Great escape for our young family!

We spent 10 days - my wife and our two year old and two month old, near my wife's family, and really loved it. The house is as it seems in the pictures - cute, comfortable, inviting, stacked with everything you need - and lots of fun things to keep you and friends/family entertained (pickleball court was great!). Chrissy and John are very responsive, answered questions typically in minutes and even sent someone to the house when there was a (minor) issue. Highly recommend!

Great house!!

The house was very clean, well decorated, and in a quiet neighborhood. There was plenty to keep everyone entertained between all the games and pool. I think my kids spent the most time playing basketball and playing in the pool. The house is a quick drive to the beach, and beach chairs, toys, and wagon are all included. If you want a house where you can enjoy the beach and the pool, this is the perfect house! We had a great time at this house!

Great celebration!

The property was meticulously maintained. Gorgeous, clean, quality furniture and appliances! We (6 of us) all enjoyed our stay. The house is wonderful but the extra amenities made it the perfect place to have fun! I think the only equipment we didn’t use was bowling. Wonderful owners, very communicative and in touch. Lots of fun!

When I say this place has everything, it’s no exaggeration. We had our who family and everyone always had something to do. There was a pool cleaning service that came every other day like clockwork. The neighborhood is quiet and just a quick drive to the beach. The hosts are absolutely incredible! They genuinely want this to be your best vacation experience. We will book here every time visit.
