Perfect location - away from the crazy crowds but close enough! The home was beautiful, open and comfortable and clean. The pool was an added bonus. We loved the outdoor space. Beachball was responsive with small questions/issues. Easy drive from Penacola.

Great location

This was an excellent place for our 11-person family to spend the week of Christmas. The rental company was very easy to work with and responsive. Though the carpet was stained in places and the couches were a bit tattered, that didn't affect our stay all. Overall the house was fantastic! We loved the large ocean-view porches and there was plenty of seating for all both at the table and in the living room. The bedrooms were big with lots of beds and the four bathrooms were a huge plus. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great House for Family

Our large family had a wonderful stay at this property! The location was perfect and the size accommodated us well. One of the fridges and dryer broke during our stay and the management company sent someone out same day to fix them. The house is not very toddler/baby friendly so bring your own baby gate or a way to block off the stairs/outlets, etc.

Fun Times on the Beach

I have been renting through VRBO for several years. I like being able to have a house on the beach with enough bedrooms and baths for my large family. We had some maintenance problems but not enough to dampen our spirits about the house. Layout of bedrooms and bathrooms, seating both on the porch and inside for lounging and eating was fantastic.

The couches had rips in the cushions but it did not bother us. The house was spacious, the AC worked AMAZING and the view was breathtaking. We would DEFINATELY stay here again!

Mom's and daughters trip

The house seemed a bit run down compared to the year before. The furniture was definitely seeing wear and tear. It was clean, except for the floors. Sand even before we had been on the beach, and carpets needing a good cleaning. Everything else was extremely clean! The kitchen could use some organizing, but for the most part, anything we needed was there. The house was perfect for our group again.
