Family beach holiday

Our family enjoyed the house and the location. Views of the beach from every balcony, and a very short walk to the beach. The house was very kid-friendly.

Great house and location

Our group of 9 all really enjoyed staying at the house. The house layout worked well for our group and the kitchen and family room area was good for cooking and hanging out. The beach is a very very short walk away. The owner was always quick to reply to questions. You can tell they take pride in the property and think of the details to make the stay more enjoyable for guests. We’ll definitely look to stay here next time we’re back in the area.

Perfect beach vacation

Barbie's beach house exceeded our expectations! The house is even better than the photos show! Everything was clean and decorated beautifully. The host and house manager were both so prompt and helpful. The neighborhood is upscale with beautiful homes and the private beach access was perfect and safe for our family. We will definitely be back!

Family Vacation!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time at this beautiful beach house. It had everything we needed and then some, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. Would highly recommend for the views alone but everything else makes it even better. Book this house, you won’t regret it!

The perfect family vacation

This property was spectacular. We did an extended family trip here with kids and grownups in tow. This house delivered and then some. It is VERY close to the beach and has very nice amenities. We’ll probably be back next year!
