Quiet property right across from the water. The family and I had a great time hanging out in the spacious living area as well as enjoying the views from the patios. Would happily book again!
Beautiful house and location. Close to multiple areas with plenty of things to do. Property manager was outstanding!!! Truly enjoyed the week down there. The local marina just down the road had great food and drinks. I highly recommend this property!!
As advertised. Peaceful, private, and in a community as well. Excellent location along the bay shoreline for walks and fish without effort. Enjoyed our stayed. Grilled, fished and strolled along the shoreline. The house had all the amenities for a perfect getaway, and room enough for 8 adults to stretch, feel comfortable in their own space.

First of all...the host had to meet us in person to hand us the key and show us how to lock and unlock the door since the door was jammed. And to check all guest to make sure the number of guest matched the booking. I book with VRBO and Airbnb multiple times a year, and I have never had a host texting asking me when I planned to arrive so they could hand me the keys. I felt rushed to get there. Then come to realize, this is a property management company not an actual host...no wonder! The house is outdated! Not cleaned well. The rug looked like it was never changed. We had two pans to cook on. But, that's not even the worse part! We bought toms of food especially meat to grill to celebrate my husband's birthday. Well the propane grill did not work! And even if it did. It was DISGUSTING! They had another grill there so they brought us two bags of charcoal and lighter fluid to use the charcoal grill with a big hole at the bottom. Not to mention both grills looked like they have never been cleaned and we're brought from a junk yard. Seriously! Ruined our plans! We decided..okay let's try and cook this meat upstairs. Two pans! We had to gilo buy are own pans to cook fajitas, burgers and steak! Who wants to do it that while on vacation?? And to add the terrible icing on the cake, the rooms upstairs and especially downstairs Wreaked of cigarettes smoke! The grounds of the hole were also not well kept. Some of our guest left early too. Give the place some TLC!

Response from VrboOwner on 26 Aug 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry that aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations, and we do take guest concerns seriously. We would, however, like to clarify several points for future guests.
The doors are not jammed. They are hurricane-rated doors that require a specific procedure to properly lock and secure them. Because they operate differently from a standard residential door, our local host personally demonstrates the locking procedure at check-in to ensure guests can safely and securely use them throughout their stay. Coordinating an arrival time allows us to provide this assistance. Confirming that the number of guests matches the reservation is also a standard part of managing the property and ensuring compliance with the occupancy booked.
We apologize that the propane grill was not functioning properly during your stay. When you notified us, we responded by providing charcoal and lighter fluid so the second grill could be used. We understand this was inconvenient, particularly given your plans to celebrate your husband’s birthday.
We also appreciate the feedback regarding the cookware and have reviewed the kitchen inventory to ensure the home is appropriately stocked. The comments regarding the grills, rugs, grounds, and overall condition of the property have also been shared with our cleaning and maintenance teams for review and attention.
Smoking is strictly prohibited inside the property, and we take any violation of that policy seriously.
This was a much needed relaxing oasis, Lisa was very responsive and helped us with finding local things to do. We loved having dinner at the marina, the flounder tacos are amazing! The house was clean and well stocked kitchen. The views from the front and back porches were breathtaking, and the beach was cute. We will absolutely be back!
The house and property are as described. The downstairs open air garage was a great place to congregate for the family. The front deck was perfect for a sunrise or to enjoy the ocean breezes. Our family absolutely loved the house and the location. It is close to Indianola Beach where we swam daily. Only downside of the house or beach were the mosquitoes and jellyfish. No fault of the owner just mother nature. Regardless we still enjoyed it all.
The house was beautiful! The only thing we noticed was on the description it said two full bunkbeds and twin bunkbeds and there was only One full size bunkbed. I feel that should be noted in the description.
We plan on Coming back and saying this in this house again!
