12 Family members from 5 to 66 stayed 5 days and had the best time... there was plenty of room, games to play, and the heated pool was perfect for the cool nights. We had a great Christmas and made lots if memories.
House was large enough for the entire family. We had everything we needed there and enough dishes to invite the US army for dinner:) family loved the pool and the pool table way more than I anticipated and we had the golf cart out the entire time. Loved our stay.
Thank you

This was one of the best home we every vacated in. This was a very lovely home and we had the best time while visiting. We’ll definitely come back again.
Beautiful home. Much time and thought put into decor. Was extremely appreciated the ambiance of musi
The ease of checking in and the numerous text communications with important information was great. The follow up text to be assured we had found everything comfortable. Our family joining us were over whelmed with appreciation for the home and its location. Thank you for fulfilling a dream vacation. The space for all ten senior adults great. We Koved our visit.
We enjoyed a family vacation for 10 of us. The house has plenty of space. The alarms are annoying, but we understand why you have them. We loved the kitchen and grill. You have every dish that is needed to cook almost everything. The house was clean and well maintained.

Had a great time and plenty of space. With the additional guest house everyone had their own space but plenty of room for hanging out as well. Pool was great. Some of the extras like the pool table and ping pong were old and worn but did the job to occupy time.
House was amazing. Lots of rooms, kids room on top floor was perfect for our 8 year old. Location to beach was so great. 4 minutes golf cart ride was all it took. Only negative was that the appliances did not all work great. Ice machine didn't work, first floor bathroom kept running. There were no bikes like the listing said but the property manager did agree to reimburse us for rentals
The house was beautiful and conveniently located and the pool was great but, furniture was broken, toilet was broke, no sofa bed as described and shown. No bikes as described. Needed outside rat problem taken care of. We would stay again if items were addressed.
The property was perfect for our trip. Easy to get around and find our way to the beach and back. It was quiet and the pool was a great way to unwind during the day when the beach was crowded. It was located close to shopping and eating places which was nice. We did have an issue with a pool alarm and they came and took care of it immediately, and the wi-fi was spotty at best which was a bit frustrating.Overall it was a great time and is a good property for large groups!

We had an excellent experience from start to finish. The house was great. Well stocked with everything you needed. Pool was great. Location is excellent. Very private feel. A++ 5 stars.
It was a fun place to stay, there were 10 of us staying and had plenty of room and activities to keep us entertained. Only complaint was all the signs about the HOA and fines we could incur if we stepped out of line. Kind of put a damper on our mood
What a wonderful stay. A little chilly so we were not able to use the pool much. This place has so many amenities and creature comforts. Our family would love to stay here again.
The house has everything you will need and then some. Its a great place to entertain teens we had 7 with us and never feel like your on top of each other. I really like the set up and how close you are to the beach. I would stay here again.
