I cannot speak highly enough of this rental property. The owner, Nina, was absolutely wonderful to work with and helped us get situated. The location of the house was perfect: it is less than a two-minute walk to the beach access and is very easy to do with young children. This part of the beach is GORGEOUS! Soft sand, beautiful water, and fairly private. We were there during peak season, and there was plenty of room on the beach in the mornings and afternoons. It is a considerably quieter beach than closer to PCB, which was exactly what we wanted for our family. The house is also less than a five-minute drive to a grocery store, pharmacy, and Bayou Bill's (which our party found to be quite an enjoyable night out). The residential area was quiet, but we were only 15-20 minutes away from the numerous activities in PCB.
The house itself is great, too! We stayed in the bigger of the two houses and had plenty of space. We loved that the kitchen and the dining room were on the entrance floor. The three king bedrooms were spacious, and the beds were awesomely comfortable. The fourth "bedroom" is less of a bedroom and more of a very functional open space on the second floor. It isn't private (you have to walk through it to get to the stairs and to the laundry), but it was a great sleeping space for our kids and worked out perfectly. The house was clean (a high priority for us), modern, and comfortable. I would highly recommend this house for a large family or two families (we had four adults and four kids under 10). This isn't a complaint at all, but it might be important to note for folks: the house is three stories, so there are LOTS of stairs. Our family ranged in ages from 5-69, and we didn't mind the stairs at all (we joked that we were working off our dinners!). Plus, the stairs is what provides access to a great third-story balcony view!
The pool was an AMAZING addition to this vacation. After spending the mornings at the beach, we enjoyed the pool in the hot afternoons. The four kids LOVED swimming, and the pool is definitely large enough to actually swim in, which isn't something that can be said of all private pools. The pool was clean and provided us hours and hours and hours of relaxation and activity.
We had a great vacation in large part due to staying at this great home. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
