This house was absolutely perfect for our family vacation. The oceanfront setting offered the most fabulous view — truly breathtaking and something we never got tired of. The home itself was thoughtfully set up, comfortable, and ideal for spending quality time together. The location made it easy to enjoy island activities, and everything we wanted to do was close by. It was the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely return.

This house and location are absolutely amazing! The home was recently remodeled over the past year and it showed! We were 2 families totaling 12. We were able to spend time together and enjoy island life! We loved that the beach was just steps in front of the house and we also enjoyed the pools at the island club that was just a short golf cart ride away. The house was very clean and we loved the caretakers of this home, they were very helpful and attentive and made getting to the house and the island very easy. We highly recommend and plan to return next year!

Best Island Getaway

We had a very big group for a week and this home was perfect. Location couldn’t have been any better and everyone was extremely helpful. Not only was the house/owner great everyone on the island were great too. It was windy while we stayed so we spent a lot of time at the pool. The pool area was just as beautiful. We loved it so much and hope to go back.

Best location on the island.

Perfect beachfront spot, twenty-five feet from the water. We saw dolphins and tarpon right in front of the house. Each night we watched the most beautiful sunsets and fell asleep to the waves. Absolutely incredible.

Great week at Big!

A true beach house… Nothing fancy but all the essentials and then some. A great 6 bdr layout for large families. Best location on the island! The only downside is their 8 AM check out, but we requested a later time and they happily accommodated us. Fantastic week!

Calm and Peaceful Stay

The location is best on island from what I could tell. You can see gulf and bayside. Sunsets are amazing. Wildlife and seashells abound. The beaches are secluded for the most part with an occasion couple or family but night and day when compared to some of the more “touristy” places we have stayed along 30A. We will most certainly return. The owner and caretakers went out of their way to ensure our stay was amazing. Stephanie, Wendy and Bob were excellent communicators!

A Stunning Comeback! We Can't Wait to Return.What an absolute gem of a vacation rental! We knew the home had been recently remodeled after hurricane damage, but the care and quality that went into the restoration are truly impressive.It feels brand new, yet incredibly cozy and welcoming.The house was immaculate upon our arrival-spotlessly clean and beautifully appointed. The views are even more stunning than the photos suggest, and we spent every morning with coffee on the deck, just soaking it all in.A special shout-out to the caretakers, who were so attentive and made us feel well-looked after throughout our stay. It's clear how much pride they take in this property.We enjoyed our time so much that we've already decided we'll be back next year. Thank you for providing such a wonderful and relaxing getaway.Highly recommend!

Beach Birthday Dream

We stayed here for family birthday celebration. It was a dream come true from start to finish. The location of this home is beyond compare! Right on the beach for swimming, sunsets, shelling, and more! The interior of the home suited our extended family of 10 with a perfect gathering space as the heart of the home and respite/sleeping spaces for all. The amenities of the Island Club connection and a golf cart allowed for further exploring and fun! We left with a heart full of memories and we would definitely return to this fabulous vacation home.

Island paradise

The Island makes you relax and take life down a notch plenty to enjoy while you’re there. Kayaking saw dolphins within 20 feet playing and jumping out of the water. sightseeing for wildlife was a pleasure. You have access to two different pools and one hot tub. Mangos bar and grill had great cocktails and food wonderful people. The host Stephanie was Awesome as well as Bob and Wendy Lee the caretakers they wanted to make your stay is a special one for sure and we’re easy to get in touch with if you had any questions.

Amazing oceanfront location

We loved the Big on the beach house and it’s perfect location. We could see dolphins and manatees from both inside and outside the house. The beach front location was great for just walking out the front door to either swim or for some fishing from shore. Our favorite evening spot was the lower level, with the screened in porch and large couch! We hung out there for hours listening to the wave and watching the sunset. The hosts, Bob and Wendy were always available to answer any questions we had. When we arrived the house was spotlessly cleaned and the restaurant they recommended was fantastic. We would eat there again!

Best Birthday Ever!

My friend and I both turn 50 within days of each other. We wanted a spectacular celebration with all of our friends. Big on the Beach did not disappoint. There’s something for everyone in our very large group. Guys loved to fish and ride golf carts to explore. The girls shopped, beached, and went to the pool. Thank you for helping us celebrate our milestone birthday. -Wendy

Tropical Oasis with a view like no other

The location of this property is amazing with it being directly on the beach! We woke every morning to watching the diverse wildlife in the water and along the beach from our balconies, and the most amazing sunsets every evening! We went around the whole island and I’m not sure there is another house with this unique vantage point on the beach. We had our whole family, siblings, nieces and nephews, and parents, and all slept comfortably. We also do a lot of cooking and their kitchen was well stocked with quality kitchen items and a nice newer grill! The property owner and care takers were wonderful and very responsive, even helped us arrange transportation when we had a medical emergency.

Beach vacation

The house had an amazing location literally right on the beach. Being able to hear the waves from inside the house and on the porch was really neat. Also, being able to just walk outside and onto the beach was perfect! I will say that the house is definitely in need of some updates. Some windows leaked quite a bit during the storm and the bathrooms were small and needed updated faucets. While the house is on the beach and sand was expected, the floors definitely could have been swept better before we arrived. There were numerous collections of dust and dirt in bedrooms and living rooms and the rugs looked very dirty. Despite some of those upgrades and cleanliness issues, the location was fantastic and we had a great trip!

Girls Trip 2023

This was my second time staying at the Big on the Beach House. The first time was with my family for my wedding. This time there were 10 girls aged mid 20’s to mid 50’s for an epic girl’s trip. The house fit all of us perfectly! This really is the very best spot on the island being on the North end with a great stretch of beach and quiet right out the front door. The house could probably use a little TLC as you can tell there’s been water in it at some point. Overall it is a beautiful home though! Windows everywhere and 4 decks! The manager Wendy was helpful getting us picked up earlier than scheduled so we could catch the 7:30am ferry off the island. It was a great place to stay. I would recommend this place for a large group for sure! You really CANNOT beat the view!! The owners of the house are also very helpful and seem very nice. Thank you again for another wonderful stay at your property!
