The deck views- front and back- were fantastic. House was clean and well stocked; host was very accessible and responsive. Check in and out was incredibly easy. There were no hidden fees or surprise deposits required, which says much about the host- a straight up guy. We plan on coming back soon!

The beach house is right on the beach. Very clean, lots of room. Nice that master bedroom had its own private balcony. The only thing I would add is a first aid kit. We had a guest get a cut and there was no first aid kit. Highly recommend the beach house and the owner was very reponsive!

Perfect Getaway!

Three old friends hanging out and relaxing. Sitting on the deck sipping cocktails, watching the "Strawberry Moon", feeling the breeze from the Gulf and hearing the sweet roar of the surf. It doesn't get much better! The house is beautiful and immaculate. We were there in the middle of the week and it was very quiet and peaceful. We will be back!!!
