Our family had a great vacation and we’re so glad we picked this duplex. It is located right on the beach but not near any condos or hotels so we were able to set up our canopy and enjoy our own beach space. We relaxed on both decks and liked that the upper deck was fully enclosed so my 20-month-old grandson could be outside playing there without worry that he might get sunburnt or fall down steps. The dolphins put on amazing shows in the gulf waters while we watched from the decks. The property is clean, well maintained, and the kitchen has everything needed to cook meals for our family of nine, including a large stock pot and a small crockpot. Communication with the host and check-in were a breeze. Pack your swimsuit, beach towels, and toiletries and get ready for an amazing beach vacation!

We enjoyed our stay so much. There is plenty of room and great views. We enjoyed being on the “less busy” part of the beach. I saw dolphins every morning from the decks. The house was very clean upon arrival. We had great communication with our host. We would love to come back and stay again. Highly recommend for couples or families. Great location!

Great stay

We had a great stay! We accidentally booked during the hangout festival, and were worried the beach would be super crowded however, this location felt like we had a private beach area even with the festival going on only about 2 miles away. We will definitely stay here again.
