"This house is perfect for a Florida getaway! Walking distance from the beach and restaurants. They literally thought of every thing! Plenty of towels, beach chairs with wagon, the pool was warm and clean. The house has been completely updated and is beautiful inside and out. We will definitely be back!! "

"Great location; it was a quick walk to the beach and less than a mile walk to restaurants and shopping. The house looks just like the photos and has everything you’ll need to cook and enjoy your stay. There are plenty of towels and the house was spotless upon entry. Beds were comfortable, but the pillows were hard/firm. The pool did turn green about 4 days into our stay, but was maintained the last night (it was blue/clear again the next day). I’d recommend this house and stay there again. Thanks for a great family Christmas (2025) trip! "

"This house is less than a 10 minute walk to the beach. The wagon was helpful to carry items to the beach. The kitchen is stocked with all the pots/pans you may need.
You’ll need to bring your own spices/seasoning, cooking oil, etc
They do have a grill with propane on site.
I’m not a fan of contacting the host outside of Airbnb through their own form, which would be my only con."

"This house was beautiful, exactly like the photos. My family and I had so much fun during our stay. The kitchen was full of anything you could use to cook, and my family are big cooks, so we definitely took advantage of that. The house is in a great location, it was like a 5min walk to the beach and they provided a little beach cart to help take all or things. They also provided beach towels, beach chairs and floaties. The house is also walking distance to the main downtown area of the island, which has lots of shops and restaurants. The pool was great too, it is not heated, but with the sun and how hot it is you don't really need a heater. Overall great stay, would definitely book again. It was a great vacation."

Die Betten waren sehr bequem.
Einzig der Baulärm in der Nachbarschaft tagsüber (wie vom Gastgeber erwähnt), war nicht so toll für den hohen Preis.
Auch das Besteck in der Küche war mehrheitlich schmutzig und das Poolwasser etwas trüb."
