Our stay at Golden Hour Retreat was excellent. Perfect for large families and easy access to the beach. The golf cart was so convenient to use and the pool area was relaxing with TV to watch your favorite sporting event. The kids enjoyed the game area. Rooms were comfortable and clean. 3 King beds and 2 rooms with bunk beds for kids. Pier Park just a 20 minute drive away. Parking at the home up to 4 vehicles.Some recommendations; provide more bath towels and larger cooking pans/ pots. Communication was great with the host. I had to call because the door code upon check-in was incorrect, there was also minor damage on the pool table and door to laundry area prior to our stay. I’m looking forward to our stay here again.
