    This house is amazing! There’s everything you need for your stay from kitchen items to towels and games. The view is stunning and having Thomas’ Donuts next door is the best!!

    We found the house interior was well appointed, clean and comfortable. The decks both overlooked the beach and were amazing!We found the pool area full of debris and the chairs were stained and no cushions were available. The seating is not what was reflected in the images provided. The grill, old and dirty and in need of maintenance. We did contact management about the pool chairs and cushions and were told they would contact owners… we never heard back from them There was a tornado warning and gale force winds while we were there It would have been nice if there was information in the house for what to do in case of an emergency.Overall we had a great time, the beach is beautiful!

    Beautiful home with amazing beach views. One disadvantage is since the beach is public, you will likely see more people and may have less privacy compared to a rental with private beach access. Public beaches can become very crowded, especially during peak times, which can be noisy and busy.

    First, I want to say that the house itself is beautiful overall. The elevator was a great feature, especially for convenience, but it exited outside with no cover. Unfortunately, it rained the entire week we were there, so by the time we went from the elevator to the car, we were soaking wet.The house is three stories, and the top floor—where the kitchen is located—has stunning windows that perfectly frame the ocean view. While they were gorgeous, the living room setup on this floor felt small and broken up due to the window layout. For our group of 10, it didn’t function well as the main entertaining space. We often felt separated, sitting on opposite sides of the room. The second floor had a large couch, which worked well for games, but ideally, the main gathering space would have been on the top floor where the view is.The bedrooms were lovely and comfortable, and we all slept well. There were plenty of towels, and the kitchen was very well stocked with quality pots and pans—much better than other VRBO properties we’ve stayed in. The only inconvenience was discovering there was no can opener after we had already started cooking. It was late, so we couldn’t get one that evening.The location beside the donut shop was convenient for quick bites and treats, but it also meant constant foot traffic and cars coming and going. This made it feel like people were always looking in through the top floor windows.Unfortunately, we couldn’t enjoy the porches much because of the

    We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. It was everything you could ask for. The beach is across the street and you have views from all the front windows. Thomas Donuts and Snack Shop, and Thomas Pizza and Cream is next door so you can just walk next door and get donuts for breakfast and pizza for lunch. You also have your own private pool in the backyard.

    Great location with incredible views. The house was equipped with anything you would need to prepare gourmet meals, relax in luxury with jacuzzi tub and pool. We will be back!

    We absolutely enjoyed our stay. Loved the location directly across the street from the beach. We didn’t use the pool; however, it looked clean and tidy. We would definitely stay here again.

    We all enjoyed our stay. There were four things that I would consider negatives: Road noise when you are sitting out on the decks (You get a little use to it the longer you are there) (If the doors are closed there is NO noise in the home) Only one extra blanket (Truly nowhere near enough for a 4 bedroom) (A few throws would be nice) No furniture on 1st floor balcony (Main balcony could use a little more setting) The last thing which for us was the biggest thing is the heated pool did not work. The last night a maintenance man came by and said he got it going and should be ready by morning, but of course we were leaving that morning. (This was one of our must haves when we were look for homes on the beach with having 3 kids) I would list all the positives but to be honest there are two many to list. the house itself is beautiful and spacious. We will definitely consider this house again for our yearly family vacation.
