I had a delightful visit to the magnificent house by the sea.

We had an amazing time celebrating our son's birthday in the spacious house by the sea. The ocean views were breathtaking, and the sound of the waves created a serene atmosphere that enhanced the joy of the occasion.

Wonderful Stay!

We have a lovely time! The home is beautiful and has everything you will need for a wonderful trip. The movie theater, the game room, the pool, the kitchen! We had a group of 10, from 6 months to 84 years old and it was perfect! Love the elevator. The beach is beautiful and having the chairs set up for you each day is perfect! We WILL come back. Excellent service, as well.

Breathtaking, can't Stop thinking about the house and beach

Last minute trip with 5 families not many places available, so we splurged on the Big House by the Sea. I think we were one of the first to rent it and now, I don’t know how we can go anywhere else. It is breathtaking. You walk into a huge great room space with unobstructed views of the Gulf of Mexico. We never got tired of it. Even when it rained, it was beautiful. The house just keeps getting better. Our kids were so excited at every turn. The pool and hot tub are big, 15 in the hot tub easily. The covered outdoor area with a tv was great for the littles to nap/relax while we could still be in the pool. The theater was a huge hit, watched Jurassic Park you could hear the roars in the entire house. We were jumping out of our comfy seats, which people napped in also! The kids loved the games in the arcade. The 3rd floor had a small area for kids to color and build puzzles. There were 7 bedrooms, all with their own bath. If you are lucky enough to get the 3rd floor master suite, be prepared to share it. Every day, the adults met for coffee on the deck overlooking the Gulf, even saw dolphins bobbing by. The pirate family suite had 2 full bunks, even a ship’s wheel/bell for the kids to play. The other family suite also had 2 full bunks plus the quiet lounge outside the door. There was a huge bunk bedroom with TVs for gaming with bean bag chairs (great for teens). The 1st floor suite was the quiet one and looked to be perfect older folks due to the 1st floor being all level (there is a ramp outside and elevator too) Then the 3 gulf front suites were just heaven, decks outside the door with breezy views! We had 5 cars and learned to park parallel in the drive for easy access. Huge Kitchen fully equipped, plus a full kitchen on 3rd floor. We used bev frig on 1st floor, so we had more space in main frig for food. Wash/Dryer on every floor. The BEACH, WOW! We noticed it was the least occupied area, because of the private lot, we had 8 chairs reserved in a semi-circle, so it felt like we had it to ourselves. There were sand toys and extra chairs available. We used the bikes and rode to Brewsters for ice cream! Camilles, short am walk for coffee and cinnamon rolls, plus happy hour with a music and a farewell dinner. I can’t stop thinking about the house and beach. My 3 yr old daughter woke up this morning and said, “Are we going to the Big House today?” She will remember this trip forever; I know I will. Saving up to return!
