Perched right on the Gulf, this beautifully furnished, impeccably clean beach house offers breathtaking water views, a large covered back deck for sunrises, sunsets and wildlife, and a smart layout with private bedrooms and en-suite baths that suits families or couples equally. Guests praise crisp linens, ample space and thoughtful amenities (bring your own beach towels, pods and trash bags). A few minor, typical rental issues were reported but didn’t diminish excellent stays.

This was an amazing place! If you are looking for a place 10 steps from the ocean this is it. We are not really beach people but came to celebrate our daughter’s 30th birthday. It was perfect for us because the porch makes you feel like you are right down there on the beach. We did a lot of wildlife watching through the binoculars and even saw dolphins swimming! The house is in great condition. We loved the fact that every bedroom area had its own bathroom. The stairs are quite a climb but didn’t bother us at all but could be an issue if you have mobility issues. You can obviously see that from the picture though. As we walked the shore we could tell that this porch and house were in really good shape compared to other houses. We enjoyed the Audubon bird sanctuary while we were there and got to see even more wildlife. The kitchen does NOT have essential things like salt, pepper, oil and Saran Wrap-just FYI-but does have cookware. We’d stay here again in a second! Bring beach chairs.

This was a perfect place for our family vacation. The house was truly beachfront and so close to the water. The layout of the house was amazing, all of the bedrooms had bathrooms and were all located down the hallway away from the kitchen and living room which made it perfect for when some people wanted to stay up and hang out and others wanted to sleep. The house was so spacious and had comfy furniture but lots of room for our toddler to run freely and get energy out without worrying about him running into things or breaking something. The ONLY NEGATIVE of the entire house was the stairs outside leading to the house. They were straight up and treacherous. They were so shaky and felt like they might give out and more than one person couldn't go up or down at a time because of how much they shook. Every other house near this one had a stair case pattern that zig zagged and seemed more sturdy, but this one was straight up and honestly would make us question staying there again.

The house was better than represented in the listing’s pictures. Good quality furniture and plenty of seating. Perfect location directly on the beach. We would definitely stay here again if ever back in the area. You won’t be disappointed if you stay here!
