42nd Anniversary Trip This property was perfect for our 42nd anniversary celebration. The driveway is literally off the beach road and the golf cart that was included was extremely handy. It was immaculately clean inside and out and had all the amenities that we needed. We actually forgot about the pool so I can't review it. But who needs a pool when you got the ocean! Would definitely stay here again Thanks!

This house was in great proximity to the beach. It is dicey getting to it as you have to drive onto the beach road, there are no other roads that go to the house-make sure you have a car that can handle it. We ended up having to cut our trip short due to the incoming hurricane because we were worried about getting stuck. The pool on the property was a huge bonus and was clean and well kept. The house had lots of games and puzzles as well. The kitchen had the bare minimum in it for cooking- there wasn’t even salt and pepper. We didn’t cook much so we made do. The house didn’t feel as clean as it could have been but I think that’s just part of a beach house. We also never received the online guest manual that was supposed to be sent and received no info on renting the golf cart that was advertised with the listing. None of these items were deal breakers for us and we had an overall great time! It’s a fun house and perfect if your priority is being close to the beach- which ours was!

Great stay. Great location. one thing i’d recommend is having the golf cart on location first when only one valid driver is present at rental.
