Great location!!

The house is in a great location. Plenty of parking. Easy walk across the street to the beach. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Lots of space! Beds were comfortable. House feels very cozy. Loved the large porch! The floors were not clean when we arrived. I did not report this, as we were busy with baseball, and I could address it myself. The rest of the home was clean. Two of the showers were tiny. We all ended up using the one regular size bath/shower combo. Even with those two cons, we would definitely stay here again!! We had a wonderful experience and would recommend staying here!

Party of 6

The location was perfect. The view was beautiful. There was plenty of room for everyone to get comfortable in their own space. Plenty of parking. Even though the description said no beach items, there were beach chairs available. The house had all the utensils/kitchen appliances, etc. that we needed to cook meals at the house. If we go back, we will stay here again!

Location!

Wonderful house located directly across from the BEACH! (Sit on the front porch and stare at the ocean waves close!) We enjoyed our stay with plenty of room for all seven of us. This adorable house was in the perfect spot - easy walking distance to shops and dinning, a short drive to get groceries and near Gulf State Park, a beautiful place to hike or bike through! Wonderful management company that kept in constant communication throughout the trip! Will definitely be coming back!

Quick Beach Vacation

The house was as described and they mentioned construction so it wasn't a surprise but the construction meant we had to walk down a bit to get to beach. Wished the unit had a grill but overall we had everything we needed and it was spacious.

Beautiful

The only problem with this vacation home is the weeds. We tried to use the back door that leads straight to a shower to avoid getting sand all over the house but our feet and legs got scratched due to poor maintenance in the backyard. Tall weeds with thorns should have been mowed or removed. Check in code didn't work so the process was delayed. Our oven stopped working and they changed it to a functional one. The house was beautiful and we were very comfortable there. Washer and dryer made our vacation easier. Location is amazing. I would definitely stay again.

Shrimp fest stay

Very convenient location for the festival we were there to attend so it was perfect for our stay. House was as described and comfortable for our group. Property management was top notch! We had a small maintenance issue when we arrived that was handled very promptly and professionally despite the extreme traffic, road closures and detours in the area at the time of the Shrimpfest . Would definitely recommend for being close to all the fun beach action and festivities that occur around the Hangout area but during peak times expect lively neighbors and happy people foot traffic until the bars close!

Closest House to the Beach!

Honestly, unless you want a high-rise condo, this is the closest house to the beach without being on it. Easy walk across the street and you are in sand. Very clean & well decorated interior. Nice porch for sitting, just keep in mind that the street can be loud with traffic at times. We stayed for a Beach V.Ball tournament and the location was so convenient to walk back & forth.
