The location of this home to the beach was easy! The location to all restaurants and other necessities was on point. I would stay here again and again!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Travis! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the location and found the walk to the beach so convenient. It's wonderful to know the property met your expectations and that our team could provide the support you needed. We’d love to host you again in the future!
Our stay was great! The home was beautiful and very accommodating for our group of 4 families! If I had any suggestions it would be the pool area- the tile on the back porch gets very slippery and there is no ladder for the steps.

Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the home beautiful and accommodating for your group.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the pool area. Safety and comfort are very important to us, and we will look into addressing the slippery tiles on the back porch as well as the addition of a ladder for the steps. Your suggestions are invaluable in helping us improve the experience for our guests.
We hope to welcome you back in the future for another wonderful stay!
Our overall stay was amazing. We did experience a challenge but Emerald Coast resolved as promptly within their control. Only one block from the beach and two blocks from Gulf Place, this was an ideal quiet location.

Thank you, Camillia. I’m glad to hear that your stay was amazing and that we could promptly address the challenge you faced. Our location is indeed a great spot for enjoying the beach and exploring Gulf Place. We hope to see you again soon!
Property was very clean, modern and accommodated our needs as a family. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pots/pans, etc. Pool was great for relaxing after a long day at the beach! Very close to good restaurants and some shopping. Beautiful quite neighborhood and very convenient walk to the beach. Family had a great time and we all hope to return next year! Overall, very pleased.
Our family absolutely loved this home and location! You can’t beat the 2 minute walk to the beach (without having to cross 30A) with a large public beach access at the Spooky lane walk over. Gulf Place with great restaurants and shops that are within walking distance too! We loved getting ice cream at Pecan Jacks after eating at Shunk Gulley. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. The house is nicely updated, clean, well maintained and the kitchen is fully stocked. The living/dining/kitchen were very spacious for a large group. The master bedroom and bathroom were huge! There are also so many outdoor areas on the 2 balconies and patio for us to hang out. The private pool area is a huge plus. We had a lot of fun hanging out in the backyard swimming, playing corn hole and grilling. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and responsive. Overall, great stay! We will be back!
