We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again soon!
The house and extension is wonderful for a large party. Pool is a decent size and well maintained! Both kitchens are full stocked with plenty of cookware and both houses have full washer and dryers. Great place! It’s just missing thicker blankets or comforters so bring your own if you need those.

This property was in the perfect location, within walking distance to the beach and to restaurants and shopping. It is kept in immaculate condition, beautifully updated, and is well appointed. It could not have been a more perfect place for our group of families to stay, and we plan to return every year that we’re able.

Wonderful rental. Super clean with a well stocked kitchen, multiple dining areas inside and out, great pool and plenty of room for everyone. Highly recommend.
Great property and great location! With the guest house grandparents got to enjoy staying with us and still escape for some much needed relaxation! The kids really enjoyed the pool and the covered patio was the perfect place to hang out and watch them play! Everything was perfect inside too with enough space for everyone to spread out a little but enjoy eachothers company!

Perfect Stay for Our Work Retreat – Highly Recommend!
As a local hosting an EMS Education Summit, I couldn’t have asked for a better property. The space was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had the perfect mix of comfort and functionality. It created an ideal environment for both focused work sessions and much-needed relaxation. Our team had everything we needed and more. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone—whether you’re planning a professional retreat or a personal getaway. We will definitely be booking again!

Enjoyed the Turtle Dolphin. Great location, house was clean. My family enjoyed our stay. The only downside was the pool is not heated. Beach is five minute drive away and the water was wonderful.
