Great place to stay! Answering to other reviews AC where a bit noisy but you can turn the one in the bedroom off when going to bed and leave the living room on an it’s pretty cold. Everything else was amazing

This was a fantastic stay! The home was big and very well kept. One of the cleanest AirBnbs we have ever stayed at. We used the beach umbrella for our beach days the host also included many other great beach items. Randy responded faster than any host we’ve had before. Will book again.

We absolutely loved this place! I love that they put recommendations in the book. Not being from Florida it was so helpful to know things to do in the area. The common space in the back was so peaceful. And having a washer and dryer was extremely convenient! I loved the private drive way. And the location even though downtown. It was so quiet and peaceful. The beds were super comfortable. I had half a mind to ask where they were purchased. And I loved that the sheets were soft and the pillows were NOT the hotel feather pillows. Where did you buy them?! lol the couch was a perfect place for a nap, and the games came in handy. Randy was responsive, and helpful. It was the perfect space for my family. We felt at home.
