What Guests Are Saying
“The house is very large and has plenty of space for a family to spread out and relax. The pool was great and we used it everyday. We made a Cajun boil and ate it on the huge table on the deck. We will stay here again. ”
“Jessica place served it's purpose. It's very spacious and many beds for over 25 people. My suggestion is changing the stove and getting a bigger grill.”
“Jessica was very prompt in responding to our queries. The ping pong ball was missing but she got it delivered within 2 hours along with some additional goodies. I would certainly recommend to stay at this place :).”
“One of the few places that actually lived up to the expectations. Jessica was responsive and very helpful. Enjoyed the private pool and the game room. Overall we had a great time and would be glad to be back again soon.”
“My family of 4 and a friend's family of 4 stayed here and we loved it! Our kids range from 7 months to 5 years old, it was perfect. Having the pool in the afternoons was great. Check in was so easy. We will definitely be back!”
“We had a great stay at this house! It was super spacious and perfect for our large group of 24, plenty of room for everyone to spread out and feel comfortable. The pool was definitely a highlight; clean, relaxing, and a great spot to hang out together. The home was well-equipped, and exactly as described. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay with a big group!”
“The place was great. The only issues we had were with the AC. But to be honest we had alot of kids in and out all day, so that probably contributed to that issue. But overall our stay was great and we would do it again. ”
“A great place to host a high school retreat for our high school group! They loved it and there’s plenty of spots for everyone to have their own space. Thank you, Jessica!”
“Great place. We intentionally had a smaller party than the home is designed for so everyone had plenty of room. The pool hits the spot. The location is a minute drive to surf side beach or the surf side jetty to fish. Everything you need for a large group meal is available in the kitchen. If you want a Hotel ZAZA experience this isn’t it. If you want an amazing middle class, multifamily experience it is perfect.”
