WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY:
Absolutely one of the cleanest and most complete properties we have stayed at to date! Everything that you needed was there! The team at Beach Reunion was literally available 24/7 to answer any questions or respond to even the smallest issue! Wish there were more than 5 stars to give, because this one is a 10! -Michael
Southbound is the perfect house for a group vacation! The high ceilings and beautiful kitchen amaze you as you walk in. The rooms are huge with comfortable beds, TV's, and cool beach decor. We sat in the hot tub everyday while kids played in the pool. Both were heated. The electric 6 seat golf cart ensured we were riding in style. The entire house was clean and felt like our home away from home. The Destiny East amenities added an extra layer of comfort knowing the kids could bike, play, and explore all without us leaving the neighborhood. You can't go wrong staying at Southbound. -Willie
We loved our stay at Southbound! Honestly can’t think of one negative part. The home was spacious & beautiful! It had everything you could need. Outdoor seating area & pool were fantastic. Using the golf cart to get to the beach made it super easy and convenient. Any questions we had were addressed very quickly. Would definitely recommend this property & would love to stay here again! -Muneta
Absolutely beautiful property, our first time staying in a home as opposed to a condo as our family grows. The house is gorgeous and honestly could have stayed there and skipped the beach there was so much to do. Well maintained property especially the kitchen we planned to go out to dinner but instead opted to cook, and enjoy the pool. The kitchen ammenties had top notch ammenties and everything we needed. Love the big center island! Wish I could have stayed longer. Beach Reunion responded to all my questions almost immediately. So glad I opted for a home with pool as with a 17th month old it made it hard to stay on the beach all day. It was so peaceful and relaxing I think I may have actually convinced my husband that we need a pool! -Josephine
