The property is in a great location on the beach close to restaurants and food stores. We had 8 adults and 2 children. We planned to celebrate a 75 th birthday party as well as visit with family members living in the area. The house accommodated everyone and everything we did. The pool was a huge success and the beach was fantastic. The seperate apartment was perfect for us as we slept in a little longer then the younger children. I would definitely recommend this property for anyone with children of any age. The pool and the beach are perfect. There is also a miniature golf course across the street.

Literally on the beach! You don’t need a golf cart or wagon. Pop up canopy was in the garage and we set it up on the beach every morning. Played in the waves until we had enough sand and seashells and then back to the large private pool. Very nice and well stocked kitchen with huge island for feeding our group of 13. We never felt the need to leave the property, although we did for arcade on a cool windy day. Ice cream and souvenirs too!

My husband and I along with 2 friends stayed for a week. Property had been damaged some from storms but owners were working very hard to make everything nice and accommodating still. House is dated but still nice. I would only suggest tub/ shower areas need updating, rather than quick fixes. Property location and view are wonderful. Pool was soo nice to have. This property would be great for large families.

We loved the location! Easy to move between pool, beach, and hot tub. Restaurants and shops as well as putt putt within walking distance was great too!

Outstanding setting Great Location Comfortable home

Hosts were a dream to work with. Anything we needed was taken care of. Lots of room for a big family. Perfect location on the beach. We will be coming back!!

Beautiful property. Plenty of room. Stocked with most everything needed except food. Ocean front. Seemed very safe with no issues. We highly recommend and hope to visit again

Even though the hurricanes devastated the surrounding area Al &Mary did a great job of putting everything back together! Thanks for all your work, we had a great time!!

We had an amazing week here, the view is second to none. It felt very private even though it was located in a busy area. Al and Mary were very helpful, we had an issue with one of the showers during our visit and Al was there to help within 20 minutes.

We had a wonderful family vacation, just steps to the beach, lots of pool toys for the kids, lots of chairs for the adults. Inside game if you needed them but we spent all day outside mostly. Lots of room for everyone. We had a group of 13. Highly recommend this property.

We loved the location of the property. Beach and pool in one?!?! Owners are great people!

We had a great stay. Owners very great to communicate with!!

Can't say enough good things about this property! Excellent location, clean, large enough to easily accommodate 9 adults and 3 children. The pool was a nice bonus. The home was stocked with many spices, coffee, shampoo, and conditioner so you don't need to bring or buy those items. The location is great and we enjoyed the food and atmosphere of the Tipsy Taco across the street. Al and Mary were excellent hosts and very responsive. Do not hesitate to book this property.

We loved the place. Had almost everything we needed. Lots of space. Will stay again

Very nice and relaxing time

Exactly as stated and so much fun for the entire family. Mary and Al were so nice they wanted to meet the entire family 11 of us before we left. Al was so nice at check in showed us everything we needed to know and made sure we had his and Mary's phone number before he left. Great service great place.

Very nice stay at an amazing home right on the beach. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a nice relaxing stay.

Our family had a relaxing 4 night stay on the beach after a busy week at Disney. The beach views were amazing; just as described! The spaces for dining and sleeping were perfect for our group of 10! Al and Mary were very responsive and so friendly!

I had my wedding ceremony on the front lawn just foot steps from the sand. While the home also housed the wedding party. It was a perfect location with all the amenities one would need for an event or family gathering. I highly recommend this lovely property for anyone looking for a private home on the beach yet still in walking distance from food and shopping!

We loved having the beach and pool available to us right outside the front door! Surrounded by hotels and condos and we had our very own space! It felt very exclusive!

There are not adequate words to express how wonderful our stay here was. We had 5 adults and 6 children ranging in age 0-17. Everyone in our party had the best time ever! We know we found a winner when the property can accommodate such a variety of needs. The layout of the property was amazing in that everyone could get together or spread out and have their own space. We did not feel cramped or on top of each other. Al and Mary are wonderful hosts. They went over everything at check in and called to follow up with us before and during the stay. They pay attention to the smallest of details here to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. We walked in and felt at home immediately. The house is older, but clean and comfortable. Think vintage. We loved it! The outside area is the best we have ever experienced on our beach trips. There is a spot for everyone. The views never get old. Anything you would need for the perfect beach trip is within steps or a very short drive. A few things I wanted to mention because I wonder about them when searching for a property: the beds are very comfortable; the plumbing, AC, hot water, etc. all work very well; there are plenty of towels, beach items, games, puzzles, dishes, pans, etc for use. Everything down to the soap is good quality and they give you ample supply for all your needs. We are so happy we chose this property for our family trip and are excited to return. Thank you Al & Mary!

Not happy. Not worth the price. The house is dirty, the neighborhood is scary and hood. Next to motels. The house has no privacy. Mold in pool and jacuzzi. Located in a public beach. Very dangerous and random people walk up to the house. We had to leave early and the owners will lie and say the house is clean and deny everythjng when confronted. Overpriced. Dirty. Disorganized and just disrespectful price to pay for this house.

We would gladly rent again, but the are completely booked for next year. That tells you how great it was

This property was perfect for our family vacation, had everything we needed for the beach, and for our guests. The owners were so easy to get a hold of, and immediately responded to any questions we had. Convenient to so many restaurants and shops. Also a quieter location, so less tourists on the beach. Definitely would love coming back to this beach house.

The owners are wonderful and was there anytime we needed them. The property is beautiful and there is privacy. The ocean view - perfect

This is a great property for a large family or group of friends to spend a few relaxing days without going very far. Beach is steps away or lounge by the pool. Very well equipped property so catering in for large group is no problem. Hosts are great to work with. Thoroughly recommend this location

We had a wonderful time at the Rose Retreat. What else could you ask for with ocean front property , a pool & a hot tub. So relaxing and the view is amazing. We had a small issue with the hot tub but the property manager and the owner took care of it right away. We hope to return in the future.

The location on the beach, with a pool, and big yard to hang out couldn’t be more perfect. Walking distance to many restaurants and shops. The house is nicely updated. The pool does cost around $200 to heat for a week, which is not initially obvious. Overall very happy with the space and our experience!

This house and location was amazing! The owners and Manager were exceptional to work with and we were able to create some fabulous memories with friends and our senior daughter!

Amazing property and location!! Exactly as described and host had great communication

This property is wonderful. Our group had a great time. The house is really nice inside and the grounds are well kept. The pool is really great and having the ocean front is even better. Would stay her again. The property manager and owners are very helpful and easily accessible. Hope others enjoy this property as much as we did.

Best vacation of my life! The property was perfect for our family , the sleeping arrangements were perfect , all the kids and grandkids in the house and my husband and I in the bonus room above the garage , the ocean and the pool kept our energetic boys busy all week , along with the video games ! the view and the sound of the ocean are so relaxing, the house is beautiful and the history of the house in pictures was interesting, we had everything we needed, it was amazing , hopefully we will return every year !!!!!
