    Thank you very much for everything! The house was beautiful, very clean and well stocked with everything to accommodate our stay. For some of us it was our first time seeing the ocean and it was a fantastic first experience. We loved the hot tub and huge table for our games, the view and the space. We've already discussed coming back and sincerely hope to in the future.

    Overall, a positive experience here. There were some minor maintenance issues that arose, but they were addressed by the host. This home is better stocked than most rentals I’ve seen. Would stay here again.

    It was a great time staying at this house.It slept 2 families of 4, and we had plenty of space.The views from the top floor were amazing and my favorite thing about this house.Layout is a bit odd but very accommodating.Hot tub is very nice as well but does not go over 99 degrees. Charcoal grill is only available on site, but it works just fine. Our only concern was, that the place was not cleaned well.Floors were very dirty, and couches had animal hair all over them. The first night both of our 2 and 4 year old's got bitten by fleas.We had to spend entire day cleaning the house and find remedies for fleas.

    This property was absolutely perfect for our family vacation! 4 generations- ages 2 to 82 years old. The layout is wonderful - the main living area and kitchen is all together but when you need a little time to yourself, the bedrooms are all separate enough. Having a bathroom inside all bedrooms was perfect for privacy and convenience. We cooked almost every meal and the kitchen was extremely well stocked. It was spotless when we arrived also. The location was wonderful - it’s not in the middle of the high rise busy traffic section so it’s quiet and the beach isn’t crowded there. The house is literally a few steps onto the beach - even closer than we thought it would be. We honestly couldn’t think of anything we would change or need. The whole family agreed they’d like to come back to the same place again next year. An easy 5/5 experience for us.

    I've stayed in 100's of BnBs/Rentals across the globe. I have never stayed somewhere that so exceeded expectations. Location, Location, Location. Is perfect. 50 yards from the beach. the heavy beach crowd falls on either side of a series of houses, with this in the middle. So the beach is less congested. It's easy walking distance to a great seafood place (Surfside seafood) which also has a bar. The Alibi Bar is also nearby with live bands. A longer but doable walk to strip mall with a great Pizza place (Brick and Barley) liquor store (Newbys) and Ice cream shoppe (Mr Puffs). 10 min from the wharf and St Andrews old town and state park. The white sands are just as advertised. House Amenities Completely updated and renovated. 5 bedrooms, each with a very nice walk in shower. The Master in the basement has a king and a day bed which would slide four kids or two adults. Basically you can sleep in beds 16 people and have 5 full baths and 2 1/2 baths to work with. The tile is neat and easy to keep clean. The ENORMOUS table can seat 16 with another 8 or so at a large kitchen buffet. Kitchen is completely stocked with everything you need to cook. Decor is great and modern. Little things like power strips with USB ports in all the room and multiple outlets on the breakfast bar. The two large tables on the upper deck (which is covered) is a great. Negatives? gotta stretch to find any. Beach chairs could use updating. The front door electronic lock is finicky.

    This property was amazing! Very well stocked, both kitchen and bathrooms. We loved sitting on the balcony to drink our coffee. Very close to the water. I would love to stay here again. We didn’t have any issues but a couple of questions that were answered very quickly by Patrick. I highly recommend this house!

    The beachfront home is nicely nestled among low-rise townhomes. Majority of the time, the location is very quiet with low traffic. There is a bar a couple of blocks within walking distance if you're looking for some evening grub and live music; if not, then you're insulated from the sounds once inside. The rental is well depicted in all the online photos - it was spacious for 5 teenagers (shared the downstairs bedrooms), 4 adults (upstair bedrooms), and a sweet Bullmastiff. We had a great view and it was so convenient to walk to and from the beach. Despite it being a holiday weekend, our location was not crowded compared to the high rise condominiums further down on both sides. What a convenience and perk not to struggle for elevators and crowds!

    Extremely kid friendly house! Well stocked with anything you could possibly need and very spacious. Pictures accurately depict house. Only suggestion would be to update some of the beach chairs.
