Reviewer Comments:
Very pleasant experience in a very well-equipped house on a lovely section of beach. The manager was helpful and gave good advice about activities.
We had 4 families with kids stay. It was a great house to fit all of us. Loved that we were sure to on the beach and the kids could easily walk up to the house by themselves.
Commodore West checked all of our boxes. We loved being right on the beach and the covered porches were amazing! We enjoyed watching the dolphins cruising the sand bar and saw lots of marine life. The only complaints we had were some places in the house were not the cleanest but it was nothing to ruin our fun. We would definitely stay here again.
this property is great and right on the beach, lots of room, porches were nice. The only thing I didn't find there was a blow dryer, I'll remember to pack one next time. Our puppies loved the beach!!
House was great. Access to beach is awesome. Property management is great to work with, I made a new friend. But the stairs are a little much for older folks. Lots of memories made.

Reviewer Comments:
The house will accomodate very large groups. The location is located right on the beach. Very private and the area is not congested.
This was a great house for our crowd! Beds were comfortable, ample bathroom space and the house was clean. Loved the big table where we could eat meals together and play games! Kitchen was well stocked w utensils, cookware, bakeware, cutting boards and even small appliances like blender and hand mixer*. Next time we visit, I would love to see hooks in the bathrooms for enough towels and bathing suits for the number of people possibly using each bathroom. We'll be back :)
Thank you!! We really enjoyed our stay! The home was spacious, with plenty of room for everyone to gather or they could spread out if they needed their own space. The kitchen had everything we needed for large family meals. The porch was perfect for unwinding every evening and the short walk to the beach was absolutely incredible!! Can't wait to come back!

This was a nice and clean house. It was a great size for three families. Loved the large pantry in the kitchen. Our only real complaint was that it needs more dish towels.
Enjoyed staying at Commodore West very much. The new renovations were very nice. Best perk was the house location and distance to the beach (very short walk from the house). Cons were no stairs off the front down to the beach; need more kitchen dishes/baking sheets to prepare meals at home; no potholders at all and could use more than one dish cloth and kitchen towel when staying for a week; there are also no dressers in spare bedrooms for clothes. All in all, we had a great week and enjoyed our stay very much.
This was a GREAT spot without much traffic on the beach. We had three separate families with plenty of space. Everyone was able to enjoy each other on the main level and still have plenty of room for quiet time when needed. We had all ages and everyone had a great time.
A large family with lots of kids showed up next door on the final two nights and we didn’t hear anything through the walls so don’t let the duplex change your mind.
I would love to return and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxing getaway:)
This getaway was for me and my 2 adult children and their children and we had some friends making it 12 in all, a few ended up not coming.:( The house was well furnished and very roomy! Flights of stairs in this unit but we’ve had this before with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms needed for our large group! Right on the beach and beautiful views from inside the house! I so enjoyed the French doors in the master bedroom opening to the porch with rocking chairs to sit in and watch the ocean and listen to the waves crashing! And it was very private so no crowds on the beach! It was a great place to make lasting memories ❣️

We all loved the house right on the beach. The house was terriffic, a lot of stairs so be ready for that. Very quiet area which was great for our family. We took our dog so being able to take him to the beach made our stay wonderful. The house was clean, could've used more towels in the kitchen and bathrooms. Keeping up with sandy floors is always a challenge, that's beach life 😂. Overall the vacation was amazing, kids and grandkids had a great time, we were all very happy with the house and especially is location. Thanks.
