Spring Break This property is perfect for large groups. Really nice with a nice pool area for entertainment. The location was only a block away from the beach which was great since we didn't have to worry about parking. Our family enjoyed our time there.

Great Experience We rented the commanders Palace for a week long stay with 35 family and friends. The home had plenty of space to support the group our size. Many of the rooms are multi sleep so as long as you have people willing to share a room this place is great for large groups. Parking was a little issue so make sure you have no more than 10 cars. Location was awesome and beach is walking distance. Our contact Ray during our stay was awesome- we had an issue with the grill and gas stove, this was identified late evening but he still responded and was there the next day to correct. Ray service alone would motivate me to book this place again

Two houses with a pool two blocks from the beach The houses were laid out to offer lots of options for kids, families, teens. There were 29 of us and we were not crowded . Tasteful decorations. Easy walk to the beach and a fun local restaurant. Renting the golf cart was great for carrying beach stuff. Also, we were able to arrange for a bonfire on the beach one night. The only drawback is the kitchen range. It still works but not well. All in all I would highly recommend this listing for location and space and the really helpful local management!
