Loved our stay! Amanda was a great host! The home was so comfortable and clean! The hot tub/pool area was private and had such a great vibe - we grilled out 4 nights and enjoy drinks by the pool! The beach was a very short walk and we actually walked to restaurants and Publix, so a great location. Also, definitely use the trolly if you stay on the island, it is a great way to get around also. Would love to stay again!
The host was very helpful and responded promptly. The unit was very clean and exactly what we expected. We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning in the future.
Looks just like pictures.
Close to the beach & trolley stop. Nice pool.
Would be great for a family who wanted to stay together but have some privacy since it's a duplex.
Easy check in.
Would stay here again.
There is no ocean or beach view. There is a shared pool but you do need to walk back and open the fenced in area to access. It is not visible or direct access from this unit. There is a space for a vehicle to park. You do need to walk down the sidewalk and then walk down a road to walk to the beach. Property is close to Walgreens, Publix, dining choices, and transportation. Very clean. We would stay here again!
