​Didn't want to leave!    Aug 12, 2024

review star

This was the very first property I saved when looking for a place to stay for our family vacation. After weeks of back and forth, we settled on this and it made me the family rockstar! There were 7 of us, two of them children. We wanted something more casual for the kids and less waiting for elevators. We checked in at 4pm. By 4pm the next day it was decided we would book this place for next year as soon as we could. Check-out was a breeze. Rich was hands-down the best host I've ever dealt with. We cannot wait to return!!

We fully enjoyed our stay. The home was beautiful and convenient to the beach. We utilized the backyard and the pool as much as possible and really felt comfortable.

Everything was perfect! Beautiful house and beautiful backyard. We were there for Spring Break and the kids wanted to stay at the house instead of hanging out in PCB! We totally felt at home, the house had everything you needed and wanted. Location is great, pretty close to everything. The host reached out to us to make sure we were good, he responded right away when I had questions. We will definitely book this house when we return!

​Great location - Memorable vacation    Apr 02, 2024

review star

We had our family of 4 and another family of 6 over our kids’ Easter break. Had a fabulous time! Was very clean, had plenty of kitchen accessories, had enough laundry & kitchen soaps for our entire week stay and was in a nice quiet neighborhood. They also provided sunscreen so we didn’t have to go get any right away. Pool was used every day, but needed 1 or 2 more pool towels for everyone. The beach is a close walk. If you head to the beach, bring chairs if you don’t want to pay for the ones on the beach. It was nice to have a pull out couch. Would maybe change the King room upstairs across from the bunks to a double bunk room to have even more room to fit 4-6 people in there. Overall, everything was great and would rent again, as it’s in a great location and close to many things. Oh, and if you’re looking for a good bakery, Thomas Donut and Snack Shop is the place to go - best we’ve ever had!
