This large and very accommodating home has all the room and included amenities that one could want and all the necessities for some serious beach time if needed. The backyard, pool and spa area is a personal oasis of privacy and tranquility and the home’s location puts it a short walk and a very short bike ride from the sand. The only negative I could even think of is, if your group contains more than three couples, as ours did, two parties will have to share a bathroom. Eric was very accessible through our stay and when I pointed out that the beach umbrella available was no longer functional, he had an umbrella delivered to the home within 45 minutes. Overall it was a 5 Star visit for us and we’ll be back. Steve

The home was exactly as advertised - plenty of linens, lots of toys and beach equipment. The pool was fabulous and great for young children as well as older kids and adults. Homeowner was very responsive to questions and a couple minor issues. Walk to the beach was very manageable and there is a public parking ramp nearby. Our family absolutely enjoyed our stay and would love to return again.

This is our second time staying here and once again, it did not disappoint. Walking distance to the beach, and the house has everything you could need for every age. It was perfect- we hope to be back again!

Our family enjoyed the backyard pool and spa sssooo much! The walk to beach was easy too. The best family vacation property👍

As advertised! Beautiful property. Clean, well maintained and great space! Perfect location near all activities. Will definitely try to come back again!

This house is perfect for a family! Our group included my husband and me, our 3 daughters and their husbands, as well as 4 grandchildren aged 1-5. This is a great family house - very accommodating to the kids. Having the 2 pack and plays was a great convenience! I believe there were high chair/boosters too, but we didn't use them. We came down a couple of weeks after hurricane Ian had fairly well decimated the area, so it was great that we had the pool, since the beaches were unavailable. The pool and attached hot tub got a lot of use! Plenty of kid toys/floats came in handy. The beach would have been a bit of a walk, but there was a cart in the garage for lugging paraphernalia to the beach. The bed arrangement comfortably fit the exact amount of adults and kids we had. Another adult or older child would have had to use the "futon" in a more public area. The first-floor bedroom that appears to be a twin bed with a trundle can also be made into a king bed, which had already been set up for us! The two bedrooms on the first floor need to share a bathroom. Communication with the owner was easy both before our trip through the Vrbo system as well as after we arrived via text. I don't hesitate to recommend this home for a family.

Very clean home in a family friendly neighborhood. Supplied with lots of beach items from chairs to a paddlesboard. Beautiful pool area. Owners were great when we arrived the washer was broken but the owner kept us informed on delivery of a new one and even provided a laundry service to help with out. Would definitly stay here again.

I want to thank Elena-the host. We had a wonderful stay at the house! The house is very well planned and fully equipped! We have great time to meet the family and all members have their space! The pool is not big but very cosy and we enjoyed time relaxing there! The were issues with conditioner… and the response of Elena was very quick! It was fixed! Elena is always in touch! Grill worked great-for us it is very important as we like to cook all together! The beds are pretty comfortable! The silence around is perfect. 15 min to the nice beach and we rented cabana for 25$ a day! Several restaurants nearby. The area is the prime! Tennis courts are nearby! So thank you Elena and Eric -we will be bacj with pleasure and great memories!

Thermostat was way too cold overnight and was locked with key code. Bikes and beach umbrellas were in bad shape but most rentals don’t even provide them so still a plus. Overall very nice house in good location. We had fun.

Vanderbilt Beach was beautiful! The house was perfect for the size of our group. We all loved the pool and all of the special touches of the landscaping. There were plenty of linens and kitchen supplies, a beautiful new grill and fire table. Spacious home for a large group and we enjoyed our week there!

Beautiful house and yard! The property was clean and well stocked with all kinds of extras. Plenty of pool toys/floats, beach chairs and umbrella, bikes which was super helpful and made our stay easier . Extras in the kitchen I wasn’t expecting like spices, oils, sugar /flour. Property manager is friendly and quickly responds to any needs . Plenty of extra pillows/ blankets and mattresses . Kid toys were a plus . Comfortably fit our 3 families . Close to the beach. Everything as seen in pictures . The only issue were the mosquitos at night which made it difficult to want to stay in the yard at night unless fully submerged in pool. However this is probably hard to control anywhere in Florida. They do have Orkin spray the property. I would absolutely stay there again!

Capping off a 38 year career in Social Services and Public Health, we planned a trip to celebrate my retirement (including myself, husband, oldest son's family with children 11, 9, and 6 AND my sister and her husband, grown daughter and baby boy of 9 months). This beautiful house had it all...all things for baby such as high chair, walker, floating toys, crib AND all things to entertain tweeners. The pool and spa were amazing...so beautiful and intimate and quiet. We rented a golf cart for the week from Electric Motion and "beached" at the state park...traveling back and forth on the cart. The views at the ocean were another level.....we saw dolphin, manatee, lots of fishing, and the water color was indescribably clear and blue/green/teal. A quick drive and you're in uptown shopping, unbelievable landscaping, views from the pier. We had the BEST week and when I get home I can start planning our next trip. I am retired. Love to these owners who answered my every question. Cindy

Comfy beds. Beautiful backyard. Had a blast. Would definitely return!

We had a group of 12. Everyone had a place to sleep. There was a lot of extra baby items if needed. The kitchen had everything you needed. There was an extra fridge in the garage which was very nice as we used it for our drinks. We enjoyed the pool every day and used the spa/hot in the later evening. We rented a golf cart for the week which was awesome to tool around and go back and forth to the beach. The place was clean and comfortable. Good location to Vanderbilt beach. Would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at Eric and Elena’s home! Our party consisted of 6 adults, and 4 children ages 1, 3, 10 and 12. The house was exactly as shown in the pictures and sparkling clean! We had plenty of space for the 10 of us. The backyard felt like our own private paradise in the middle of a quiet residential area. The beach was a 10-15 min walk and we appreciated the provided beach chairs, coolers, wake boards and sand toys- not to mention the cart we used to carry everything out to the beach. So convenient! The home had EVERYTHING we needed for the young ones! Literally all. the. things! We appreciated how many towels (both beach and bath) the home had as it seems like any time we’ve stayed elsewhere there’s never enough. Eric and Elena were easy to reach and super responsive when we had a couple of questions throughout the week. This was a beautiful home with all the amenities in a lovely quiet neighborhood- yet still within a mile of a Publix, restaurants and drug stores and walking distance to the beach. Absolutely cannot beat it! We loved it so much we booked it again for next year! :)

Perfect home, perfect location for our family!!! House had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Plenty of space, beds, rainy day entertainment, beach and pool accessory’s, bikes, strollers, anything you can possible think of for a toddler and baby….including the fountain in the pool! So much is within walking distance or just a very short drive. Owners were wonderful; very quick to respond if I had any questions or concerns. Whole family said they enjoyed themselves and definitely would love to go back… Thank you so much!

Great location. And we had beautiful weather. The home was remarkably clean and is well provisioned. The owners are very easy to work with. We had a small issue with getting a couple repairs taken care of timely. That is the only reason for less than 5 stars.

This house was great for staying with our 3 family units and 6 little kids. The littles loved the pool and the beach was easy to get to!

Great time and everyone enjoyed this family vacation! Beautiful home and great pool and hot tub!

Beautiful property. Interior clean and comfortable. Lots of extra bedding and towels. Problem with ability to control 2 thermostats solved by owners. Kitchen provisions average but very disorganized. Pool was beautiful but very dirty with debris and water unsafe for swimming upon arrival despite owner claiming pool was cleaned day before. Pool cleaned on day 2 and chemicals. Pool cleaned and serviced again on day 5 and water found to be unsafe again. Again treated. Pool cleaner and owner both said apparently salt block needs replaced to maintain water quality. Very disappointed with pool cleanliness as traveling with young children and family who always use pool. Property landscape was beautiful but direct sun is very limited, not like picture. We are a sun and pool loving family - would not choose this property again.

We loved EVERYTHING about this property! Anything and everything you need for you or your kiddos is there! All of the beds are super comfy and the master suite is AWESOME! (A whole side of the upstairs) The pool is sweet, the spa is wonderful and we all had the most relaxing time!! 5 star all the way!

We enjoyed our stay and found the home to be well-appointed.

This is a great house in an excellent location. It’s an awesome house and this is our second time staying because we like the house so much. The owners are great to work with.

We had a great time at this property. Location was ideal and the amenities were everything that our family needed.

This house has everything you need. If bringing children they have every item you need for kids. Wonderful location and the house feels like a model home.

We enjoyed staying at this property all week…there were plenty of extras like bikes, toys for the littles, gaming systems, box fans, beach chairs, umbrellas and more! We were bummed that we couldn’t enjoy the pool/patio at night because the mosquitos were on another level. The walk to the beach is further than listed but we found some paid parking a little closer. The owners were great to work with!

Everything you need is on property for tons of family fun and walking distance to many things.

This place had everything you could ask for. The owners went above and beyond in every aspect. Besides the mosquitoes, we absolutely did not have any complaints. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

Great and cleanly property. Owners were very responsive when we needed to contact them.

Everything was there to suit our needs! From beach necessities to games for the kids, it was all there. The only hiccups were that a couple beach chairs were broken upon our arrival, we found a urine stain on stow away mattress, the dishwasher was broken and needed servicing during our stay, and sheets for the stow away beds were not on site. Each concern was easily addressed to the property manager who was pleasant and quick to communicate with. We really had a great stay. Thank you so much!!!

This house was amazing! The property was gorgeous and a perfect location to walk to the beach. We had 2 teens, an 8 and a 3 year old and there was everything we needed in this house. I can’t say enough about our experience, it was wonderful! Thank you so much!!
