⚠️ Important Notes (Please Read)
Elevator Note: This property features a residential elevator for occasional adult use. It is not ADA-compliant and should not be relied upon by guests with mobility needs, so stairs will still be necessary to access the home. For safety, use by children or for recreational purposes is strictly prohibited. Elevators are sensitive systems and may stop functioning due to weather events (such as flooding, power outages, or high winds), overloading, user error, or safety mechanism triggers. Repairs must be performed by licensed third-party vendors and may not be available on short notice, resulting in extended downtime. While our team makes every effort to keep the elevator in working order, continuous availability cannot be guaranteed. The presence of an elevator does not affect rental rates; therefore, no refunds, discounts, or other compensation will be provided if it becomes unavailable.
Pool Note: Please note that water temperature can vary with outdoor conditions, and during colder winter months the pool may not always reach a comfortable temperature even while the heater is working. Our team services pools regularly and will assist quickly if an issue arises, though refunds or discounts can't be offered for temporary downtime or cooler-than-expected water. For safety, children should always be supervised while using the pool.
Hurricane Simulator Note: This property offers a hurricane simulator as a complimentary, optional amenity. Use involves inherent risks; children must be supervised at all times, and use by intoxicated or medically sensitive individuals is not recommended. Availability is not guaranteed due to maintenance, safety, weather, or mechanical issues. As this amenity does not affect the rental rate, no refunds or compensation will be provided if it is unavailable. A separate waiver is required prior to use, and the primary guest is responsible for all guests and visitors.

Great house for our family get-together! The upstairs room was perfect for the younger kids to play and sometimes sleep. The pool, toys, and beach supplies were perfect for the out-of-town guests - so they didn't need to pack their own. The pond in the back was a huge bonus for us because we had a lot of people who liked to fish, and they were able to drop a line in the water without going anywhere (we didn't try to eat anything).
The property is fantastic. We had 13 adults, ranging in age from 30 to 87, to celebrate our family Christmas. The kitchen has everything you need, including plates and silverware for at least 30, a crock pot, an electric griddle, a few Tupperware containers, cookie sheets, a cheese grater, etc. The only thing they did not have was an egg cooker, but you can always boil eggs.
These are not complaints but things to be aware of. The towels are limited, so you should bring your beach towels. If you have very old people, you may want to bring camp chairs as the beach chairs are the low-to-the-ground type. But there are plenty of beach chairs, two beach wagons, an umbrella, etc. The pool was about 83 degrees, warmer than the air for most of our visit.
We had to call the property manager several times, and they came out super quick and very professional. We struggled with the elevator. It was user error, but we eventually gave up on it.
The one issue we had was seating. The dining table had benches, and the island had stools, so there were no chairs with cushions or backs. Not a huge deal, but it was uncomfortable for my parents and those of us who needed to get some work done.
One last thing...there is an actual, alive alligator in the pond!!! Sooooo coooool!!!
Everything was perfect. We will definitely book again!
