The Ocean Belle was very clean, fresh, well decorated and very well laid out. The 1st and 2nd floors are relatively secluded from each other giving the guests the feeling of privacy while in each. Even though it is not exactly "direct" ocean front property (and it doesn't claim to be), it is perfectly situated in a very quaint, beautiful ocean side, gated community with nice views and amenities. Daytona and St. Augustine are just short drives down and up A1A and Palm Coast itself has some wonderful restaurants as well as the typical chain restaurants and big box stores. The home sits close, but not too close, to the pools/grille/recreation center/beach. It is a fabulous place to vacation! But with that said, we were a little disappointed by the lack of basic cookware in the kitchen (no cookie sheets, mixing bowls, large frying pans nor tea kettle) as well as the owner not supplying enough or any of the basic and rudimentary kitchen/bath essentials. The listing was very accurate in terms of what it said the guests would need to bring themselves, but the place would have been much better if it wasn't so sparsely stocked with the essentials.

The house is incredible! Beautiful, spacious, steps from the beach and clubhouse, safe, quiet, luxurious. My only small complaint (and this was not the owner’s fault), the clubhouse closed at 5pm everyday. My teens wanted to do the hot tub thing in the evenings. The grill is the same, closes at 5pm. Other than this small inconvenience it was a perfect stay. I would definitely recommend.

We liked this home and the convenience to the beach. Later check-out, trash cans in each bedroom, and providing more essentials (dishwasher pods, paper towels, ziplocks, etc) would have made it even better.

This home was fantastic. It had a lot of space and was conveniently located right across the street from the boardwalk to the beach. It was about 100 yards from the pool so we would hit the beach in the morning. Come back to the house for lunch and cool off session then do the pool after lunch. If the goal is to play in the ocean with the kids it won't work here. You can get in the shore break but there are large rock formations all up and down the beach that create a barrier that is tricky to navigate. I was born in FL, have surfed, and scuba, and swam in many places but betting through the rocks without a few scrapes was challenging for me. It was IMPOSSIBLE to take either of my young boys out, like I normally do at the beach.

This house was lovely! Plenty of space for our two families with 3 small children each (we just brought pack n plays for the youngest two). The bunk bed room is perfect and we enjoyed the outdoor area on the 2nd floor. It was a pretty short walk to the beach or pool, we had access to the garage which was great to store all our beach gear, and the kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, cutlery, etc. I'd definitely recommend this house!

The house was wonderful - wish I had been more aware the kitchen is on the 2nd floor but we had enough people to navigate the stairs. You can hear, feel, and smell the beach from the top balcony and 2 pools are just two blocks down (very short walk). Great place and affordable if you share the expense with a couple of others. We were a house of 50 and older but lots of kids walking around the neighborhood so very kid friendly as well. Great stay for me and my family!

Beautiful home. Lovely porch. Amazing views. Easy keyless access. Fantastic kitchen. Comfy beds and couches. Perfect place to stay. Thank you for a fabulous vacation!

This house was immaculate and had everything we needed. The beach walkway is right in front of the house! They had beach chairs and wagons to use while we were there. I would definitely come back- it sleeps 8 very comfortably.
