Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This home was luxurious, spacious, and comfortably fit our family of 16! The pool and grounds were gorgeous, and the beach was just a short walk away. The quiet beaches made it easier to watch our little ones, and we loved seeing dolphins, stingrays, and fish.Communication was exceptional. When a shower wasn’t heating properly, they sent Brandon, who fixed it immediately and was so personable. Whenever we wanted the hot tub heated, a quick message was all it took.My dad has ALS, and this may have been our last beach vacation together as an entire family. Having such a beautiful place to gather and make memories meant more than we can express. We couldn’t have asked for a more special stay.
