Turn off all lights, fans can be left on. 3. Turn off TVs, coffee makers and other electronics. 4. All dishes should either be cleaned or put into dishwasher and start dishwasher cycle.

We had to book last minute due to a hurricane switching up our initial plans to stay in the panhandle. We booked a day before our stay and as we felt stressed, we immediately fell in love with this properties views and distance to the beach. We booked and less than 20 minutes later, the host had already confirmed and was so helpful and understanding. The place is beautiful, you walk off the patio right to the beach with a private entrance. The home was beautiful, the views were beautiful!

Beautiful and peaceful getaway. Close to Publix and A1A Fisheries ( Fish market). Excellent views from the whole east side of the building. Adequate kitchen supplies to cook your own meals. Excellent views from the entire east side of the building. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beach access was great. All beds were clean and very comfortable. WiFi was very spotty at best. Windows looking out to the ocean were dirty. We asked to have them cleaned and were told they were stained. However my wife cleaned all 8 for a perfect view. Kitchen faucet is broken. They said they were going to fix it but didn’t. Also some bugs on master BR ceiling due to rain. Was told they would spray the next day but didn’t. Overall we went for the beach access and that was great. Wish they would have done a better job with cleaning but they were very responsive.
