Beautiful house in a perfect location. Our family had a wonderful time here, watched the sunrise from bed, spent every morning at the beach, afternoons by the pool, then evenings back on the beach for the sunset. Even caught a few fish off the back dock. Had a few issues but the owners were really friendly and helpful.

Great place for fishing and the beach

The house and furniture are old but in great shape. It’s perfect for a boat and fishing and the beach is right across the road. What better to cool off after a hot day of outdoor activities than a nice dip the pool.

Great location!

We loved staying at the flamingo house. It was just what we needed. We were able to fish off the dock, off the beach and find tons of shark teeth. The beach was pretty empty in the evening which was really nice for sunset walks. And the hosts were very responsive and had all the small touches you might need when traveling. In

Perfect Vacation

We had a fabulous time. This home is clean and well furnished. The beach is private and perfect for relaxing. There is a wide variety of wildlife in the area to enjoy. At night we saw so many sea turtles coming in to nest when we walked the shoreline. During the day we saw manatees and dolphins playing in the bay behind the house. We also came across a cute little tortoise and a couple of armadillos. We loved it here so much we even looked homes for sale in the area.

Overall thoroughly enjoyed the property, conveniently located and had a wonderful stay. Neighborhood is very quiet and the beach is very private. Our dog enjoyed the beach as much as we did. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen could have a few more plates and silverware. No other complaints.

Great location

Check in and communication, we had no issues. House is in a private gated area which was great because public parking and beach were within walking distance. There was some traffic during the day as there’s construction on a home just down the road but the construction workers were very respectful. The house is nice, not many personal touches, no rugs, only a couple pictures on the walls but that wasn’t an issue. House could use a deep cleaning, but otherwise was clean. Bed was comfortable. View of the bay was great and so peaceful, great place to drink coffee at sunrise. There’s no view of the gulf side but it’s literally just across the road. The dock is in serious need of repairs, I’m assuming hurricane damage. Should be sure footed while walking on dock and definitely not for small children. House has lots of parking, pool was great and enjoyable. Kitchen pretty well stocked with supplies. There weren’t many extras in the house (sheets, blankets, pillows or pillow cases, etc) but they did provide beach towels and of course bath towels. Beach equipment was ok. Bicycles were great to ride on but you can’t take them out of the gated area, only in the neighborhood. Tv service is spotty, but that was explained before booking so we expected that. Best restaurant we found was The Crows Nest, food was phenomenal and service excellent! We enjoyed the house and would definitely stay again.

Truly felt like a home away from home!

Private yet convenient to beach, restaurants and shopping. Spent a lot of time on the dock, in the pool and enjoying sunsets. Everything you need to make yourself at home. Our 1 year old Golden was comfortable the first time she came through the door. Hung out by the pool and the dock like she owned the place. The biggest compliment. They know. Would return in a heartbeat!

Relaxing stay for our family

The house was great for us - it was me/husband, my mom and for part of the time her friend, plus two dogs. The area is quiet & secluded, it feels like you're in nature with the mangroves out back and gopher tortoises roaming in the yard. We even watched an eagle hunting/fishing in the intracoastal. The beach is a short walk over the dunes. Our only minor disappointment is that the pool didn't heat quite warm enough for us to use.
