We loved it!!
This house is BEAUTIFUL and HUGE!!! In total we had 10 adults, and 7 kids ranging from 1-16.(total of 5 families) We had more than enough space and never felt over crowded, but always felt close enough to be able to be together! My only complaint is it was not the cleanest. My one year old would crawl around and his knees and feet would be black, in the couch had old chips and the light in the kitchen had someone else’s name written in the dust😅 but other than that we absolutely loved it! It was a 5 minutes straight walk to the beach.

Always nice to be in Paradise
We had a great time on vacation. We did find a used condom behind the bunk bed and cleaned up water more then once due to the AC leaking. The owner was very prompt with responses but the maintenance crew was not prompt with showing up. The large porch was so nice to be out in at night and the multiple fridges was a huge bonus.

Memories were made
We celebrated our family union during Christmas break. Everything was so wonderful. We had plenty of space and beds for people to sleep in. We really enjoyed the big parking space because we were able to play pickleball out there. And the house located at the back where there is not a lot of traffic. We also enjoyed the fact that we can walked less than 1 mile to the beach. Love the place.

Nasty, grimy and dusty!
I would Not recommend this house. This house was extremely grimy, nasty, dusty and appliances doesn’t work. The stove doesn’t well. 2/3 refrigerators did not get cold during 5 day stay. Owners kept making excuses and ignored my concerns. The listing is not accurate!

Perfect family reunion
We had a wonderful time and great stay. Kitchen had everything needed to cook and best set up I've experienced. Deck was amazing and had great space for the kiddos to enjoy their cousins while adults enjoyed the main floor. Plan to stay again. Thanks!

Family reunion / postponed wedding reception
We had 2 beach houses-this was 1 of the 2. Due to unforeseen circumstances after our wedding in December, my husband and I never had a reception- why not have one for 4th of July?! We brought a few extra tables. We used the property as the gathering space for both families. It was perfect ! Huge yard and downstairs space. Game room and 2 separate living areas with their own entrances I wish I would have know how bedrooms were laid out and I wish the lift worked. The cleaning crew didn’t seem to really clean before we arrived. The floors were dirty but it’s the beach and the sheets were all clean! Overall a true and honest 8.5/10 I would rent this house again PS. The AC and extra fans provided worked great!!

Beds, Beds, Beds!!!
We had a group of 14 girls and 12 adults and this house was PERFECT for us! The fact that all girls could be in one room together and sleep in bed was amazing AND all adults had their own bed to sleep in!! I loved the layout of the house where girls could gather in their quarters upstairs but still had a spare sleeping area for a supervising adult. Penny off room for them to play inside and out and just a quick drive to the beach. Loved it!

Huge House!
This house is HUGE! So much space for all of us to spread out and each have our own area to settle into after our day at the beach. Of course we also enjoyed the living areas like the living room and kitchen to gather and spend some quality time together. The house was super clean upon arrival and we just immediately felt at home here.
