My family and I celebrated my daughter’s 50th birthday and had such a nice fun time. The house was excellent and so much prettier than the pictures showed. I would recommend this property.

Family relaxation

This property was awesome. It had everything we needed and wanted. Our family had nothing, but great compliments about this property. All of the bedrooms are very spacious and there is a bathroom (amazing showers) for each bedroom. There is plenty of lounging space both upstairs and downstairs. We docked our jetski here with ease, and convenient to get to the ocean. We would stay here again.

This property is definitely a taste of "The Good Life!"

Property was beautiful and exactly what was advertised on the Vrbo listing. The rooms were beautiful and spacious, beds were comfy, and the amenities were great. Pool looks smaller in pics than it actually was, we often had 4 adults and 3 kids in it no problem. Plenty of activities, games, and lawn sports onsite to keep everyone entertained. Nephew and niece caught their first fish and blue crabs on this trip (right off the deck)! Will definitely come back!

This house is amazing!

The house is beautiful! It can very comfortably sleep 16. There are two large family areas and the outside decks. The kitchen has everything you need and then more! The bedrooms and bathrooms are gorgeous! We fished, swam, played the games in the house, and sat by the fire pit and the water at night. It was like staying at a 5 star resort! We really enjoyed it!

Summer fun 2025

Every year my family and friends unite to celebrate a summer kickoff. This house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. This is our second stay at the good life. We could tell that many families have stayed and enjoyed the home. Some things were beginning to show their usage but for the most part we were impressed with the upkeep. This home can bring together family in comfort and makes Memorial weekend a memorable time! Thank you for sharing with usDemings Family
