The location was perfect. Walking distance to two shopping strips and the beach access. The house comfortably fit 7 families, some with small kids. There was a plumbing issue/water leak in one of the bathrooms down stairs. We contacted Village Reality and after about 5 or 6 hours, someone came out to fix it. Over all, our stay was wonderful.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the daydream believer. The house was conveniently located near shopping, dining, and entertainment. The beach was beautiful and very easy to get to from the house. It was a perfect home for our family vacation.

The house was perfect for our group of five families - each room had an en suite bathroom so we all had privacy. The neighborhood was private and peaceful, but a very short walk to a few shops and restaurants. The beach was beautiful and a short walk away. It was everything we could want!

We had a lovely stay. There were 16 of us, and the space worked really well for us. We particularly enjoyed: * The kitchen. It worked well for cooking for a crowd, and the dining space was lovely. * The bedrooms. They were spacious and really nice. * The pool. Our crowd enjoyed using it! * Proximity to the beach. The neighborhood is lovely, and we always walked to the beach, though the time we took my 91-year-old father to the beach we appreciated having parking available at the beach. * Proximity to the grocery. Having the grocery only a few steps away was super-convenient! * Having the playground so close. That was a hit with our little ones. * Car-free living. Most of us didn't use our cars during our entire stay! We had a lovely stay, and we hope to stay at the rental again next year!
