We chose this property for our family Christmas (about 30 of us)! The house worked really well! Loved it, enough room in the back yard for games and got to watch dolphins each day! A short drive to a nice public beach! Great host! A child broke a window and we had no problem working with them to have it repaired! Covered by trip insurance!

Had big group and was perfect for our group. We were able to enjoy the house the yard and the amenities.

Great old house with updated kitchens. Had a group of 17 and we comfortably fit. Plenty of TVs and separate spaces to gather as a group and have some alone time. Recommend if you need a big space for a big group.

I cannot begin to express how much our family fell in love with this historical property. Absolutely beautiful and exceeded expectations of our group of 23 family members. Location was perfect and close to anything and everything you need.

It was nice to be able to block off sections of the property for privacy. Needs some better cooking pans but we made due. Fishing was great from the pier with shrimp and crabs.

8 families, 35 people, this location had enough room for us to play games and visit together, as well as have separate suites/areas where each family could have alone time. Its an older home (1914) so it does have its rough spots. But it had all the things that mattered: AC (dead of summer and we were cold!), Space, Parking, Location, Dock to see Dolphins (whoop!). Communication was great during our stay (only had 1 issue). We plan on booking again!

The Ballard House was a perfect location for our family reunion of 23 people, ages 16-83. The gorgeous home contains separate living spaces, allowing each family to have their own kitchen area and bathroom to share, with one larger kitchen/living room space for everyone to gather. There’s plenty of room to spread out, but also to hang out together. The historic home has been tastefully updated, maintaining its charm. The outdoor space is beautifully landscaped with tropical plantings, and a small pond. It was wonderful to step out on the dock at any time of day to birdwatch and spot dolphins. Even a stingray was spotted by two cousins, and one saw some blue crabs hitched to the dock posts. Half of our group was home at the time of a rocket launch and had amazing views from the back yard and dock. One evening we had a spectacular bioluminescence show in the water while we were out on the dock. Then the “kids” got out the kayaks and paddled around creating blue lights all around them! It was a wonderful, unforgettable week!

This is a really great property and the owner/managers are super responsive. Wonderful experience for my family and me.
