    We had a wonderful time. We had plenty of room, there were beautiful views from all areas of the house. They had 3 refrigerators, with 2 of them being downstairs. The 3 person elevator was definitely a plus. There are no grab bars in the bathrooms, so if you have an elderly person with you, just keep that in mind. There were some minor issues with loose towel bars and a broken shelf in refrigerator, and they were all addressed. The gas grill was not cleaned and it was actually a fire hazard, with flames coming out due to the grease not being cleaned out for a very long time. We think that they need to buy a new grill, as it was falling apart. So if grilling is important to you, make sure you address that with the host. Even with these issues, we would stay again.

    This house was everything we needed and more! We had 5 adults and 3 children and there was plenty of room for everyone. The location of the house is further down the strip which was great because it wasn't as populated and it seemed like we almost had the beach to ourselves. It was an awesome stay and we will most definitely stay there again!

    Our group was comprised of 4 families with a mix of adults and kids. The house is as nice as advertised. The place is in great shape, along with the kitchen being well stocked with needed cooking supplies, etc. The beach was immediately accessible from the back porch. Because the stretch of beach the house is on is only compromised of houses and no condos, there were few people on the beach and we felt as though we had the entire water front to ourselves. The rental was perfect for our stay.
