Sandcastle was extremely clean and the pool is awesome. Kitchen was well stocked. Communication with Rosemary was superb. She answered all my question on the same day. Will definitely be staying here again
Everything was great. The house was real nice and only a few blocks from the beach. The complimentary beach chairs and umbrella was great. The pool in the back yard was very nice. I recommend staying here.
House in a great location for the beach, restaurant's and shopping,plus added bonus of the large private pool. Also we used the golf cart for traveling to the beach,restaurants and the stores that is only a couple of minutes from the property. This location comes highly recommended
The property,location and value were all excellent. FOR $2,000 PLUS DOLLARS FOR A STAY YOU CAN AFFORD TO PUT A DECENT MATTRESS IN THE MASTER BEDROOM. IT WAS LIKE SLEEPING ON CONCRETE.
We loved walking out the back door to get in your own private pool every day. It was close to the beach. The neighborhood is very nice and clean. This place we stayed at is nice. I think it needs some upgrades. It is pet friendly. Rosemary the host was wonderful. Every time I contacted her she would respond. Thank you we had a wonderful time
This was my first time using VRBO and first time renting a house instead of a condo. I had a good experience with both and the process was easy. Rosemary was great staying in communication with me and quick to respond to questions and needs. We had a great stay, felt at home. When we couldn’t go to the beach we enjoyed swimming in the private pool. We were close to the beach and having the privacy and complimentary umbrella and chairs was so nice to just sit back and relax. We will definitely do it again and recommend to anyone looking for a vacation home rental.
We'd give this place an 4.5 as a whole. Our stay was great. We needed a place near the beach that would allow our 50 pound doodle stay with us. Only suggestions we have are some of the little things, knives and scissors were dull and difficult to use. Also, the grill might need an upgrade. The front burners flew flames which made for an interesting moment. Overall, we would definitely recommend it to a person with a fur friend .
This is the second year in a row we’ve rented this house for our family trip. The house is always clean, cozy, and has easy beach access. We’ll be back again next year!
The house was very nice. The backyard patio and pool area were wonderful, we spent most of our down time hanging out there!!!!! The garage has a second full size side by side refrigerator, which was excellent for ice and beverage storage leaving the kitchen unit for food. The owner was very responsive to all of our needs and was very accommodating! Highly recommend this unit.
Stayed a week with my wife and her best friend who brought her dog. Being a pet friendly place made this a very attractive stay for us. It was very clean had plenty of space for all of us. The checkout process was also extremely easy. We would absolutely stay here again!
We had a wonderful stay! Very clean. Rosemary was so kind and accommodating. She was quick to respond to anything we needed. We would highly recommend staying here for your next getaway! Our family made so many lasting memories here.
Property was as advertised. Communication was good, and prompt. Golf cart issues for the first 2 days, a lot of back and forth with host. Host made it right with a replacement. Recommend replacing pillows in master bedroom.Pool was good size but temperature was hot tub level. Not refreshing after a beach day. Maybe shade should be provided for pool to help cool.We have stayed in this neighborhood multiple times and love the location and cleanliness and gated access of this community. Overall experience was 4/5.
This is our second year staying here. The house was even cleaner than our last stay. Pool is a great size and the residence is a convenient location to the beach and surrounding activities/restaurants. Golf cart is great and highly recommended for trips to beach, etc.
Will definitely stay again!
By far one of the cleanest VRBO properties we've ever stayed at. The house was spotless! We had a great stay and would definitely come back given the opportunity. The only downside was that the pool heater was not able to keep up with the cooler temperatures during our stay, so the pool was far colder than the set-point temperature. However, that is not a fault of the property owner. It was a great stay for a small family!
This property was perfect for my family of 7 with our 2 fur babies! The beach is a stroll or golf cart ride away but the private pool and patio was our own private oasis! We would definitely rent again!
