Big Family, Big Fun!!!

October 2026

We had 5 adults and a 3 year old. Except there was no good way to secure the front door for the 3 year old, we bought a cheap alarm, it was pretty amazing!! Steps to the beach, lovely, and well appointed. We even had a big family BBQ birthday party one night. It would be nice if they had staples, salt, pepper, but it was fine. Having the pool on-site was great with a kiddo, and they had every beach toy, raft, umbrella, wonderful surprise there as well!!!

Great Spot for Kids

Property was clean and a great location away from the crazy, but still close to everything. Having the option to go to the lagoon side during the tropical storm salvaged our vacation!

The drive was good to this destination. Upon arrival to the Air-BNB, we didn't really know how to get to the rental space. So we went up the first set of stairs we saw which was a few steps. We were stopped by the guest there, she asked where we were going? We answered A201. She directed us in the right area, we saw all those steps and looked at one another and became sad. We managed a routine on how to get everything upstairs. After finishing all those we were EXHAUSTED. The sleeper sofa needs a changed. Very uncomfortable. Overall a good stay. We do in again.

Great time!

Good location right across from the beach with easy access. Lagoon was a fun bonus - kids enjoyed fishing! The beach chairs and beach wagon were also super helpful!
