This property was exactly what we needed for our summer camp planning retreat! The house was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The beach was perfect for filming our pirate shots! The town had everything we needed from meals and runs to the store to pick stuff up, we lacked nothing. I highly recommend this home ! We had a great time!

The Princess and the Sea is an absolutely spectacular beach house! Our entire group genuinely loved every second of our week long stay! We thoroughly enjoyed and utilized all 3 amazing beachfront decks, all 6 spacious bedrooms, the extra long dining table, the separate game table, the ground floor swinging chairs, the well stocked kitchen & laundry room, and the super comfortable living space! Standouts for this house were the hammock, the music system, the bunk room for all ages, extra frig space and the 2 ridiculously comfy recliners that we wanted to bring home with us! The house is perfectly located far enough away from the beach to enjoy every bit of the beauty without hearing the occasional beach traffic. This beautiful home at the beach truly helped make our stay extra enjoyable! A huge thank you to our host Melinda for all of her help and going the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed on our amazing vacation!

The Princess and the Sea Beach House truly deserves a 5-star rating! Every bedroom had its own private bath and beautiful balcony with breathtaking views. Parking was never an issue—we comfortably parked 8 vehicles with room to spare.There’s an awesome game room that kept both kids and adults entertained. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream and fully stocked with everything you could imagine—Melinda left nothing out, from toasters and mixers to gorgeous serving dishes. There were plenty of kitchen and bathroom towels, dual washers and dryers, and even an extra refrigerator for additional storage.Outside amenities were just as impressive, with a great smoker and fire pit—the list honestly goes on and on. Melinda also checked in several times to make sure everything was going smoothly and reminded us to reach out if we needed anything, which made our stay even better.If you’re looking for the perfect place for a beach getaway, this is absolutely the place to stay!

Perfect for our group!

This house was the perfect size for us. Room for everyone, and the number of bathrooms made it perfection! There was great communication before, during, and even after. I knew that if I needed anything, I would get a quick response. The house was clean, but some trash was missed in the bathrooms from the previous guests. That wasn't a big deal, just odd. The kitchen had everything we needed to have a couple of meals on beach days during the week, and that was very appreciated! It was a longer trip to the beach than we hoped for, but still not bad. It's a 5-7 minute walk, so we just loaded up together and took a vehicle so that no one had to carry all of our beach gear. The house is seriously ideal for a family trip, and we would definitely stay here again!

Perfect graduation getaway vacation!

We had the most amazing stay at this beautiful gulf-front beach house! It provided more than enough space for our group of family and friends to relax, reconnect, and make unforgettable memories to celebrate our daughter's graduation. Every corner of the house was thoughtfully designed and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and stress-free vacation.Though it is a very short walk to the beach, one of the highlights was having the golf cart—such a fun and convenient way to get to the shore! It made our beach days even more enjoyable and easy, especially with kids and gear in tow. The home itself is spacious and welcoming, with stunning views and plenty of areas to gather or find a quiet moment. Communication with the host was truly top-notch—they were responsive, friendly, and went out of their way to ensure our stay was perfect from start to finish.We loved every minute of our stay and will definitely recommend this gem to anyone looking for a relaxing, beachside escape. Kudos to the host who made my daughter's milestone a memory to cherish forever!

Perfect Weekend Getaway

I host an annual mother-daughter trip each year and this house fit the bill in all areas. Spacious rooms, great location, wonderful views and each bedroom with its own bathroom was a HUGE plus. That is what sold me on this home. It was beautiful, had all of the necessities that we needed and was just perfect for us! We will return again.

Best Family Vacation Ever

The house was amazing! Felt like home from the moment we stepped in. The layout is perfect for family get togethers including cooking dinners together to playing games. We had a group of 12 including 3 children and we all fit comfortably and each family had their own private space. The views from the deck are breathtaking and the hosts were very responsive and checked on us a few times to make sure everything was going well! Would definitely recommend this property for your next vacation stay!
