Family vaca
The house had plenty of room and yard was nice. There was no propane in the grill, which we are informed we had to fill. My son-in-law did several repairs which the lady came and paid him for which was very nice. Street was nice and quiet

Family gathering
First of all Chelsea is great. She is very responsive and made sure that we were taken care of. The house and property are very nice and we enjoyed relaxing in the back watching pelicans and porpoises fishing. The house is furnished nicely but the bedrooms lack lamps on both sides of the beds and there is no place to hang towels...minor complaints. We would stay there again.

Cool weather
Overall the house was great and worked great with our families needs. However, due to the cool weather during our stay the fact that the pool wasn’t working the whole week didn’t have as great of an impact. Hopefully they get the pool fixed as it’s one reason why we choose this property.

Excellent Family Gathering
My brothers and our families came to celebrate our fathers 90th birthday. The property was perfect as it was near our parents place in Sand Pebble Point. The "game room" was great for the kids. We got to enjoy the large fire pit and beautiful sunsets. And having 3 bathrooms really worked. The only thing that didn't work was the condition of the pool, but the owner said that was being taken care of for future use. We would very likely come back!

Great for families!
The amenities here are plentiful! Outdoor areas are as described and the view is gorgeous. The host even provided a gas grill to make cooking family meals a snap. Lots of sleeping room, top if the line appliances in the open concept kitchen, and a game room with a pinball machine, foosball table, and video arcade game made they stay comfortable for our family. Chelsea was a generous host and happy to help us in any way.

Relaxing Getaway on the water
Our stay was fabulous, the place has a great common area inside and outside for a large group to enjoy, the game room is wonderful for kids. Boaters will love it, as easy to get out to the channel from their dock, and coming home to the pool afterwards was great. Being a new VRBO rental, a few things were needed and Chelsea went above and beyond to address those items. The kids already have said they want to come back next year.
