Family Beach Thanksgiving trip

We had our Thanksgiving family get together here. It is a beautiful house, lots of room, and literally right on the beach! Would def rent this place again! The only thing is that not very much cups, plates, and stuff like that so def bring plastic cups and paper plates.
Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024

Great Beachfront Property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed here with 12 adults and 6 kids ages 5 and under. Overall the house was great and was clean and as described, however, the kitchen was seriously lacking in dishes and other basic items. 75% of the cabinets were empty. There was also a ton of sand underneath the house. I've stayed in many beachfront properties and never seen sand under a house like this - I'm not sure if this is something housekeeping usually cleans up and it was missed, or if the sand is there because the dunes are almost gone. Either way, the space in the house was great and I would recommend this rental to others.

Awesome beachfront beach house!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family vaca with 10 people! The house is located on a busy area on weekends, but the week days were perfect! It's located right on the beach. So convenient! Don't even need a golf cart to bring things. It was clean and in order. I suppose the cabin is new because some of the bedroom shades had not been installed yet! Also we were disappointed that the fence had fallen down. That might of happened because of the last hurricane. We immediately had to go to the store for hand soap, toilet paper, and dish soap's. There is only 6 wine glasses, so we purchased some for the cabin. Only 10 plates for a a house that sleeps 16. I just list these thins in case the owner is unaware. It's a great spacious cabin, wonderful beachfront! A perfect family home!
