Gecko House was as described. Beach access was only about a 3- minute walk. The place is older but well maintained. The beds were comfortable and the kitchens were well equipped. It was also well supplied with TP, dish soap, laundry soap etc. Our family had a great time staying Christmas week! It would have been a nice touch to have a Christmas tree or lights our something up in the main area. We didn't see much sign in town that it was Christmas time either, though. We looked at stores 30 miles around and couldn't find a single small tree to put up for the kids. We ended up putting gifts around a bouquet of Christmas balloons from Walmart. Lol. No complaints from the kids!We were lucky to have exceptional weather. Highs in the low 80's all week. We had a nice time hanging out around the pool and an amazing time on the beach. We had fun looking for shells and shark teeth, playing games, basking in the sun, and taking walks with our toes in the sand. Just what we needed before heading back to a Utah winter.

Had a wonderful week at the gecko house, the house was perfect for our trip, clean, super well equipped, I have been using Vrbo for many years and this was the best communication I have had, marti was fantastic, would highly recommend this house

It was perfect for us we had 4 family's and so close to the ocean and bay . You get beatiful sunrise at the bay and sunsets on the beach.

We rented the entire Gecko house, all 4 apartments at once, for one full week. We arrived and the inside of the house was clean and welcoming. We enjoyed the quick walk to the non-packed beach/gulf and the bay. Sunsets and sunrises were amazing. Runnable and walkable location for those looking for early morning exercise. The host was quick to respond to any questions we had. We had a very enjoyable time. The space had a gathering area in one of the apartments that fit us all. A huge perk was the spectacular beach. The sunrises and sunsets were soulful.One of the apartments smelled strongly of cleaning products, maybe a little too strong for chemical sensitive folks. We noticed the clean ashtrays located outside the door of the screened in porch for smokers to use. None of our party of 7 adults, 2 teenagers, and 1 child smokes and it would even feel more comforting if smoking was not allowed on the premises to deter previous smoking guests to not bring their smoke into the house “on accident”. The pool area could use a bit of cleaning up in terms of landscape for visual appeal. There was some discrepancy between the VRBO listing which stated that bikes were available and check-out time was 11, but the owner told us after we were into the week’s stay that bikes were not available and the check out time was earlier than stated. We were disappointed. She did allow us flexibility with the checkout time when asked, but no bikes.
