We enjoyed the two large family rooms, the nice bathrooms, the ping pong table in the garage, etc. Plus, the included access to Ideal Beach provided a nice addition to our activities. The owner was quick to respond to questions we had. Overall, the 17 of us had a great time here. ##### Dana P. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brad B.

Absolutely beautiful! Every room! So spacious! We took our whole family. Married kids and grandkids! We can’t wait to go back. Access to Ideal Beach was a must for me when I was booking our trip. This a just a quick drive away from all that Ideal Beach has to offer. I think our families fav part was the gorgeous deck. We spent a lot of time hanging out and playing games on the deck! Can’t wait to come back! ##### Lindy G. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen B. Aug 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful and Excellent Owner We loved the home, it has large rooms for the family to gather, great large deck and lots of seating, large family rooms and plenty of parking for our 6 cars (one had a trailer). We enjoyed the views, the quiet neighborhood, and the upscale house, like the very large bathrooms, showers, tall ceilings and giant windows. The owner is excellent, very nice and very responsive. We felt at home and we knew we would have a great experience because of the owner. We enjoyed the access to the beach, pool and all the activities, a close drive away from the house. We ate all our meals on the deck to enjoy the views. The house is new and we loved being in the new house. ##### Karen B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024
