This was a beautiful stay for our family & pup! Overall, the location is extremely convenient and cost effective. We were happy with the short walk to the beach and then convenient pool/entertainment at house once we were done at the beach for the day :) Everyone was so responsive and informative which made the trip even better! We would totally return and stay here if we adventured to this area again. Thank you all for the hospitality!

This was our first time as a family in Florida and we were on the search for a place and came across this one. It was everything we wanted and checked all of the boxes for us. The hosts were very accommodating also. Very happy we chose this place!

Amazing stay, two days was not enough In this peaceful paradise! Close beach access, with drive on beaches close by. Amazing restaurants near by, or if downtown eating is your thing you are a close drive away! It was almost impossible to leave the put-put golf alone, and the balcony in the kitchen has amazing sunset/sunrise views! They have everything you need to go to the beach as well! There’s also an elevator which was fun! So thankful for the amazing host and the time stayed at their beautiful home!

Book this place without hesitation! I had an incredible experience staying here with my family of five for five days. The house is spacious, with large and comfortable rooms. The beds are incredibly cozy, and the common areas are beautifully decorated. The pools and mini-golf course are fantastic, and the beach is just a short walk away. Catrina, our host, was exceptional. She was incredibly responsive, helpful, and resourceful. I’ve traveled extensively and stayed at various Airbnbs and VRBOs, and her professionalism and responsiveness are unmatched. The house was immaculate and a perfect place to create lasting memories. Unfortunately, during our stay, we learned that our beloved 15-year-old dog had become severely ill and had to be put down. The home provided a peaceful and private space for me and my family to grieve. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and cannot recommend this place enough. Everything about it was amazing, and I would not hesitate to rent it again.

INCREDIBLE FIND!!!! Literally an hour after we checked in I was already looking on Airbnb to rebook the home for my Bachelorette party. The pool is amazing, the the space is stunning, and everything was labeled which made navigating the home super easy. Our dogs were loving the space as well, they had a blast! Definitely will be staying here again.

Loved our stay at Catrina's place. It was exactly as advertised with a quiet neighborhood, clean home and everything was just easy (setting up TV, access to the home etc). Thank you for a great stay!
