Cute house!

The neighborhood was like a movie set. The house was clean and the pool was nice. We enjoyed the golf cart even though it almost left us stranded. Plenty of bath towels for everyone.

Spring Break

It was a fun and relaxing time for everyone. The house was nice and the pool was heated which was a pleasant surprise. The golf cart made it easy to go back and forth to the beach.

Fantastic home

This home has recently been updated and was very clean. I have done other weekly rentals of vacation homes and this one was the best! The home was very clean and welcoming. We were totally comfortable from the moment we opened the door. The fans were on, it was cool, there was music playing. The property manager was very communicative and easy to reach. 10 out of 10, definitely recommend!

Great House

Perfect size place for our family of 5 and great location. Having free access to the golf cart was a big perk. The kids loved the game room / garage and we had a great time hanging out by the pool.
