Great location- code wasn’t sent upon arrival- had to reach out and wait but resolved within 10 minutes. There was a fishy smell in the place - could not figure out what it was. Pillows really need to be replaced. One bathtub didn’t drain well. Other than that it was perfect.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience — it truly made our day! We're delighted the location set the perfect stage for your getaway. That easy access to everything is exactly what we love offering our guests.
We're sorry the entry code didn't reach you right away. We actually sent your check-in details by text on 5/29, but technology has a mind of its own sometimes! We're so glad our team could sort it out within ten minutes and get you settled in.
Now, about that mysterious fishy smell — life on a Gulf of Mexico island comes with a few salty surprises! Our best guess is that someone hauled in a great catch right before your stay. We'll always keep things fresh and welcoming for you.
Thank you, too, for the honest notes on the pillows and the slow-draining bathtub. We're looking into both right away so the home feels its very best for every guest who follows.
One gentle reminder for next time: please reach out to us directly the moment anything comes up. We're always here and happy to jump in so your stay shines from start to finish.
It would be an absolute joy to welcome you back anytime — see you next time!

We loved our recent stay at Costa Del Ray Townhomes. It was clean and cute with very comfy beds. The location is fantastic—just a short walk/drive to the beach and restaurants. Plenty of parking. We especially appreciated the convenient water hose for rinsing off sand before going inside. Highly recommend!
Very clean and awesome location. Easy pull up to house and water hose right at the front door. Very well thought out and would stay here again

This was a great small house, fit our our family well. I loved that it had space for three kids in the room, so no one was sleeping on a couch. Kitchen was great and well stocked. The walk to the beach was easy and quick.

Everything was wonderful no complaints except maybe not enough toilet paper and paper towels, but nothing we couldn't get ourselves. Thank you so very much.

This was the perfect getaway for our family of 4. Plenty of space and a great floorpan for privacy. This was the best stocked kitchen I have ever seen in a rental property. You could prepare ANYTHING! The host was so responsive and we felt really valued. The location was centrally located to everything we wanted to do. Thank you!

Property was well equipped with kitchen ware and gadgets. Comfy beds and linen. Only trouble I had was that I didn’t receive the door code and was confused on how to get in but I called the number on the window sign and was able to have it sent within seconds.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad that you had a great time at this property and were able to enjoy all of the amenities. We appreciate your business and hope you will come back soon. Life in Paradise
The unit was great. It was comfortable, clean and easy access to the beach. The only let down was the pool was green and not swimmable. We booked the stay here because there was a pool, so we could have gone to a more affordable location without a pool. But overall we had a nice time.
the house was great but disappointed there was no grill to cook our fish. Pictures online were deceptive and no grill on the grounds.
