    We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year’s trip with our family. The host was fantastic—great communication, and the home was clean and well cared for. We loved the on-site activities like pickleball, cornhole, volleyball, and the fire pit, plus the easy walk to the beach just down the street. The adjoining decks made it perfect for our large group. We truly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property.

    Great location. Was one of few places available for the whole family (24). Very clean and well supplied and lots of things to do outside. Was worried about the littles going back and forth between the houses upstairs but the porches and walkover were very safe. If you are part of a large group, this place is hard to beat

    We enjoyed the stay, we had so much room for all of the kids, was safe and the kids where able to go to house to house easily. The only downside is the mosquitoes are terrible at night and not able to sit outside for long. Having bug zappers upstairs would be awesome. We donplan to book there again! So much extra stuff at the home to use as well really helped everything run smoothly.
