50th BDAY Celebration

I came with my best friends and two of my sisters to celebrate those of us that turned 50 this year. The house was beautiful, very clean and a very small walk to the beach. We loved the game room and really enjoyed that we each had our own bathrooms in our rooms and let's not forget the huge king beds. The house was worth the price we paid as we had more than enough space, a pool, huge living room and open kitchen. Absolutely loved our time here!!

This was one of the best houses we have rented! The entry process was easy and so simple. We came into a clean, fully stocked with towels and linens! There was enough space for everyone to have fun together and then able to have alone time when needed! Pool was the right size for everyone to enjoy! -can't wait to book this place again!!

Nice trip

The place is very nice. The pool heat is awesome. Location is close to the beach. They have a wagon and some chairs. There was a pack and play and box fans. I would recommend staying there. The pool area could use a few more chairs for such a large home. Over all great place.

Family 2024

Overall a wonderful experience. A lot more stairs than expected. It’s actually 3 levels due to the game room. It’s an older home but decorated wonderfully. The game room is great. The kids really enjoyed it. There are trundle beds in both bunk rooms but one can’t be used due to the ladder on another bunk. The bunk rooms share a bathroom and one of the king suites bathroom is actually a hall bath. For our group this wasn’t a problem but would be if you need 4 king suites with en-suite baths My only real negative is that you can’t see or get to the pool from inside the house, You have to go outside and through a gate to access the pool. Overall a great house and great location!!

Everything it claims to be, and more!

I stayed here with 7 of my adult nieces. The house had everything we needed - including coffee if we needed it. (I bought pods for the Keurig but to my surprise, there was a tub of ground coffee in the cupboard.) The bedrooms were clean and spacious, and so were the common areas. The rooms with the bunkbeds were warmer than the rest of the house. Otherwise, no complaints. Would definitely stay again!

Fabulous House

Clean, roomy, beachy....everything we wanted for our vacation. Convenient to the beach with an easy walk. We LOVED the game room, which was soundproof from the rest of the house and a perfect evening retreat after putting the babies to bed. Clean pool, lots of beach stuff, big yard for games and dogs. Bring some of your own big skillets or pans (there was only one 9x13) if you intend to cook big meals. They only had big pots. The appliances were all very nice in the kitchen and the laundry room. If you have babies that need their own dark rooms, a small pack 'n play will just fit in some of the bathrooms. Definitely recommend this house!

Great place!

This was a wonderful house. We spent most of our time in the game room. Office managers were very responsive if we needed anything. Was a bit colder and didn’t get to use our heated pool… cold front came through and apparently was the coldest it’s been in over 30 years! Not their fault however.

Thanksgiving Week 2022

Booking this house was easy. Daniel with 850 Vacations was super nice. Didn't need to call management during our stay. The house is great. Very clean and equip. Plenty of towels. For those traveling light: There are small shampoos, conditioners, body wash, and lotion in all the bathrooms. There are about 12 beach chairs, 7 umbrella's, 2 beach wagons, sand toys, 2 boogie boards, and some pool floats in the closet. Will know better next time, so I don't have to travel with my beach chairs and umbrella's. There are 2 refrigerators and 1 wine frig. Very helpful for all our food and drinks. Close to so much. We ate at AJ's and McGuire's, so I recommend those places. Short walk to the private beach. Beautiful white sand and clear gulf water. Game room was a blast, had so much fun in there. Paid extra to heat the pool, which was at 90 degrees - super nice. Beds were comfortable (you don't always get that out of a rental house). The only thing was that 2 of the bedrooms got super hot over night, even with the air conditioner on. (Vents were open). Would definitely stay there again!!!!
