Home on the Gulf

From the moment you come inside the condo it feels like home, the condo is the cleanest vacation rental I have ever stayed at. There are snacks, extra supplies and more provided to you during your stay. That is unheard of most of the time! We can't wait to come back! The hardest part was leaving!

Safe and peaceful

This place was perfect for our family to enjoy the some rest over Easter. Rhonda was great from start to finish helping us with our accommodations and the condo was super clean! Horseshoe Beach is perfect for your morning walk or run and there is a quiet beach nearby. I suggest stopping to get your groceries for your stay before you arrive because it’s a 25 min drive to a grocery store. The closest stores do not have many gluten free food choices if you have celiac’s! We will be back!
