Wonderful Stay

House was very clean and well stocked with everything you need. It was a huge help to have items like laundry detergent, paper towels, coffee, etc. Extra blankets were available and helpful when it got colder. Easy drive to shops, restaurants, etc. Troy answered questions quickly and check in was easy. He is a very good host.

Perfect Place

This place had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. It was very clean and close to several beaches, stores, and eating places. They had chairs and umbrellas for the beach and because it was a full kitchen, we packed lunch and stayed at the beach all day. The outside shower was nice to rinse off and the outside patio was relaxing. The host was always quick to respond for check-in and check-out. We had no issues…much better than staying in a condo.

Fun, old Florida experience

Loved the bungalow. Great location, only issue was with the grill(s). Advertised as Weber but it was a pellet smoker/grill with no instructions and both were not clean at all. Weber was there but not working well with empty gas container.Really like grilling out while on vacation otherwise it was delightful.

Girls weekend

A couple girlfriends and I came here for a much needed girls weekend and it was absolutely perfect! The house is incredibly clean, spacious, and has everything you could possibly need on your trip. All of the beach supplies were in great condition and made our travel and trip to the beach so much easier and more enjoyable! We loved spending time in the backyard relaxing and drinking wine. The location is a 10 minute drive to St. Armand’s and the beach and 5ish minutes to downtown. There were plenty of great restaurants close by. I would definitely stay here again!

Adorable Bungalow

This house was absolutely perfect for our family. It is exactly as pictured and described. Everything is clean and well cared for. I have never stayed at such a well-equipped home- the beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, and even coolers really made our beach vacation perfect. This house does not skimp on things that other places often do- there was plenty of coffee, toilet paper, even a cabinet of extra supplies if you forgot toothpaste or sun screen. Really above and beyond. Excellent value for money. Thanks for a great stay!

Enjoyed our stay.

The property was very clean. The kitchen was well stocked. The house had plenty of space for the two of us and would be equally comfortable for four. Convenient to downtown, about 5 minutes by car. The street is residential but a main route through the neighborhood. The neighborhood is nice, dating to mid-century. Safe to walk through. It is a healthy walk to downtown. Most homes appear to be well kept. Some of the neighboring properties are being rehabbed, and some are in need of rehab. Overall, we highly recommend this house.
