BAD WEATHER**- Refunds will only be made for MANDATORY evacuations for hurricanes or tropical storms heading into the Gulf of Mexico towards the Peninsula. If you and your guests are on-site, we will ask you to vacate immediately and follow local evacuation protocols and the nights that will be missed will be partially refunded. If there is a storm prior to your arrival that requires evacuation, you will be refunded 100%. Coastal weather can be volatile, and we can’t always guarantee sunshine or when a storm or rain swell will occur. We suggest purchasing travelers' insurance, as coastal weather is very unpredictable.
**Power and Internet**- You are staying at a home where weather can be unpredictable. That being said, internet can be spotty or go out completely. We are on a Peninsula, so it may take crews a day or two to fix any issues.

Great communication with host

I loved staying at this home. It was spacious enough for 10 guests. The location was super convenient for when we had to run to the store to buy things we had forgotten, it was just two minutes away. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking! When i had any questions for the host, they were sure to answer as soon as possible! Will 100% be back to this home!

Perfect location!

This property is located in the perfect spot! Close to the local grocery store and the beach both you can get to by golf cart. Restaurants are just a short drive down the road. Property was well stocked in the kitchen for cooking, we have such a large family we always take extra toilet paper, paper towels and trash bags, so I’m not sure how much is actually provided for guests at this property. We did use a few beach toys that were located in the garage and the grill which was convenient. Communication was excellent with the property owners. The only downfall is a lift would have been super convenient to take up and down luggage and stuff after a day a the beach. Overall was a great stay!

Lovely, and perfect beach getaway!

My friends & I stayed at this beautiful beach house for a girl’s weekend getaway and it was really perfect. So clean & exactly as described in the listing. Colleen was easy to work with and very communicative. It was only a 5 minute walk to the beach, and I love that there is a noise ordinance after 10pm because we are not partiers lol. I would absolutely stay here again. It was exactly what we needed.
