This was such a wonderful place. The house is in a large neighborhood but is located in the best area for beach access. You aren’t oceanfront but can hear the ocean at night, there are no houses between you and the water. The house is a great floor plan, open and spacious, clean and comfortable. The houses are close together but you can’t hear anything from the other houses. The pool is super nice and the whole area very laid-back. Plenty of good food nearby. Lots of great little shops too. If you’re looking for a lot of activities, plan to trek to PCB (45 min or so) but if you’re looking for a very nice place to relax and some good beach time, this is a great vacation rental!

The host was incredibly helpful when we needed to find a place last minute. He ensured everything was ready for us with only a few hours notice. The home was lovely- clean, well decorated (but not a lot of breakables thank goodness - we have kids!) and in a great location. The neighborhood was quiet and well kept, with roving security as well. The kids loved the neighborhood pools and ice cream shop there! We had a wonderful stay and wish to thank Kevin for letting us rent his beautiful home.

Kevin was very responsive to any questions that I had for the property. The listing is accurate and the house is very clean. It is a great location as it is a short distance from the beach by golf cart. I would recommend this listing.

We always recommend a Golf Cart for this community. Even though we are considered go front it makes getting to the sand so much easier with all the Beach gear. Thanks for the five star review and come back anytime.

The house was very clean. The space was perfect for my family. It was nice that the owner had beach chairs, tent, beach carts and 2 bicycles in the garage available for us to use. Originally, from the owners pictures on VRBO, I thought the golf cart was included, but then read the fine print and there was an extra charge. I am thankful we decided to pay the extra amount because it made going back and forth to the beach an easier experience. Overall, the place was great and we had a wonderful time!

Pet friendly and handicapped accessible (though not advertised as) for wide doors, low switches and raised toilets. Perfect for our family. The owner was a very good communicator and the property was clean. He worked with us to allow us early checkin as well. Overall, excellent property and certainly spacious. Would stay here again.

Everything was as advertised and dog-friendly. However, a golf cart is essential due to the extensive walking required, although they do provide bikes in the garage.

Agreed about the Golf Cart. It’s a nice feature. And our beach house is as close to the beach as any house in the community. I’m not sure how some of these houses even rent as a beach house as they’re not walkable. Please come back soon and thanks for the five star review.

Wonderful small town vibes right next to the besch

Great place and Kevin was wonderful to work with. This house is a short drive from a quaint small town with all your needs. A quick walk to the beach was great. Beach was never more crowded than 5-10 families, even on Memorial Day weekend!
