We absolutely loved this house and will be back! There were many family friendly amenities such as a pack and play, baby gate, high chair, sand toys, and many other things. Everything was clean and the check in and check out process was smooth. The house itself is spacious and allowed us to gather together, and the resort is wonderful. The baby pool was closed a few days for maintenance but the splash pad and large pool were still open and able to be used.

Anders and Joolz were awesome hosts. The house was great. We stay at Beachwalk a couple times each summer and really enjoyed our time at Valhalla. Having the golf cart, bikes, and other equipment available was so helpful.

The property was really excellent. Comfortable and spacious. We had 5 adults and 4 young children. It is a great location and great community. It was fun to listen to the live music outside on Saturday night. The beach was great. The kids enjoyed the pool and the ice cream at the clubhouse. Very fun and worth repeating!

Anders was very communicative and his instructions were very detailed how to use everything in the house. Check in was a breeze. The house was the perfect size for our group of 4 adults and 4 kids. Only gripe would be that the video game system and the tv in the master bedroom didn’t work. But we were out and about most of the time so a minor inconvenience. The collection of books around the house were delightful!
