We were so glad to find this unique schoolhouse for our Pals weekend! Nicely decorated bedrooms, beds were super comfy, dining and living room are very large with great space to hangout. And a huge master bedroom with king bed and private bath. well appointed and super clean. Chalkboard in every room, very charming! So close to the beaches and shopping. Definitely recommend it and we will come back!

Overall great property. Clean. Well-stocked. Nice mix of modern amenities and old schoolhouse charm. Loved the chalkboards! The location is super! Quick walk to the beach, playground (a big one) or downtown, but out of the hustle and bustle of a lot of people. Grocery store (which has a little bit of everything) is about a five minute drive. Owners were wonderful to work with. We had a chance to simply chat with them about how they came to find the house, future plans, etc. It rained during our entire stay, so we did not get to utilize any of the wonderful outdoor areas that are on property. I will have to make a return trip to check that out. Which I will for sure be doing!

Best VRBO we have ever stayed at. House was spacious and clean and had every amenity you could ask for. The property was an refurbished school house and we loved the historic features that have been preserved. We will be back. So perfect in every way. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

Great location and historic spot to call "home." We were a short walk to South Beach and within walking distance (but we drove) to the downtown area for dinner and some shopping. Location is super convenient to everything. The house itself is clean, beautiful, accommodating, and updated. We enjoyed the little details that related to the old school house it used to be. The kitchen was huge and had everything we needed to cook a few breakfasts. The sitting areas were comfortable. Only two of us stayed, but this would be a great place for a larger family or group of friends - lots of space! The master bed was hard as a rock, but that's the only negative thing I have to say. Everything else was perfect. Beautiful landscaping, the garage was nice to be able to park in, and the chalkboards were fun :) Hurry up and book - a note from the owner stated they will be making this unit their residence in 2024 and it will be off the VRBO market!

Wonderful place to stay! Place is much better than the pics show...and bigger than it shows! Stayed with our 6 and 10-year old grandkids and it was perfect. Fun on various chalkboards, foosball table, firepits, walks to downtown, and easy access to a playground and South Beach! Property is fully stocked with all you need.(Will just have to bring your own beach towels, chairs, etc) Owners responsive to needs and questions. Will EASILY return here!

Charming and spacious with a comfortable walk to the beach and town. The chalkboard walls provided some fun through the week with games and messages. The bonfire setup was very comfortable. Generous space for our family of 5 and friend. Really enjoyed our week and had great weather too.
