What Guests Are Saying
“Great place for our large family together for the weekend! Beautiful views from the patios”
“The home was massive and super beautiful. It accommodated my large family before our vacation cruise. We all had a great time. Book here if you love to fish. We caught Redfish, Alligator Gar, Sand Trout, Lady Fish. Just be sure to wear your mosquito repellent. We would love to come back in the future.”
“Beautiful place. Will come back again”
“Our family enjoyed our stay and it accommodated us all well! The place was spacious and sunset view was the perfect ending.”
“Beautiful Bay view. Very quiet and peaceful. No road noise at all! 5mins from Sunny Beach. Great for large families. Very responsive host. Fixed minor issues quickly. Be prepared to bring extra towels, bath/shower stuff if you plan to stay for more than a day.”
“Beautiful home, lots of space for our guests!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely amazing stay! The house was beautiful, spotless, and even better than the pictures. It was incredibly spacious, making it perfect for our family. Everyone had their own room and bathroom, which gave everyone plenty of privacy, and the downstairs suite was such a nice bonus. The views were breathtaking, especially during sunrise and sunset. We spent so much time relaxing on the porches just taking it all in. If you enjoy fishing, this is the perfect location with easy access nearby. It was also wonderful for our kids and teens they had plenty of space to play, explore, and just enjoy being together. The outdoor areas, fire pit, and multiple decks made it easy to relax and create unforgettable family memories. We truly felt at home from the moment we arrived. We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation home and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, spacious getaway with incredible views! 🌅🏡🎣”
“We had a great stay! The property looked just like the photos and description and was exactly as advertised—you get exactly what is promised! Everything was comfortable and made for an easy, enjoyable stay. The host was exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and very responsive. A word of advice: do not fail to bring your mosquito repellent! It is not an exaggeration that they are quite aggressive. Aside from that, we had an amazing time! The fishing was great, and the beach was close by, nice, and easy to enjoy. Overall, this was a wonderful getaway for my family, and we made some great memories. We can’t wait to come back and stay again!”
“Perfect floor plan for our 10 person group. The large kitchen and living area was great for us to gather. Will look to stay here again.”
