Jun 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family vacation My family and I spent a week here and couldn't be more pleased! We practically lived on the screened in porch, watching all the birds and wildlife. It was a short drive to the beach which was never crowded the whole week. There were a few very wonderful restaurants right across the bridge and a tiki Hut right on the point. We definitely plan to book here again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6c0d327d-1655-4348-a242-cde7f841be34-1750716450368.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/35c8f624-4f4a-4f10-929b-6665df7e238f-1750716609660.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1afb46f0-98a5-4987-a2fc-24dad0983914-1750716625402.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Chelsey H.

Property was advertised honestly. We loved being so close to the beach. Not to mention the beach was practically empty. We saw dolphins swimming for hours one day. Very clean. Property management had superb customer service and was also willing to ship an item we left. Only improvement I could suggest is to have locks on the bathroom doors and bedrooms, other than that it was perfect ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0861c80e-ae48-43af-84ea-41333fa03082-1756062189188.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/34e08117-ded4-481f-a6cc-09a5a10542bd-1756062190180.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/adcaaced-2951-4eff-8194-33630a720bf4-1756062191164.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sarah C.
