This house is a hidden gem. Minutes from the beach. The neighborhood feels safe and is quiet. The host has done a lot to maximize the space. If they invested in a pool heater that would make this a 10/10.
Loved the house and location. Easy check in and check out. Tons of room and great kitchen. Pool area is very nice and clean. Overall, would definitely stay there again.
We had a great stay despite the previous guests leaving the property a mess and breaking things. The owners were very apologetic and did there best mitigate the situation. The home is beautiful and the star is the pool. Everything is a bit dated but still functional. I do wish the grill was in working order as we had planned to grill but that is minor.

Great set up and sitting on a golf course! I definitely recommend.
Nice home with a decent sized pool. Plenty of TVs and space for everyone. Very affordable rate too. Could have been a little cleaner, but other than that it was an excellent stay. Property manager was very communicative and friendly

After a false start to our stay which was not a big deal and was taken care of immediately we were happy with the accommodations. We would stay here again.
If I could it would rate the stay at 4.5 stars

Excellent Property
This house was perfect for 2 couples and 2 dogs. It is the perfect layout for a group of people with its open floor plan. The location was also perfect for any of the many activities at the beach and in town. Very relaxing with a nice view of the golf course. Great places to walk the dogs!! You just cannot go wrong with this rental!! The owner was very easy to deal with and very accommodating!! Would rent again and again!

This home is beautiful and has a lot of space for you and your families to enjoy
This was my first house that I reserved and i reserved it for my 14 family members , we all were so happy and overwhelmed how much space this home has , and having a pool inside the home was a bonus, and the beaches were like 10 mins from us big time plus ! House was so welcoming ! The owner was so nice when I spoke to her about my concern !
Thank you so much for letting my family stay at your beautiful home again 🙏🏼

Perfect spot for our family
We were in town for a family reunion weekend, and this was the perfect place to stay. We had checked into staying at a hotel (4 rooms for 2 nights) and this house was about half the cost of the hotel. There were 8 of us staying there and everyone had a bed to sleep on and plenty of room. The kitchen, dining room and family room are all open concept. The house was very clean when we arrived. There's a keypad lock on the front door, so we didn't have to hassle with picking up a key from the owner. We have family who live in nearby, so we are in the area often. I would definitely stay at this house again.
