The 2 houses and loft were the perfect amount of space for all of us! Having the pool on the property was great for my grand-kids and my elderly parents and the golf cart made it so easy to go to the beach-especially since my mom has such a hard time walking. The pool temp was perfect and the accommodations were very comfortable and clean. The property manager, Car was very easy to work with and found it very easy to communicate with. We will definitely be staying at GiGi's again! ##### Dianne G.

Could not have asked for a better stay. Everything was as advertised. The kids loved the heated pool. The golf cart to shuttle people to the beach was perfect. We were celebrating 35, 10, and 5 year anniversaries. Memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks! ##### Phil B. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shelley C.

GiGi's Sunshine offered plenty of space for everyone. The main house is a two bedroom/two bathroom with a huge gathering room that overlooks the pool area. The second house was a two bedroom/ one and a half bath with a kitchen. The third is a loft over the garage. The golf cart and bikes were definitely an added bonus. The only thing I feel is important to mention is the liner in the pool is ripped. Not a deal breaker by any means but a bit of a suprise. The host said it is scheduled to be replaced soon. ##### Shelley C. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kellie G.

It was absolutely perfect. The pictures in the listing are exactly what the house looks like. Everything was perfect and the property manager was wonder in reminding us of trash nights and what not. The pool is awesome, very clean. We had it heated and used it into the evening. Very close to a perfect vacation! ##### Kellie G.

House was fantastic. Plenty of room for 3 families. The golf cart was SO convenient and used often. Kids loved the bikes, pool and garage loft hangout area. Both houses were well maintained and very clean. The location was closer to the beach than we had originally thought. We were so close to shopping, groceries and excursions. A+ rental ##### Christina K. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael H.

It was exactly as described. The house is very well equipped from the kitchen to the wifi, pool toys, new grill, ping pong, bikes, golf cart etc. It was very clean and big enough to comfortably take more than our 8 (plus small dog). The golf cart is incredibly convenient as the beach, groceries, restaurants etc are very nearby. Last, Car, the property owner/manager was extremely communicative and responsive to questions. We even chose to stay an additional night. We have stayed at many VRBOs and highly recommend this property!! ##### Michael H.
