memorable and enjoyable. We appreciate the comfortable beds, the fantastic location, and the opportunity to create lasting memories. We would consider returning in the future, hoping that the cleanliness of the house would be addressed. Thank you for providing us with a wonderful retreat by the sea!

By far the easiest walk to the beach of any place that I have stayed. We will be back again!!

Paid for heated pool—Did not work—called they said it just broke —when man came over for stair problems he said it had been broken for two weeks. —The pool was a big deal for our grandchildren—They should have called me to let me know about the pool and found mea new place.—Their property next door pool worked there was no one in it —ask to use they said they would check never called back —Someone did move in the next day but they could have let use it for 2 days before they moved in. The oven didn’t work properly & was difficult to use.

Great property for an extended family vacation for me, my spouse, siblings, cousins, nieces & nephew. We have done large family vacations in many locations. On top of being a fantastic property right on the beach, what stood out for us was the kitchen cookware, utensils, and dinnerware were more than adequate for a large group that does a lot of cooking! Typically, we purchase things to cook with and paper products for eating, but there was no need here. They have everything you need. Just bring your group and enjoy!

We stayed here for Thanksgiving and a very late birthday celebration and we all had a great time. There was a little issue at first with the stove and the property service manager did a wonderful job of resolving our problem. He was truly concerned and determined to help us out. He gets a gold star in my book. The kids stayed in the pool or on the beach the entire time. All in all it was a great place to stay.

We had a great time for our quick family getaway! The location is perfect and the plentiful rooms and bathrooms were great for everyone to have their own space. Also plenty of towels and nice to have 2 dishwashers and 2 washers and dryers. There are a few maintenance things that need some attention, and it wasn’t the cleanest place we’ve stayed in, but still a great time and experience.

Family enjoyed stay. Great direct access to beach.

The house was perfect for our large family get together. Each family had a room and a bathroom. The living/kitchen/dining area was perfect. The decor is modern and clean. The boardwalk to the beach was great for the little ones as they could go back and forth between the beach and house with no problems. We all loved it so much we’re thinking of doing it again here next year!

Exceeded all of our expectations! We are already looking forward to booking again. For large groups, it's perfect!

Great place for our family reunion. Everyone had their own bed and bath-plenty of room and right on the beach.

Great house with a great location for a large group

Access to beach was outstanding. Not too crowded even on the 4th of July. Very quiet location. Small pool was great for cooling off and exercise. I will send an email regarding some maintenance issues to VR

Overall this was a great place to stay. Our family loved it. You can’t beat the closeness to the beach. It was also minutes from restaurants and grocery stores.

Our family of 20 had the best week ever!! This was our first time to take a vacation as an entire family and it was a blast. The house was more than what we expected, the location, size and everything in between. After reading previous reviews I took some extra kitchen items to make sure we had what we needed. I was able to cook for the entire family all week and loved every second. I would highly recommend this property!

We had a great time with family who are spread out across the country. The property is fabulous! Right on the beach. The young children really had fun in the pool. The house is beautiful and the 8 bedrooms allowed everyone to be comfortable. I highly recommend this property.

Wonderful house, accommodating for 14 of us. Will definitely be back.

Great place for our extended family. Loved being tight on the beach!

We rented this property with 14 of our high school friends celebrating our 65th birthday. We were pleased with the sleeping accommodations. We had lots of good cooks but disappointed with the unequipped kitchen. There were a few things that needed repair throughout the week that caused an inconvenience.

Furniture was very cheap and outdated. Can’t beat the location though. Good experience, but felt like we should have been more wowed for the price.

The property and location were great. The kitchen was just not stocked as well as it could have been and there were no hangers in some of the bedroom closets. It was great having two refrigerators, dishwashers and ovens for such a large group. But the ovens needed cleaning. We set off the alarm every time we used them.

Great spot on the beach. House was set up really well. Very nice property. Only complaint…this house doesn’t have any extra stuff around. You have to buy toilet paper. Dish soap. Trash bags. Sand toys. These are just a few examples. If you stay here you have to bring or buy tons of extras and then they clear it all out for the next guest instead of leaving things people could use.

It was a fantastic experience. Had a family wedding on the beach and this place was the perfect place for our family to stay together and celebrate together.

Ran out of propane for stove for a day or two. Otherwise s great stay.

Attempting to escape 2020, we planned a family vacation with two other families. We had 6 adults and 7 kids in the house and enjoyed our first two days with beautiful beach weather. The beach house looked just like the photos, if not better. The deck pool was a hit! Day 3 brought Hurricane Sally! The house was in prime condition, and we were safe despite Category 2 winds. The owners were very gracious and showed great care for our families. Needless to say, memories were made that will never be forgotten! I would HIGHLY recommend this home. Even with a Hurricane, we had a great family vacation!

We really enjoyed our stay. It is a very short walk out to the gulf.

This property was perfect for our family of 16. Everyone had plenty of room, each had their own space. The views were fantastic and we loved every minute of our time! We will definitely be making a return trip to this place! Not a negative thing to say!

The house was perfect for our group and the beach was gorgeous! Waking up everyday to the beautiful beach views was just what we all needed. The house has more than enough space and comfort for all and the pool was perfect for our teenage girls when they wanted a break from the sand. Kitchen is a great siZe for serving big meals for large groups. We cooked in for all of our meals and barely left the house bc everything we needed or wanted was right there.

We really enjoyed it a real nice house, recently built in real good conditions, we definitely recommend to anyone that is looking for a nice place to stay

Great house. Loved 2 dishwashers and 2 refrigerators. Easy access to beach. Just wished the back porch was bigger with an overhang. I would rent again.

The property was beautiful and perfect for us. There were only a few inconveniences: the dryer broke on our third day, maintenance came out promptly but couldn't fix it since it required a new part, going up & down to the third floor was not fun but at least we had another dryer; the last step to get off the pier was quite steep & dangerous, the sand needs to be built up; when we arrived there were LOTS of long nails in the sand off the carport, more than 50, we still found some the day before we left; needs a hose on the pier to clean the sand off yourself before going into the pool; the tv's should have more premium channels, couldn't even get ESPNU and we had lots of guys with us; we needed a colander and more dish towels. Best for last: nicely decorated; plenty plates, utensils, glassware and pots and pans; 2 dishwashers and refrigerators!; lots of storage; up/down washer and dryer; great oven and so glad there wasn't any personal decorative items around.

We had a great stay. No complaints at all. Well stocked kitchen, extremely clean, great beach access. We loved the pool and on the cooler mornings, the heater quickly warmed the water. We are sad to leave!
