The best beach get away!
I took my grown daughters along with a few of their friends for a relaxing beach trip. We loved the quirky decor in the house, reflecting the owner’s affinity for Broadway musicals. There are plenty of books if you like to read, and games. We were greeted by Charlie upon arrival, and he is a charmer! We enjoyed getting to know him and his sweet friend Minette. He shared with us his memorial for his beloved wife, Rebecca. He has a bench for her on the beach, and sponsors a turtle nest in her memory. We found those to be beautiful gestures. We were delighted to find there were plenty of towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, a beach umbrella, and Charlie had even gotten an easy up tent for us to use and a cornhole set. You will want for nothing! You bring yourself, your swimsuits, a cooler and you are good to go! As we are all pretty fair, some might even say “pale” or “transparent,” we appreciated the shade. The beach is a very short walk, and it is not crowded since it is private for the community where we were. We had wanted to use the outdoor kitchen but it was too hot the week we stayed. We used the outdoor shower a lot. I don’t think I ever used the one inside, lol. We had the most relaxing week. We swam all day, ate great food (Shrimpy’s was our favorite), and I slept like a rock. We all did! Couldn’t have asked for a better trip. We appreciate you Charlie!

Toes in the water.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Julia House on The Gulf. It's proximity to the beach was high on our list and it delivered. The sand was incredible and the sunsets were spectacular. We even spotted a dolphin just fifty feet from shore. Several restaurants within walking distance, not to mention the best Mojitos just across the street at the 360. The accommodations were comfortable and enjoyably eclectic. The patio however was where we spent most of our time enjoying a beverage(s), the sun, the breeze and stories about our daily experiences. Charlie was the best character and host you could meet with stories galore. Already missing Charlie.

Best beach location
Had a brilliant week in this charming Floridian house. Plenty of space for family of 5, kids aged 10-16. Great outdoor space. Absolutely fantastic location, just steps from the beach. Charlie is a great host, welcoming, friendly and very hospitable. All the beach stuff you could need is there - towels, beach chairs, buckets etc. thoroughly recommend. The beach is beautiful, quiet with white sand and shallow turquoise sea. Perfect for families.

A 4 minute ealk to the beach!
Our host was kind, helpful, and an engaging storyteller. The house is furnished with myriad Broadway show posters, so that you feel almost as an ex NYtheatergoers. The delightful beach is just a few minutes walk away. There are a variety of shops, restaurants, cafes, and a Publix supermarket and CVS drugstore...

AWESOME!
We had an awesome time! The house was perfect for us. We would go to the beach every morning then walk back for lunch. It was so nice not having to bring towels, beach chairs and umbrellas - Charlie and Rebecca had everything available for us to use. One of the best parts of our trip was meeting and spending time with Charlie and Rebecca. They are the best hosts and we certainly count them as friends now. Stay here. You won’t regret it!

At the Beach
This was a great spot just steps from the beach, where we strolled mornings and evenings (to spectacular sunsets!). Charley and Rebecca's house shares a beautiful tropical courtyard with the property. They were there for our first week, and were gracious and fun, including a lovely dinner on the patio for us on a Saturday evening. Would definitely rent again.

Cute,charming,needs some upgrades
This property is charming enough,I would recommend some upgrades.Some of the light switches weren't working to the point where I went to plug in a small heater the outlet shorted out and maybe invest in a new couch or clean the material.The patio area is very nice and big, unfortunately it rained half the time and couldn't really enjoy it.The property is located on a very busy road literally out the front door.The big plus to the house is the proxemty to the beach Which made up for the other issues.

Perfect spot for relaxing stay
We are a couple and a single friend. Two bedrooms and two baths worked perfectly. We loved the courtyard where we could grill and entertain. Very close to the beach and Don Cesar. Treat yourself to an evening walk under the bridge. It is lit up beautifully. Charlie and Rebecca were great hosts and we enjoyed an evening sitting outside and visiting.

Outdoor kitchen and private beach!
Rebecca and Charlie are wonderful people and great hosts! We really enjoyed getting to know them. The patio with the outdoor kitchen was awesome! We grilled several meals and relaxed in the lounge chairs! The private beach is great for soaking up the sun, collecting shells or playing bocce ball, which we did for several hours during each beach day! It was a great stay, thanks Rebecca and Charlie!

Courtyard Oasis and Short Walk to Beach
We really enjoyed our stay at Julia House. The hosts are welcoming and personable. The tropical setting in the courtyard provides a quiet space to read, socialize or entertain, and the walk to the beautiful beach is simple and quick. The house is located on a busy road, with bedroom windows adjacent to it, so traffic noise is steady throughout the day, and eases at night. While some areas of the house could use a refresher, an update or a deep clean, the space is very comfortable and homey and the hosts accessible and engaging. Easy access to laundry facilities, cupboards stocked with various staples, and the use of beach chairs help make you feel at home.
