Family Vacation
The property was beautiful and accommodated my family well. Located just a short golf cart ride from the beach other amenities, we were able to survive without a car rental. We definately would love to rent this property again. Our only request would be to provide a broom onsite!

Great Time at Anchor Down
Anchor Down was home base for our annual golf trip. It accommodated the 7 of us very well. We have been renting large beach houses like this for our trip for over 20 years. This property ranks with the best. It is well maintained and stocked with the typical wear and tear to be expected with a beach rental. A couple call outs for future consideration… - The floors and carpets could really use a good scrubbing - One of the upstairs bedrooms was missing window coverings… glad I didn’t get that room!! - If renters are willing to pay for it, pool heat should be available. We missed the June 1 cutoff by 4 days. The pool temp was in the 70’s making it unusable… and the spa really isn’t a spa… it just recirculates the pool water so it was unuassable as well.

Property could have been cleaner. Saw a few cockroaches and that was very unsettling .
We had a great time and the pool area was awesome but I would not rent this property again. Although it was plenty large enough for our group, I feel it needs an overall deep cleaning.

Awesome stay
My daughter was married this summer. We had three separate families stay in this home. It was laid out perfect for us. The property is just as depicted, and we had an amazing stay. We enjoyed the pool, the view from the pool. The tv and grill outside were a big hit.

Family Reunion
Beautiful! Amazing! Great location! Walkable/bikeable to the beach. A very relaxing stay. A few issues that the owner should have addressed prior to our stay including having paid for the heated pool, told on Sat before check-in that the heat was turned on and ready but it was not and finally had it turned on Monday so ready for Tues and no refund issued for the 3 days lost. Some bedrooms do not have closets, which was a little unusual, and my husband in a wheelchair could not access the water closet in the beautiful main bath, but the shower worked well for him. Fortunately we travel with ramps and walkers for him to access the house and patio area. We would stay here again for the view and walkability. Beautiful neighborhood!
