Family Vacay

The duplex had plenty of room and super comfortable for our teenagers and toddler. The property is well taken care of and super quiet. A golf cart is a great way to get to and from the beach access since you have to cross a busy highway.

Beautiful beach house in the Rookery Neighborhood

Of all the houses my group booked in the Rookery this one was the nicest! We had a wonderful stay and the hosts were excellently helpful. This house is very close to the pool and tennis court in the neighborhood (court does have pickleball lines). The beach is about a half mile away and can be walked to! Would love to stay here again.

Excellent place to stay that was close to the beach. We loved being able to have all of the kids (6 teenagers) stay in one room together! Clean house and very, very close to the swimming pool. Beautiful scenery around the home and very easy to get to the beach.

The house was as comfortable as home, Katie treated us like family and was helpful with anything we needed. This was our first time using VRBO and she walked us through every question. The close proximity to the giant pool was fantastic for the kids, It was very peaceful at night, absolutely perfect for a relaxing vacation!
