Sarah was responsive, accommodating, friendly, and really just a great host. I would recommend Sarah to anyone with a family that wants a comfortable place to stay, that is close to beaches the beautiful Florida beaches.

It was the perfect size for three moms and three 10-year old boys. There was plenty to do at the house, and the beach was relatively close (just 20 minutes away).
Melody

This home works well for families with kids (or for adults who enjoy games!) Our teenagers enjoyed being able to hop on the bikes and make a quick trip to the 7-11 for snacks. And the home was stocked with baby gear for our youngest guest. Regardless of whether you have kids, this home is relaxing and well-stocked with essentials. (Thanks for the coffee!) The heated/lighted pool was clean and warm during our cold-weather stay. The pictures accurately represent the home. We will be back!
