Clean, Bright & Airy

We stayed here with another couple for 5 nights and it was perfect. Very clean and nicely decorated. It is a little walk to the beach but not too bad. The neighborhood also has a golf cart shuttle to the beach. Quick walk to Dollar General to get supplies. Would stay here again!

Excellent property

We enjoyed our stay and had everything we needed. We had a question about one of the tv’s and the owner answered promptly. The location was great, although we did end up renting a golf cart for the week to make access to the beach a little easier. It was overall a great family vacation.

Wonderful!

This was our second stay at this beautiful home. The first stay was wonderful and this stay was even better. The home has been updated and felt very luxurious. Tina and Ray were very nice and helpful as always. The house by itself is wonderful, and all the extras that are included such as the bikes, grill, and beach chairs made for a perfect trip. We can't wait for our next stay!
