Lovely

Lovely location right on the beach. Quiet, breezy, restful, even though for a work meeting. House is pretty shaky in the wind, a little disconcerting. But super clean and perfect for our needs.

Family and Friends Get Away

Our family and friends had a wonderful time. The house is super spacious, and many amenities were unexpected. The Wi-Fi worked well, and most of the rooms had televisions. The kitchen was outfitted with pretty much everything. The porches, deck chairs, carport seating, and outdoor shower added to the square footage for our people. We will definitely go back again!

Great Friends and Family Home

This home was perfect for the 15 of us. The kitchen and living room space were perfect for allowing us to dine together. The easy access to the beach was a huge plus! Outdoor shower and foot wash helped so much to prevent sand from being tracked in. Neighbors were nice and beach was clean. I will definitely be booking again for the summer.

2023 Summer Vacation

The house and property were very nice. It was a little off the beaten path so not as packed on the beach as other houses we've stayed in on peninsula before which was nice with little ones. The only complaint anyone in our group really had was that the house definitely feels every little footstep and sways with you and we've stayed in swaying houses before but this one really does. :)

Moore stay

Great property! It’s like you have your own private beach. The company that manages the property could be a lot better. The woman that takes calls is extremely rude and needs to learn how to talk to people. The listing on VRBO is somewhat deceiving it doesn’t state a two animal limit. It just asks if you are traveling with pets.

Fun family vacation!

Thoroughly enjoyed our week at the Blue Footed Booby! The house was clean and well equipped. They had everything we needed and the listing let us know we needed to bring beach stuff (towels, chairs and toys. Although there were a lot of beach toys left from other visitors). They were on fire when it came to replying to our messages! Super fast! The tv remote control was MIA and within 20 minutes a new one was delivered! Thank y’all so much!

Perfect 10 out of 10!

The communication with the property manager was perfect always returning emails and answering call. The home was spotless, spacious and the view is breathtaking. We had a large get together for Thanksgiving here and the kitchen had so many dishes, utensils and pans that we didn't need to even bring our own things. Wonderful memories were made here during our stay and we can't thank you enough for that.

Great “right on the beach” rental

The house exceeded our expectations: literally just a short walk over one dune to get to the beach; a wonderful deck with lots of seating and a great view of the beach; a clean, uncrowded beach; and a clean and well-stocked house! Our big family had plenty of beds and bathrooms.
