The location is prime! It doesn't get any better than this. You really don't need a golf cart or bikes as everything is in walking distance. Seaside is steps away as is all the shops, pools and beach. The home is perfect! Plenty of space for the kids to spread out and the front porch is so peaceful. The kitchen is cute and the seating is comfortable. They could use a few more utensils. The host was great and the style of the house is with current trends. Price was very fair. We will be back!

Clean, organized, beautiful property in very close walking distance to the main beach club pool and beach. Location matters more than almost anything else in watercolor… this is a 5 minute walk to the beach and 10 minute walk to Seaside (Bud & Alley’s, food trucks, shopping). Super handy when part of the family/kids want to head back to the house and others want to stay poolside. The kitchen had everything we needed for breakfast / lunch prep, and we did dinners out each night. There’s a grill outside and management had a brand new, full tank next to it in case we needed it. Note: We rented a golf cart from ECC (over 1000 for the week) and found it wasn’t worth it with how close this home was to everything and how bad 30A traffic is. It was faster to walk everywhere than it was to sit in traffic in a golf cart… and dinner reservations further away really required that we take our actúa vehicle regardless.
