Ray is a wonderful owner who has put a lot of effort in making a wonderful place for vacationers to come and have a home away from home. This property is everything it is listed as, and Ray was a pleasure to work with. All positives on everything! I would suggest renting a golf cart if you carry a lot of bunch stuff. Also, it’s a good place, so the beaches get plenty of people.

Owner (Ray) is great

The property is exactly as promised - walking distance to the beach, quiet neighborhood and clean. We didn’t have hot water for the first part of our stay, but it was fixed as soon as I reached out to Ray. The front door is a little quirky but calling the property manager helped us get in. I would return to the property in the future!

Outstanding host and location.

The group had an amazing time with this property and will definitely return next time we have this many people. Very walkable to the beach in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. We did have an issue with not having enough hot water for our 12 people to shower every evening and parking was tight for 4 vehicles. The host and neighbors are chill so long as your group does the same.

Big house and close to the beach

The house was great and the location was too. The only strange thing was the lack of hospitality. Only one dish towel in the kitchen, no replacement for toilet paper or paper towels. The oven mits for taking pans out of the oven were almost useless. Along with that, someone came up and worked on a sprinkler right in front of the front door for about an hour or so without notifying us beforehand. Also, on the last night we were staying, huge bags of sheets, blankets, etc. were just left right in front of the door. Seems unprofessional when we weren't set to leave until the morning after. Would be a 5-star review if it wasn't for those things.

Another trip to the beach

Great property! Everything was there that we needed to have a great week! Very short walk to the pool and the beach! We had a great time, and the house was big enough to enjoy family time or personal time. I would recommend this property to others looking for a great place. The property was well maintained, and you did not have to have a degree in engineering to operate the televisions! Great stay, we will be back!

definitely bring your own blankets. 8 people can sleep comfortable without pull out sofas.

The neighborhood was quite which was what the family was looking for also the beach was close by which was of the utmost importance. The property managers does respond quickly to your request/ concerns.

Great location!

The house was great & we had enough beds for all 12 of us. We were concerned that the AC wasn’t cooling off the upstairs bedroom & loft compared to the rest of the house (first night there) but woke up cold in the middle of the night, so it just needed time to cool off & worked perfectly the rest of the week. This house is just a short walk from the beach. They’ve got strict HOA rules but I can see why - the neighborhood is very well maintained. The pool’s just a few houses down & clean as well. I would stay here again.

Perfect Beach Home

This house was exactly what we wanted. We have always stayed in a condo on the ocean and decided to change it up this year. We were not disappointed! Beautiful home, perfectly peaceful neighborhood. And best of all, it is a stone’s-throw to the beach. We will be staying here for many years to come. Thanks, Ray (Owner) for renting your beautiful home to us. You are fantastic.
