The perfect family getaway!

I cannot express how wonderful this property was for my family on spring break! The house setup is perfect for a multi family vacation destination. The beach access is so close and convenient for a nice stroll! The family really enjoyed the heated pool, which was maintained while we were there to ensure everything was working and cleaned as expected. We will definitely be back for our next trip to PCB!

Can't beat the location!

Pros: * Such a great place in the most accessible location! We were steps away from Beach Access 9 and it was a VERY doable walk. * Lots of room for the ten of us to spread out! The bedrooms were all of awesome size with plenty of closet space. The den/kitchen area was very spacious! We had fun putting together puzzles and playing games at the dining table that fit all of us! (Rarity!) * Loved having our own personal, private pool! (Though very chlorine-y!) * Loved having a front porch, back patio, and balcony to chill out on! * Going during the 4th of July holiday week was 100% worth it! FIREWORKS FOR DAYS!! * Great AC/fridge/appliances. * Impressed at the starter kits of consumables - that area is usually lacking in condos/houses. * Ample parking for our 3 vehicles (plus cousin visitor parking one day!) Cons: * The cookware is somewhat lacking. In trying to cook each night for 10, I could've used more of the larger dishes to bake with. * As stated, there were 10 of us - only 8 forks. I was constantly washing forks. :) If a house sleeps 12, maybe starting with 12 forks would be great. Minor problem, I know, but the only thing I complained about daily in the kitchen. * The bunk room needs a curtain or something. The first night, the teens in there got zero sleep from the bright lights turning on in the night from the bathroom. The next night they hung the comforters from the top bunks to keep the light out. * I don't know if it's a Florida thing, but we took quite a few photos and videos of roaches around the property. Especially the outdoor patio by the pool. * We went to grill burgers and dogs on the 4th and both gas tanks were empty at the grill. Not a problem - we went to Winn Dixie and got another one, but just an inconvenience. (We were reiumbursed...no biggie.) * The main doors (front and back) have heavy wooden-slatted blinds on them that if secured, might be MUCH quieter. They are pretty great noisemakers going in and out. * We were offered a few more nights to stay via text and when I replied back to ask them about it, no one replied. We definitely would've stayed 1-2 more nights. We would DEFINITELY come back to this area again and are already planning it for a few times next year. But, after seeing a couple of the other units (identical floorplans) next to this one, we might try one of those. But, we wouldn't hesitate to come back to this one if the others were rented. Our Party of 10 had a great time!

Quick Getaway

We were able to rent this property two days before we were to arrive. It was everything we needed including allowing two small dogs. There were good reviews, as well. The fee to allow the dogs was a bit pricey, though, It was just three short minutes to stroll to the beach. We easily parked two cars and a minivan. The unit had everything we needed to prepare meals and it and the rooms were spacious. We had a child doing remote learning who was able to access the Internet. There were restaurants as well as supermarkets and the restrictions were not stifling. The only issue was that the first floor bedroom had a window in the bathroom that was uncovered and allowed the next door neighbors to look down into that bath

Great location!

This property was great! The house was large enough for 7 adults and 3 toddlers. The walk to the beach was short and easy! The property manager was great about getting back to us. The only complaint would be the lack of cooking utensils, with such a large group it was hard to cook large meals with the items provided and even had to go out and buy a pan. Overall I would absolutely stay here again!

Wonderful house & location

We had 4 families stay in this house. It was amazing! 8 adults, 2 children, and 2 infants. It was perfect! Loved being so close to the beach. Literally beach access 8 is 50 yards to your right and 9 is 50 yards to your left. Schooners is a very short walk from the house. Beach was not crowded at all since you are surrounded by houses instead of condos. This home was perfect! We would absolutely stay again!

Perfect Setup and Location

This house was so beautiful and comfortable for our families! Just a few steps to the beach (so easy to come back and use the bathroom or eat lunch) and so nice to have the outdoor shower and pool to come back to. The only very small things we missed were lamps by the master beds for reading at night, hooks on every door for towels, and a DVD player. But overall, this could not have been a better or more comfortable vacation spot!
