A Perfect Stay - Beyond Expectations

This property truly exceeded all expectations! The house was spotless and beautifully decorated, with all the conveniences you could need. Thoughtful touches, like snacks and a bottle of wine, made us feel incredibly welcome. We loved the outdoor space and screened-in patio, perfect for relaxing. Great location —within easy walking distance to the beach and restaurants, yet peaceful and quiet. The hosts were exceptional, with excellent communication and an impressive renovation after the 2024 hurricane damage. They didn’t miss a single detail. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Our family of 3 stayed at the Shorebird property and it is as advertised. Cozy and clean with all the amenities.

Perfect spot for our girls trip. Only needed snacks, sunscreen, and ourselves. The house is a short walking distance to the beaches and restaurants. All beach necessities are thought of and the outside showers, grills, and patio are perfect for a relaxing night.

Beautiful Beach House with many extras!

We loved this beach house and can't wait to return. We flew to Florida with minimal items to avoid extra luggage costs and they had thought of everything you would need for a great time enjoying the ocean - coolers, sand toys, beach cart, umbrellas, etc. My favorite were the bikes and kayaks though!
