The home was exceptionally clean and vacation friendly. We were a little nervous picking this property over a traditional beach front property but very thankful we gave it a shot. As beach lovers, we were suprised that we never even went to the beach, this property has its own private little beach that we enjoyed all to ourselves! This property offers everything you need for a great trip!

House was great. Dock was awesome to fish and park the boat we rented. Short walk to beach was amazing

This house was perfect for my family. The house layout was ideal … plenty of room for 7 adults and 5 children. The view was spectacular… the small beach on the sound was great for small children and relaxing for adults. The beachwas a few blocks away!!

Pros - Location on the Bay side shielded us from the winds off the Gulf... important given the storms that blew through. Neighborhood setting away from most traffic and tourists. 2 refrigerators and an ice maker are nice features to have for a large group. Plenty of dishes and kitchen items. Washer & Dryer worked well. Only 1 pool cue worth using. Cons - This is my opinion only, so others may not agree. Evident upon arrival, there are many areas of rotten wood throughout the house's exterior with decking boards needing to be replaced. Entering the house, we could smell a musty, mildew smell coming up from the bottom level. Having just been cleaned, this caught us completely off guard. The house's fixtures and furniture are really dated and in need of replacement, expecially given the rental price. Some of the exterior furniture really should be replaced too. No matter how hard we tried, we could not keep from tracking in sand. The house has 2 vacuum cleaners, but neither work well enough to collect the sand. I know we swept the house a dozen times over the week we were there. The house next door rents out for weddings and parties. We were initially excited to know a wedding would take place next door to us and actually congratulated the bride and groom. However, the after-party was something right out of Animal House. Drunk people yelling and cursing acting like a frat party is not something I wanted my grandkids to be exposed to. We had to take the kids inside much earlier than planned due to the vulgarity. It actually got worse when one of the partiers took off all their clothes and danced around naked... I nearly threw up!! Extremely upset that the quoted price on line was not honored by the owner, causing us to pay much more than expected. Because this was a 1-time vacation for all kids and grandkids to join us, we were limited and had no choice but accept the higher price. All in all, it was not worth the money we spent, and we will not return. I have stayed in much nice places for a lot less money, so this isn't just a radomn statement but a sincere comparison.
