Perfect beach house for a big group
We had a wonderful stay at this property with our large family group of 16 people. The accommodations were spacious, comfortable, and worked perfectly for everyone. One of our favorite things was the location , being within walking distance of the beach made it so easy to enjoy the ocean whenever we wanted. We did a lot of cooking during our 6-day stay, and the kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals and grill for our family. The pool was also a huge hit and provided hours of fun and relaxation for both the kids and adults. Communication with the host was great
Brenda J from Conroe, TX - Stayed June 2026
