    What a wonderful place to vacation with the family! My family loves puzzles and we were excited to see there were a few at the house. My kids loved having a puzzle out on the table while we enjoyed our stay. We loved all the paddle boards and kayaks and couldn't get enough of the beach! We shopped at a grocery store nearby and enjoyed bbqing on the grill and really just enjoying this very comfortable and very family friendly home. The hosts were great and responded quickly to our questions. Thank you for everything, we cant wait to come back

    Our stay was very comfortable with everything we need at a convenient distance. We were able to park in the garage and having the chairs/toys/boogie boards was a nice perk.

    Our stay was fantastic! The place was bright and airy. When you opened the front door you could hear the sound of the waves crashing. About a mile away was another beach (Naples) i would recommend this as opposed to swimming the ocean. But a GREAT place to get away and hear the beach and relax!

    What a wonderful, relaxing few days we had at this property. It is steps from the beach and bay sides of the peninsula. The home was perfect for being together as a family and enjoying the beach. There were plenty of sun, sand and water toys to keep us all busy. The A/C didn’t get very cold in the bedrooms, but I will take that as an offset to how wonderful everything else was here. I wish I had found this place years ago, I would have booked it a few times a year.

    Small older beach house near the ocean. We used the beach chairs once, though the weather was cool for April. Second street has nice shops and restaurants.

    2 week work trip. I would definitely bring my family out. Maybe 50 yards from the beach. Lots of fun to be had in a 1 mile area. Great beds and atmosphere.

    The beach is our happy place--and this location was absolutely perfect, even better than described. The home was well-appointed. From three very comfortable rooms, two bathrooms, and a large open common area with plenty of seating around the table and sofa. The decor was gorgeous--beach chic and simple which gave plenty of space for our items and to feel at home for our stay. The home includes all the items you could possibly want for the beach or the bay--our family utilized the paddle boards, kayak, wagons, and chairs. The beach really is just a few yards from the front door and, while the home doesn't have a beach view from inside, you can hear the waves crashing with the window open. We watched several sunsets sitting on the ledge not far from the front door. Excellent shell hunting and we saw several dolphins from the shore. Just one block the other direction is the bay---providing early morning shell and sea life hunting. We found a small octopus, star fish, sand dollars, and so much more. The bay is so very quiet in the morning--swimmers and early morning paddleboard/kayakers enjoy the peace as it slowing wakes up to families enjoying the beaches and quieter waters. We'd 100% stay here again.
