There are three properties to my knowlege all owned by same owner, that kinda makes choosing which house little difficult. The number of bedrooms and bathrooms in each house is accurate, however the photos of inside house intermingle with each other. We did choose the best house of the three the Hemmingway, in my opinion. Everything was in Perfect working order but the long deck walk way to the beach. However, Mother nature did that with a hurricane recently. The furniture was very comfortable especially the large living area ! Stunning Location and stunning views from all over the house and decks. Easy check in and out. Lots of privacy. Do read all the info about needing a 4 wheel drive, only go with a really decen 4 wheel drive vehicles. All in all we would highly recomend this for a large party or group vacation. Great Stay!

Perfect place for family fun at the beach. Great floor plan with plenty of beds and bathrooms. Terrific beach access and the sand driving was fun! If you need a big house, this is your place.
