10/10 Excellent
"Both the home and the surrounding yard were gorgeous and immaculately maintained. Access to the property was easy in our small vehicle and the host made the check in procedure smooth and pleasant. The home was spotless, cool and comfortable. The icing on the cake was definitely the deck with a beautiful view of the Gulf (zero obstructions and a mere stone throw away) plenty of sun or shade and comfortable / functional patio furniture. We rate it a 10 on a 10 with our only regret being we did not have longer to stay. We definitely plan to return."

Cozy Beach Retreat with Deck, Steps from the Beach

Cozy Beach Retreat with Deck, Steps from the Beach

8/10 Good
"The house can accommodate a lot of people, and the check-in and check-out processes were very simple - the hosts did not require much to leave the house, just your normal removing trash, running dishwasher, etc.At the price point, the rooms were fine, however there were a few small details that were not ideal. The overhead lights in the main room with the king bed did not work, and the middle room with the bunk beds did not have an outlet at all. If you're having kids stay in that room, not a huge deal, but for adults it was strange. The bottom bunks of all the bunk beds were also set against the ground, which was uncomfortable to get in and out of for adults. Additionally, the first bathroom's door did not close all the way, seemingly because the house has shifted and the door could not fit into the jam.Overall, a fine place to stay if you're not spending much time at the house - very close to the beach and Margaritaville down the street - but some details could be improved."
