Comfortable home
Our family loved our stay in this super comfortable home. It is close to the beach access and the community pool was also close. The kids really enjoyed the pool. The host thought of every aspect of making sure our rental had everything we could need for our stay. We will definitely come back if we're ever back in the area.

Great location
Amazing home in a great location near 30A that was perfect for our family vacation.
Everything was perfect. Location, huge house with loads of bedrooms and bathrooms, very clean, rooftop area was really nice. Super quick walk to the beach. Staff was always accessible and responded immediately. Highly recommend!
The Location was absolutely perfect. We love how close it was to the beach. Also, everything that they had for the beach was absolutely amazing. We did find the bedding to be lacking a little. There were no extra blankets or anything that we could locate or any extra pillows. Also, the kitchen was lacking a few basic utensils to be able to cook well, but we made it work.
