This was the perfect place for kids! We had easy access to the park, and countless other amenities. Riding the golf cart to the pool was a form of entertainment for my kids in and of itself! The home was beautiful. The whole area was great!

Reviewer Comments:
This was a wonderful vacation rental for our family to get away for a long weekend! The home was spacious, clean, and very accommodating for our family of four adults and two children. It was close to the park so that we could just walk to let the kids play. The use of the golf cart was so handing in going to the beach or to the swimming pool. The home was very clean and everything we needed was available to us. We enjoyed the cool evenings around the firepit and using the grill for hotdogs and burgers! This was our second time to vacation at Beachwalk Resorts, and we will definitely be back! We have recommended this area to our family and friends, as it's a great place to come!

Reviewer Comments:
We just got back from a week long stay at Life's Been Good. This house is brand new and super nice. Very nice kitchen and bathrooms. Very clean. We loved being close to the playground and really enjoyed the screened in porch. This house has 3.5 bathrooms which is a lot for a house this size! The golf cart was really great to have as this home is located in the very back of the neighborhood so a must when going to the beach. Overall, our stay was wonderful and the owners made it even better with a few extras at arrival. Would definitely stay here again.
