What an incredible place to stay. This home is fully stocked and has everything you need for a relaxing and fun vacation. We had 6 kids and 9 adults, and we all had plenty of space. The view from this home is absolutely perfect and the location as well. The property management was very attentive. We will for sure come here again and stay. Thank you for this amazing vacation home, lots of memories made here. I would HIGHLY recommend this rental.

We had a great time. The pool was a huge hit with the kids and proximity to the beach was as good as it gets without actually being on the beach. We had a few minor maintenance issues that were handled immediately. We’d go back for sure.

Our stay at Blessed By The Sea was amazing! The home was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything we needed. It’s just a short walk to beautiful James Lee Beach, which was a huge plus.We loved the ice maker, two refrigerators, and fully stocked kitchen. The beds were comfortable after long days in the sun. The kids especially enjoyed the pool and games in the house. We wished the hot tub was a bit warmer it was consistently at pool temp but other than that everything was perfect. Great home for a relaxing multi-family getaway, we’d definitely stay again!

Great location and view. No working coffee maker and the house needs maintenance. Pictures online do not accurately represent how dated the home is
