    Very cute place to play. So much better than staying in a hotel room. The kitchen was a nice size with everything we needed. We enjoy the outdoors so it was nice to have breakfast outside by the pool. Such a nice neighborhood. Super close to the beach so you can just leave your chairs and go back to the place and have lunch and go back. Jill the owner was great with communication. She is right on your whole stay.

    Enjoyed the private pool and fenced yard as we brought our pup. Other guests on property were respectful of “social distancing” in the common area around the pool & grill. Property was very clean and recently remodeled. Great location as it’s a block walk to the beach and easy drive or trolley ride located midway between Holmes Beach & Coquina Beach. Some of the most Beautiful beaches in Florida!

    Very nice little property, steps away from the Beach, but not right on busy Gulf Ave.The pool area and patio are very nice. Nice furniture, and the pool is heated. There is a gas grill, and Beach chairs and umbrellas for guests use. I rented the one bedroom. It had everything I needed for my two week stay.

    The host was wonderful with communication. We had a very short stay so not many things were needed. The only problem was that the tv volume in the bedroom wouldn’t work on some platforms.

    My husband I stayed at Christine’s place for two nights. It was clean and Christine responded immediately to any questions we had. Parking was easy and there were plenty of beach chairs available. The pool was clean, the AC worked well, and we were less than a block from the ocean. We typically stay closer to Bridge Street so that we can walk for coffee and to shops and restaurants, but Christine’s place was only a twenty minute beach walk away and probably worth it to some for the quiet. And there’s always the free trolley option. The only suggestion I might make is to add some personal touches, like paperbacks and board games, but I know she just bought the property and I’m sure these things will come in time. All in all, great little place to stay for one or two people.

    Great, as usual. We love the location and the building, too. A nice slice of old Florida beaches, but with today’s conveniences. A/C, TV, internet…plus with the other amenities like a kitchen with a real stove and refrigerator (although, we didn’t need them this time). We had one hiccup when the shower quit working…Jill had it taken care of early the next day. All in all, we had a great time and we’re ready to reserve again for next year! Thanks to Jill!

    This was a great property and perfect size and set up for what I needed for a week at the beach. The only negative thing was the shower. The water pressure was not great and a took a bit of guesswork to figure out the temperature. Jill was great to communicate everything about my stay and ensured my stay went well.
