Family Birthday Celebration

This house is amazing. It's right on the beach with beautiful views. We used all the outdoor/pool space which had plenty of seating for our family of 8. The rooms are spacious with a great layout and the house was very clean. We had a couple of minor issues and Dan was at the house within minutes to fix them. Its in a great location-walkable to town. I would highly recommend staying here.

We loved this home!

This was our favorite vacation home so far on VRBO. Everything they advertised in the listing was on point. The home was clean and beautiful. The breeze from the ocean was amazing when we were sitting outside. Nothing beats being right on the beach. The outdoor patios on each floor were perfect for relaxing and listening to the sounds of the waves and watching boats go by. At night you can see the lights on the Sunshine skyway bridge. From the master bedroom upstairs, you can sit in the bed and hear the waves at night and see the lights. It was absolutely beautiful. We met the neighbors and they were really nice. The golf cart was great for going around the island. There are lots of small shops close by for ice cream, shopping or just grabbing a bite to eat. The host supplied all the essentials we needed - laundry detergent, garbage bags, shampoo, salt/pepper, etc. The stairs had retractable baby gates at the top and bottom which was super helpful for keeping our pet on one floor or preventing toddlers from falling down them. This is a great home. We would return to this home.

Our stay at Cloud 9 was beyond amazing. We enjoyed the entire home- both inside and out. From the moment we walked in the door, it was evident that a lot of thought was put in to each and every detail of the home. It was a memorable stay for our entire group and we hope to be back next year! Rick and Lyn are wonderful, as was the property manager- Lori.

Great time but no beachfront!

Loved the home and section of town. However, the photos are deceiving. There really is no place to sit on the beach near the home. You need to walk a bit to get there. That is my only complaint. All else was great!

Heavenly Stay

Cloud 9 is truly a slice of heaven by the beach. The home is beautifully crafted and designed with all the furnishings and upgraded features that left us never wanting to leave. Sconces, chandeliers, cozy beds, a kitchen stocked with top of the line appliances and all the equipment for any chef, a beautiful pool, a hottub that doubles as a gorgeous water feature and dolphins that swim in a beach so close to the property, it's like you can touch them. I truly loved ever minute of our stay. Working with Rick and Lori (the property manager) was amazing as they treated you like friends and truly care to make your stay as relaxing and as amazing as possible. We can't wait to come back again!!

We can’t say enough about Cloud 9. We have been staying at Rick and Lynne’s properties for 5 years now and are never disappointed. This house is by far the most beautiful one yet. It has everything you could need for the perfect vacation. They always go above and beyond to accommodate you. Lori the property manager was also extremely helpful she was always there for the few problems that came up during the week. Looking forward to next year already

What an amazing all inclusive house as the owners and PM knows how to take care of the property.

They had everything of recreational water play that you can think of such as kayaks, paddle boards, pool floats, etc. The house also includes a 6 passenger golf cart, 4 adult bikes, and 1 child bike with training wheels. The house was very clean, tidy, and organized. The pool and the spa was also very clean. It felt like home away from home. The house was lightly stocked with some food related items, bottles of wine, coffee pods, and zip locked bags. We were throughly impressed by all the details in the house like the labels on light switches. We were very sad to leave but we will be back. A huge thank you for Rick, Lyn, and Lori for their thoughtfulness and hospitality. Truly an amazing place! Best, Lauren and Kevin

Beyond beautiful

From the moment you walk in the door you know you don’t ever want to leave. The house is literally steps from the ocean. To be able to spend time in the pool and enjoy that view was breathtaking. The kitchen is wonderful with every amenity that you could possibly need. The bedrooms are gorgeous with their own bathrooms and the beds are sooo comfortable. This was our 5th time on the island and this house is by far our favorite!! Don’t bother packing chairs, bikes or toys for the pool/beach because everything you could ever need is included. If you’re having trouble deciding where to stay…look no further. This house is impeccable and the owners are incredibly friendly and thoughtful!!
