Great Place To Stay

Really nice place to stay, very close to beach and lagoon. It does have quiet a few steps to climb, two flights, which wasn’t a problem for me but was a little harder on my mom. Very clean and beautifully decorated! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.

Best beach location

We loved this property. Three minute walk to the beach and a great covered fishing dock on the lagoon side. Away from the traffic of the tourist zone, great for our two families. Cannot wait to return!

Great stay

Our family had a great time. The location is very close to the beach and the lagoon. The host communicated very well prior to arrival. We had no issues. We did take advantage of the Xplorie coupons and enjoyed the golf and parasailing.

Peaceful Retreat on Little Lagoon

What an amazing property! Perfectly situated yards from the beach in one direction and the pier onto Little Lagoon in the other. The pictures very accurately reflect how well furnished and comfortable this unit is. I stayed here for a week mid October and absolutely loved the less populated beach that time of year and the quiet of Little Lagoon. Will definitely return for another peaceful retreat!

Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Nov 2024

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the perfect location between the beach and Little Lagoon, and that the property was as comfortable and well-furnished as expected. October really is a great time to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and quieter beach. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another relaxing stay!
