Thank you for spending your 4th of July with us! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed every minute of your stay. It’s great to know the home was comfortable for your family, and that the kids enjoyed it too! The golf cart and pool are definitely guest favorites, and we’re happy they added to your experience. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon!
We had a great stay at the property. It was a great beach house for our family and we believe other families would feel the same. The home is updated, well maintained and clean. The house is close to the beach, but with 3 small kids you can't really walk it. So having a golf cart ( a large one) was fantastic. The pool was a great size and the outdoor area in general worked really well. It was great to be able to go to the beach in the morning, come back and play some games in the game room and then hangout by the pool in the afternoon. For future guests, you will want to bring beach towels. You will also want to bring toilet paper, paper towels, soap and tissues.

We enjoyed all aspects of this property from the private pool to the games in the garage. The house was very clean and we loved the atmosphere of the neighborhood. Would highly recommend staying here.
Our family came for a PG baseball tournament. The house was in a great location! Golf cart was perfect! House was clean!

The neighborhood was like a movie set. The house was clean and the pool was nice. We enjoyed the golf cart even though it almost left us stranded. Plenty of bath towels for everyone.

Thank you for the kind review! We're so glad you enjoyed the house, pool, and the beautiful neighborhood—it really does feel like something out of a movie!
We appreciate your note about the golf cart, and will be sure to have it fully-inspected to prevent any issues in the future.
Happy to hear everyone had plenty of towels and enjoyed their stay. We'd love to host you again! 🚲🏡☀️
Perfect size place for our family of 5 and great location. Having free access to the golf cart was a big perk. The kids loved the game room / garage and we had a great time hanging out by the pool.

It was a fun and relaxing time for everyone. The house was nice and the pool was heated which was a pleasant surprise. The golf cart made it easy to go back and forth to the beach.

This home has recently been updated and was very clean. I have done other weekly rentals of vacation homes and this one was the best! The home was very clean and welcoming. We were totally comfortable from the moment we opened the door. The fans were on, it was cool, there was music playing. The property manager was very communicative and easy to reach. 10 out of 10, definitely recommend!
