Great place for large family

The house and extension is wonderful for a large party. Pool is a decent size and well maintained! Both kitchens are full stocked with plenty of cookware and both houses have full washer and dryers. Great place! It’s just missing thicker blankets or comforters so bring your own if you need those.

Great property and great location! With the guest house grandparents got to enjoy staying with us and still escape for some much needed relaxation! The kids really enjoyed the pool and the covered patio was the perfect place to hang out and watch them play!

Perfection

This property was in the perfect location, within walking distance to the beach and to restaurants and shopping. It is kept in immaculate condition, beautifully updated, and is well appointed. It could not have been a more perfect place for our group of families to stay, and we plan to return every year that we’re able.

Perfect Stay for Our Work Retreat – Highly Recommend!

As a local hosting an EMS Education Summit, I couldn’t have asked for a better property. The space was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had the perfect mix of comfort and functionality. It created an ideal environment for both focused work sessions and much-needed relaxation. Our team had everything we needed and more. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone—whether you’re planning a professional retreat or a personal getaway. We will definitely be booking again!

Great Little Beach House

We had a wonderful time at the beach this weekend. It was rainy, which put a damper on things, but it was November so that's fine. The house was perfect. We had two toddlers running around with plenty of space to play. Great kitchen and grill for very fun group dinners! Great house and great communication. We will be going back next year!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was beautiful and large enough for all my family. The location was great and had a pool we all enjoyed. The only downside was the home only had 6 towels for a family of 11. I called the maintenance line and was told someone would be dropping some more off later, but no one showed. Also, there were no extra blankets or pillows in the home besides the thin ones on the bed so if you get cold might want to bring your own.

Spacious Tropical Treasure

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our rental was a home that had everything you would possibly need to enjoy a worry free and relaxing stay. The home was so spacious allowing a gathering space to entertain from the kitchen, dining and living room areas. The bedrooms were separated providing privacy and quiet from the main area. The casita on the property was a completely furnished space located steps from the home. A bonus for a single guest that always gets the sofa sleeper. We enjoyed beautiful weather and spent hours in the heated pool. My family will definitely book another stay in one of a kind rental.
