The property was great for a large family gathering - a comfortable waterfront family home. Commercial refrigerator, 2 ovens a plus. The host, Melissa, was easy to contact. We would definitely stay again.

We brought our family down and our son and daughter-in-love got married on the property at sunset. We could not have chosen a better location. The house is beautiful! The porches are fantastic and the screened in back porch with it's rocking chairs and bed swing were a favorite hang out for all of us. The bedrooms are perfectly spaced and beds are comfy. We ranged in age from 18 to 75 and everyone enjoyed our stay. We will most certainly come back with our family. Ms. Melissa is the perfect Host!! She was always easy to reach and willing to help us in any way she could. We highly recommend this home!
Our son and daughter-in-love were married here at sunset. Beautiful venue for a small wedding and our Host Ms. Melissa is such a huge help!

Family fun.

It was as pictured and priced fairly. My family enjoyed their stay and we should have stay at least one more day. There was plenty of room for family games and dinning on the porch. We absolutely loved the wrapped around porch!

An Idyllic Holiday

There's a little trepidation when you book online but the owners helped us through it by allowing an early visit to the property. She also answered every question we had and was extremely helpful overall. Every person in our group was smitten with spme part of the house. The wrap around porch was a hit. The views are spectacular

Palmetto porch

The porch was huge and wrapped around. The view was on the bay. The bedrooms were great and plenty of them. The beach was good but the clam shells cut your feet so you need water shoes. We would recommend for families

Great beach house for a large extended family

We stayed at Melissa‘s house for a family reunion over memorial day weekend. This is a great house for a large family. We loved the outdoor space, the wide porches. We also enjoyed having the space of the the commercial size refrigerator and commercial icemaker in the laundry room. We had some questions about the house and Melissa was a great communicator. She answered all our questions. We enjoyed our stay very much and hope to stay there again in the future.

Great Family Reunion!

This place was beyond expectation. The bedrooms were spread out and each family unit had their own bathroom. The Green egg grill was perfect! The young kids had a blast on the private beach. I highly recommend this place for a large gathering!

It's already been said, but the pictures do not do this home/location justice!

We stayed here as a family of 16 ranging in age from 3 to 77 and were perfectly comfortable. The layout was perfect and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. The location is prime! The private beach out the back and the boat slip and bay out front, plus a large yard for the kids and dogs to run in was incredible! We will most certainly request to stay here again!

Family Christmas 2023

Our family of 15 ranging in age from 2-81 years of age go on a family trip for Christmas every year. So far we have never repeated houses or location. This might be the year that changes. This place was perfect and we had so much fun. It was on a quiet road surrounded by water with beautiful views. The porch was unlike any other. The Host Melissa became an instant friend and was so easy to communicate with. I wish we could have stayed a little longer. The house is close enough to restaurants and entertainment to be convenient. We will most definitely be back!!!

WONDERFUL Spot for a Large Group

The photos really don't do this place justice. It is a HUGE, beautiful home with a fantastic kitchen (massive fridge and an industrial ice maker), big, sunny bedrooms, a spectacular wraparound porch, and a gorgeous private beach, complete with beach loungers, umbrellas, and even kayaks and paddle boats. We had our family reunion here, and everyone had plenty of room to spread out, relax, and play. Melissa is so kind and responsive, and she made us feel welcome and cared for. I can't recommend this property enough if you're looking for a great experience with a large group.

Moss family vacation

23 people fit nicely. Vents and dryer ducts plugged. One bed had dirty sheets. Lots of kitchen stuff, towels and misc. kayaks, paddle boats were great. There were cockroaches, big ones and little ones. Closets were full of owners stuff and couldn’t be used. Some rooms didn’t have dressers so suitcases were put on floor. Only two trash bins is not enough. Water pressure was great and air conditioning worked very well.

Family Vacation

We absolutely loved our stay!! The house was great! It was better than we expected! It was very quiet and peaceful. Plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. Small private beach was very nice. We loved the porches! We spent a lot of time out on the porches enjoying the view and playing when it was raining. There was even a bonus....a Sonic icemaker! You know, it is the simple things that make all of the difference! Melissa was so kind and helpful with all of our questions! We would highly recommend this house to anyone!! Thank you, Melissa!!

Perfect Family Gathering Location

We had an amazing experience at this lovely home. It was the perfect location for our extended family to gather and spend time together. The private beach was ideal for our young children to play, and adults and kids alike loved kayaking in the bay. The huge screened porch was our favorite place to gather as a family and relax together. Added bonuses included a nugget (Sonic-style) ice machine on site and 2 washers and dryers for our large family in the laundry room. Melissa was very responsive and a gracious host throughout our stay. I would highly recommend this property!

Hurricane Evacuation vacation

I can't say enough fantastic things about Mrs Melissa who rented this property to us. It was a last minute hurricane evacuation from our home and she was so sweet and accommodating. It was such a beautiful and peaceful property to relax and lay out and enjoy some sun. Plenty of space for a large group. We hope to stay there again!

BEST Low-Key Vacation - BANG-4-BUCK

More beautiful than a photo can do justice. This house is immaculate. There is ample space for a family reunion. Fully enclosed porch means weather never matters, EVEN THE RAINY DAYS ARE BEAUTIFUL!! WHAT?? My family had the best time we couldn't imagine. Even the neighbors are hospitable to ensure you enjoy your time. I thank you Melissa for working with all of our needs, and always being available if needed. The view of the Coast, the Gulf waters, the dolphins(we saw dolphins, from the driveway-view of water), the moonlight over the bay, and the rocked-in beach that personalizes your own beach, are a few of the things you'll enjoy on your stay here. Nothing lacking from this beautiful beach house. *5*star*indeed**

Excellent family vacation!

The home was large enough to comfortably accommodate our family of 23, and the kids never ran out of things to do. Was great being on the bay side where the water was much calmer and the kids could play without the fear of riptides. Looking forward to coming back next year!
