60th Birthday Family Celebration

Perfectly located for enjoyment of the beach, live music, and fantastic food and drinks. We could walk to everything. Great space for young and old. Really appreciated the heated pool!! Accommodations are situated on separate floors and not side by side. Felt a little rushed on the departure.

Wonderful Senior Spring Break

House was perfect for families of 6 high school seniors for spring break trip. We had 22 people, and the house accommodated us very well. The kids loved their separate spaces, and having the beach and Village area so close by. The bikes and beach chairs were wonderful to have.

Great house & location

Love the location and modern house will all its amenities!It was super clean, beautiful and really everything was thought of - the cup cakes in the fridge were great bonus after a long day of traveling. The walls were very sound isolated and we never heard our neighbors. Also great service as we called and made a few checkin changes at the end, would recommend this great house to anyone!
