    We had an amazing stay here for Thanksgiving. The kitchen was the most well stocked kitchen of any rental we've ever been in. There was nothing missing that we needed and we needed a lot for Thanksgiving. The host left a sweet welcome gift and introduced us to an amazing local boutique. Location was perfect, walking the beach, beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Hot tub was a great perk for the cooler weather.

    Property was beautiful, weather perfect. This house had everything we could have wanted in space and amenities plus the kitchen was well stocked. We liked seeing the owners pictures and reading their stories. Checking in was so easy and Bob is very accessible, helpful and friendly.The only thing we wished for was our own access to the beach. Sharing the walkway was okay but our decks were not as private as we would have liked with the arrangement.We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends and family.

    Group of friends headed to the beach for spring break. This house was lovely, clean, had great beach decorations, and lots of space. Being right on the beach provided amazing views of sunrises, dolphins, and pelicans flying by.

    We all enjoyed our stay in your beautiful home. The canopy tent was a lifesaver for our long days on the beach, as were the beach chairs the house had everything we could ask for except a pizza pan(lol)We had a great time collecting shells, walking on beach, soaking in hot tub and playing games. We survived the tropical storm that hit on our second day there. We ohioans dont see rain like that! the rest of the week was great weather and we even saw the dolphins a couple different times. Would certainly stay at this location again. A big thank you for the chocolates, they were delicious!

    A perfect house right on the beach, and the property manager was very responsive. The views are wonderful, and the owners even gave us a gift certificate to a local chocolate shop! We truly enjoyed our week.
