Great stay. This is a winner.
House was situated perfectly. Just a short walk to the beach. Everyone in our group had their own space because, of the size of the house, each room had it's own bathroom. The deciding factor for us was the pool, the outside space was big enough for everyone to have enough room to play and swim. Loved the theater room to relax with a movie after long day at the beach or shopping. Will definitely book again when I am in the area.
Carlos C from Houston, TX - Stayed July 2024
Thank you for the wonderful review of Beach Basket! We’re so glad the home’s spacious layout, private bathrooms, and perfect location just a short walk to the beach made it such a great fit for your group. It’s fantastic to know the pool and outdoor space gave everyone plenty of room to relax and have fun, and that the theater room was the perfect way to unwind after a full day. Ocean Reef Resorts truly appreciates your kind words, and we would love to welcome you back to Beach Basket and the beach again soon!

Rented beach house for my boys 16th birthday party with 13 of his closest friends. Walking into this house was like walking into my dream home. Every single room was nicely setup with its own walk-in shower. From the heated pool, 2 blocks from beach, basketball court to the home theater.. this place had it all. From all 15 of us…thank you for a memorable weekend in this stunning beach house. We will be coming back, plus bringing y’all some business.
