Wonderful location, right on the beach! We loved sitting on the balconies, listening to the waves. Everything was clean and well-taken care of. The hot tub was the icing on the cake! We’ll definitely be back!
Beach was very clean, great surf fishing, swim spa was amazing, and when we had any questions the owners were fast to respond. This was a needed trip for my boys after losing their father in the spring. We had a great time connecting and being with nature. Great trip!
This house has everything you could possibly imagine! No possible way anybody would ever get bored! It is beautifully appointed and so well thought out! Check in/out was a breeze! Great communication from the owner! Amazing stay!
We chose a terrible week to come weather wise, but were still able to enjoy the house and a few of the wonderful outside amenities. The host was very responsive and made this the easiest Vrbo check in/check out process I’ve encountered. Hope to rent again when the weather is nice!
Beautiful sunrises. There are a few things that need to be fixed and it would've been perfect. The missing shade in the LR (sun will blind you), and the faucet in the MBth shower. Would definitely stay again. Our kids and grandkids loved it! Great stay!
This house was wonderful! The location was a 10! The swim spa and golf were a hit with everyone! The house was clean and spacious. Any question or need we had, we received a quick response. We will be back for sure!!
The downstairs space is perfect, the big island worked very well. Had no issues when cooking plenty of kitchen items to use. The beds upstairs were comfy. Good location to carry everything to beach for the day.
The lay out of the living area was good. Lay out of all bedrooms upstairs was good. Nice to have full bathrooms upstairs. The spa/pool was a hit for all ages. The totally fenced in ground area was great for keeping up with our kids. Would recommend this beach house. Can’t beat this front row beach view!
I have never had an experience that exceeded expectations as highly as this. The property is stunning, extraordinarily clean and well kept. The owner is immediately responsive for all questions. The beach and access to it is ideal. I will be back!
So convenient - RIGHT on the beach. Makes it very easy for kids and adults to run home for something they forgot or to nap. All rooms have tvs, even the patio! You can login to your own streaming services on all the tvs. This came in handy when it rained one day while we were there. Tons of games including the golf game outside and cornhole - and they are right by the swim spa. So the adults could chill in the spa while the kids played golf or cornhole. The outdoor seating is amazing - we used the swings, the fire pit area for smores and the balcony chairs for morning cups of coffee or evening drinks while looking out over the ocean. The kitchen was fully equipped for whatever is needed for big family meals. The ice maker was a lifesaver! Communication with the owners was topnotch - very quick responses for any question we might have. Would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful home, excellent location, quiet neighbors, responsive property management and the list goes on.
This is the first beach home we've rented that actually matches the description shown online.
The kitchen is stocked with any spice/seasoning you need, as well as any kitchen tool you might use.
The appliances are higher end and perform extremely well. The separate ice maker was an ice making machine!. 2 coffee making options, sharp knives, great cookware, board games, puzzles, beach towels, beach chairs, etc...everything you need to enjoy your vacation.
The ac systems....very impressive!
There are also plenty of fans, but they won't be needed as the systems can more than keep up---loved it! Again, another first for us.
The floor plan was very functional and worked well with our small group.
Great experience!
The home was spacious and beautiful. It was in a wonderful location. It was an easy drive to make and to access the beach was easy. The enormous swim spa was the favorite of our visit. We would book and stay again, just maybe a bit longer!
The sunrises and sunsets were incredible. The home perfect for my family. My parents in their 80's were able to handle the stairs. The railings were great because they were on both sides. The hot tub holds a group. The house was clean with furniture you could all sit on. We played games did puzzels and cooked. highly recommend!
Located right on the beach access, great view from both balconies overlooking the gulf. Located midway down Bolivar peninsula. Fantastic climate control, amazing decor, modern farmhouse style mixed with beach style. Tons of amenities included. Kitchen was stocked for cooking, huge island was amazing. We had a wonderful family trip!
We had a great time at this beach house in spite of it being a rainy weekend
Maybe the only thing I would improve on is for there to be more towels available
Other than that
Everything was great!
