This was by far the best vacation home I've stayed in for years. It was very clean and close to so many restaurants and other shopping needs. We will definitely be returning in the near future.

Property needed repairs.
Pool filter lid kept coming off. Granddaughter hurt her foot in it. Cracks around pool and inside tile floors. Dryer had to be ran 3 times on every small load. New bedding is needed. Trash found under bed and nightstands. 1 kitchen towel. Couch needs replaced. Was not worth the money I paid.

The Property had more to offer than was advertised. There were actually 3 refrigerator. So plenty of space. To much to mentioned. If you are looking for a large place, close to the beach, The Relaxing Retreat should be on your short list.

Great family weekend!
Plenty of room! Well stocked kitchen and bedrooms. Plenty of towels, blankets, pillows etc. Comfy cots too! Pool is fun and heated feature awesome. Short walk to beach. Overall wonderful experience. The only negative is proximity of the pool in terms of all the adjacent neighboring pools. We had some annoying, super discourteous neighbors across the way who played annoying music for 12 to 14 hours of the day with absolutely no regard for others. But what can you do? Some people just suck at life.

Bachelorette weekend
House was perfect for a group of 8 girls coming to celebrate a soon to be bride. Very spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and kitchen provided almost everything you could need. Mostly clean with some minor issues. Texted Allen with some questions and got a quick response and solution. Couple suggestions would be more toilet paper should be provided if you are having a group of 8+ or should be listed that limited toilet paper is provided. Comforters and blankets should be washed after EVERY visit (not just the sheets) A couple of light switches need some attention. The sliding glass door is tricky to lock. And lately the wifi instruction listed on the Vrbo check in instructions is not what is posted in the home. Overall a great and comfortable stay! Will definitely be back :)

Keep Family Gathering
The house was nice but had issues. A lot of the bathroom lights didn’t work. Toilets were loose and leaned when using them. Stayed at a lot of rentals and they usually are stocked with minor stuff like toilet paper and paper towels. Nope had to go buy it.There was ants all over kitchen and roachs had to go buy bug spray. Don’t get wrong these are minor cause location was great and house was layed out great. But also one bed had a large lump in middle of bed so you couldn’t sleep on it upstairs. Overall good but definetly needs to clean up and fix some things for guests.

A fun & relaxing place to stay
Our family ranges in age from 3 to 62 and we all had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. We made wonderful memories and left part of our hearts back there for sure. The home is clean, huge and we had lots of space to do inside and outdoor activities. We paid for the heated pool and it was awesome! We would definitely stay here again. The owner is responsive and helpful. We wish we were back there!!

Great area. House needed a good deep cleaning!
Great area, nice set up. The renters before us left the place dirty and trash everywhere. The cleaning company did a very poor job of cleaning. Toilets dirty, microwave disgusting, sand and crumbs on the floors. Litter around the pool area, grill had trash and remnants of food on it. Emailed the owner, 3 days later he responded. I asked about the heated pool, the owner wanted 300.00 bucks to turn the heater on for 5 days. Wow! The place needs a real good deep cleaning and paint. A/C fingers had so much mold it’s a wonder renters aren’t sick. Two of the beds including the master mattress are god awful. Not sure I’d ever go back to this place but would go back to the area.

Family vacation 2023
The house was perfect for 7 adults and 6 children! The bathrooms attached to each bedroom made it so easy to have a large number of people getting ready to go out together! The bathroom off the deck was perfect for use from the pool. So happy that we didnt have to track pool water and sand through the house. Thank you for the use of the wake boards at the beach. They were a big hit for the 8 and 10 year old grandkids (a few of the adults got some use out of them too!) The weather was hot and humid, but coming from Ohio where the summer weather is unpredictable, we really enjoyed the pool and the beach. We will keep this house in our contacts for a possible future vacation! Thank you.

This was our second time staying at this location. Everything was clean and the kids really enjoyed the pool. My only negative comment was that the mattresses were too soft for most of my family. We would definitely book again to stay here.

Great house
House was great. Kitchen had everything we needed and each bedroom had its own bathroom. The one major issue we had was our last night there. We all wanted to get a good night sleep but the neighbors right behind us kept that from happening. They were up well past 2am having a party. They were yelling and screaming making it impossible for anyone to sleep.

Property and location are terrific. Our family has stayed here before and we enjoy the location and layout. Some of the furniture and mattresses will need to be updated in the next year or two, but these are minor in relationship to our overall vacation experience. Will stay here again if available !!

Lovely property great location
The property and home was as described in the listing. Excellent distance from the beach. I did not receive the key code prior to arrival but after calling the owner it was sent a short while after arrival. The key Box was difficult to open by design. There are plenty dishes although I used paper plates to avoid a lot of washing. I am a cooker. No disrespect but only 1 pot was usable to cook in. I made it work. I also purchased a small grill from Walmart for $24 to use. The place was very clean, spotless, clean towels. Bathroom in every bedroom. Lots of space for everyone. Had no complaints. I missed the fact that I had to request heat for the pool during the initial reservation. The backyard was very nice. I would stay again. Oh! Take trash bags with you. One is provided but we needed more.

Great location with everything you could hope for at the property. We had a group of 9 of us stay here and could have had a better experience. The home looks even better than the pictures and is well kept. 1 block from the beach access point. Beach wasn’t too busy so there was room for us to spread out and enjoy the beach. Owners are easily contacted by phone and very understanding and helpful. Would absolutely come back based on this trip.
