Great week vacation with family

The property was exactly as listed. Plenty of room for the 14 adults. Beach was right across the street but spent most of the time in the pool. A short walk to ice cream, restaurants and mini golf. Quick trip over the bridge to more restaurants and Publix. Already planning another trip!!!

Great stay!

This home is in a very convenient location with nice ocean peeks. Everyone in our group enjoyed our stay and we all slept well. The home was well-appointed with beachy themed furniture and accessories and was very light and open. It was so nice to have linens and towels included! The owner was very accommodating with some of our special requests and was super responsive each and every time we had questions. Many thanks!
