    Perfect location for our golf tournament at Moody. The house was clean and communication before and during our stay was excellent! They accommodated a noon check out even for the ladies waiting on the tournament to end! The sitting area was nice downstairs for morning coffee and was a quiet area with not much traffic. We look forward booking again in the future.

    Good neighborhood, conveniently located, very child friendly. Great house for family of 3-4 and was well-equipped for our toddler. Also had lots of beach accessories. Hosts were very friendly, helpful, and quick to respond.

    This home was so clean!! So well thought out. So prepared for children and families alike. The layout is beautiful, every thing was in pristine condition, the AC worked wonders and the shed full of beach toys made our stay amazing! We flew in from Seattle to visit family and I will absolutely be back, and will book with them again in the future.10 out of 10 recommend!

    My wife was so impressed by your house. She said she could really tell the owners were peole who took pride in their product, provided a quality stay with wonderful amentities and even went above and beyond providing toys inside the house, a pack & play, a first-aide kit, an emergency phone number left on the fridge, and not just any old dinnerware and utensils. The place was clean, inviting, and comfortable. The patio furniture was nice and good quality and the outdoor bikes/beach toys and all the little extras just really left an impact and wonderful added touch to help minimize our travel needs and make it even more fun for our children while we were there. Thank you for making the trip feel more like an extended stay instead of a nickle and dime VRBO. She noticed and appreciated the extra work and effort you put into making stays more enjoyable really thinking about the guests ensuring family fun was comfortable, relaxing and cherished memories by all! The surrounding neighborhood was also really nice! We met the neighbors, took our golf cart we towed with us and zipped around enjoying the sunsets.

    We were not able to stay due to the hurricane and the owners were amazing at communicating and being understanding. They facilitated a refund without any issues and will definitely stay there again if needed!

    It had everything we needed! So nice to have the AC going when we got there. Bonus points because other family members booked the house next door. We will definitely book again.

    We rented this house for a weekend fishing trip with 3 people. The house was in a good location and easy access to marina for our daily guide trips on the water. House was clean and communication with host was great.

    House was exactly as listed. Check-in was extremely easy and finding the location was spot on. The house was about 10-15 mins from everything needed. The neighborhood was very quiet, and the yard was large enough for our furry family member. Being able to bring him with the family made the stay even better.

    Bay Views Cottage was perfect. If cleanliness and child/dog friendly is important to you, then this is your place. Very kid/fur baby friendly - with gates to protect them from falling down the stairs or wondering off. The bikes and beach items were great to use and fun for the whole family. The location is great. There is a cute shopping, coffee shop area we really enjoyed. Beach house smelled amazing, and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the games and the downstairs area. The Elrod family was quick to respond and very nice to work with. Thank you for a great weekend.
