Our family of 15 had a very nice vacation staying at this house. The kids really enjoyed the large pool and relaxing in the hot tub. We also enjoy our time at the beach that was just a 4-minute walk away from the house. My suggestion would be to have a upgraded larger refrigerator and possibly another king size bed to replace the queen. Overall, I definitely recommend this rental!!!
Place was very nice. However it would have been helpful if we had specific details about what was available The listing said no crockpot and I traveled with mineI also brought a griddle and there was one there.
Perfect spot with loads of room to accommodate our family. We spent all our time in the pool and our little girls were "mermaids" all week. Also, perfect spot to celebrate our daughter and son in law's birthdays.
House was clean and well maintained. Pool and hot tub were very nice and clean too. House has lots of beach chairs, toys, and tubes available… so you don’t need to bring a lot of beach gear.
We chose this house to gather together and celebrate my sons marriage with a vow ceremony and catered dinner. It worked out perfectly and the house was so comfortable. We were not blessed with great weather but enjoyed our time so much.
This house is so well maintained and organized. There is everything and more well organized in the cabinets making it so easy to live there for your vacation. I wish it was a street closer to the beach, it does take 5-7 minutes but if its not too hot, its good enough. They even leave you a beach buggy to take your stuff over in!

The property location was one of the highlights of our trip. It is not stacked next to another property like some of the other properties on the same road. The property was surrounded by trees which made the house feel very private especially while in the pool. We could hear other vacationers but could not see them. The house was also conveniently located in between the shops / grocery markets and the light house / park.
We loved this house, so many great memories were made here! The house is situated in a perfect location, it is on a private lot yet so close to the beach.
We are all cooks, so we loved that the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to make our elaborate meals. The pool is huge as is the pool patio , there was so much room for our entire party to play altogether. We enjoyed the spacious multiple decks and of course the hot tub! Kids and adults loved playing volleyball in the afternoons as well as basketball.
Our only observation is that the patio furniture was a bit scarce , there weren't enough chairs to accommodate all of us. We carried our own beach chairs up and down the steps when we wanted to sit together. We also love to eat outside, and felt like an outdoor dining table would be ideal on the top deck.
Thank you you for renting to us .
We hope to be back next year : )
Our family needed a house that could sleep everyone, provide some space and privacy, was close to the beach and offered fun amenities like a pool, spa and pool table. Livin’ the Dream delivered!
With a large family group of 8 adults, 2 teens and an elementary schooler, finding a good fit can be a challenge at times.
We loved how the rooms at Livin’ the Dream were spaced out so each couple could have privacy and parents could watch over kiddos easily. The kitchen was great and tables ample enough to feed our family. Seating in the main room for movies was doable, but a little tight due to the size of the room. The seating provided was moveable and comfortable though.
The decks were great—though watch out for splinters on the top deck due to weathering. Lower decks aren’t as weathered so they have fewer splinter hazards.
The spa was nice and maintained well. The porch swing was really comfortable and we had wonderful breezes that were refreshing.
The pool was lovely and the back yard was very private and secluded-feeling. The front yard has the best grass and landscaping of the block! Beautiful grass and pretty flowers.
The walk to the beach was short and pleasant. Easy to walk and comes out next to a lifeguard—nice!
Bedrooms were nice, though pillows were flat. Bring your own if you want fluffy one!
There were a lot of pool toys and a nice beach cart at the house, which was great! We contributed some noodles for the next crew to enjoy. :)

The lower level had lots of spiders. The internet username needs to be updated.Internet router needs to be stronger. Would be nice to have shades in the kitchen table area. Sun is very intense.
Sadly, the guests staying the week before us were not who was expected according to housekeeper. This made the cleaning process difficult . For example, dishes were put away that had not been washed. Other than not being as clean as we expected, we would rent this property again. The house, pool and grounds are lovely. We especially enjoyed the trees and foliage. The beach is also a short walk away and shopping is very convenient.
The house was great- pool and hot tub clean, rest of the house clean. The kitchen was mostly well stocked and water pressure was good in the bathrooms. It was nice to have linens provided. There was also a great beach cart which was a surprise. It's close to the beach access but still felt like more of a hike than we'd anticipated but we'd stay here again. The decks were nice- there was a swing close to the hot tub and two Adirondack chairs on the top deck. It could use more seating on the decks and the Adirondack chairs are very dark so they got hot easily. Not a huge deal. The house was nicely spread out- we had three families (6 adults 6 kids) and it was great to have all the room. The deck and stairs could use some love- we had to hammer down two nails and one of the kids got a splinter (surprised we didn't have more.)
This is managed by an outside property company. They were quick to respond to the fridge downstairs not reaching temperature and one other issue. The cleaning fee changed between booking on VRBO (June) and signing the contract (October). Two days before checkout we were told we had to be out at 9am instead of 10am. I was informed this was a change due to extra cleaning but went back and forth with them about what is in the contract. None of this had to do with the home. The home was beautiful and we'd stay here again. I'd read the contract closer next time.
Great location only a few minutes walk to the beach. It is inside a quiet and friendly neighborhood. The house was pristine and exactly as pictured. There was plenty of room for everyone so we didn't feel crowded. Pool was clean and there were pool floating chairs (donuts) in the closet. We are thinking about renting this property again next summer.

We loved this house, it was just 2 blocks to the beach and had everything we could ask for, from a pool and hot tub to boogie boards, sand toys and a beach wagon! The only problem we had was with the living room TV, the sound would decrease and increase on its own. Other than that it was perfect, we are hoping to rent it again next year.
