Spacious + Relaxing

We had a wonderful stay at this perfect house super close to the beach. The beach was on the more crowed side, but that is understandable given the location. The pool was the perfect temperature, and all the rooms were great sizes. Can't wait for next year!

In-Laws and Immediate Family

My wife's side of the family and mine got together for a beautiful vacation. Plenty of things to do on the property, the kids wouldn't leave the pool. The adults wouldn't leave the hot tub. Easy 3 minute walk to the beach, loved the binder the owner has that suggest tours and restaurants. Thank you.

Great location - close to the beach, close to food and grocery stores! The house was very clean when we arrived and welcoming with every kitchen utensil needed (the blender, ice maker and coffee grinder were especially nice to have). The pool and hot tub were great and the daily setup of 4x chairs and an umbrella at the beach were a nice touch (from 9am-4pm). Some things that could be improved are: 1. More 'starter supplies' like kitchen trash bags, liquid dish soap (to go with the included dish sponge), bar soap for the bathrooms. 2. The linens and dish towels were lacking, we had a hard time finding sheets for the downstairs pullout couch/bed and had to use bath hand-towels in the kitchen. 3. There was land-scaping/construction being done across the street which woke us up several mornings before 8am....a temporary thing. 4. There was a picture that had a room with a bunk-bed that wasn't in the house, but it worked out with one kid sleeping on the pull-out couch downstairs. The neighbors were really friendly always saying hi to us and our kids. All-in-all, we had a great time and would look forward to coming back to this same house/neighborhood again!

House was nice! Pool was good. Needed drain fixed. Community very nice. Easy access to beach. A few items needed maintenance due to storms coming through in the evenings (AC top floor & internet access). Would stay again.

Great neighborhood for kids/easy walk to beach

This house was beautiful and spacious. Kids loved the pool and the big front yard for games. Close to the beach and an easy walk to stores.

House - Great! Property Management Company - Sigh

The location and house are fantastic!! Really our only frustration was with the Property Management company. When we initially booked it, they kept sending us payment links that wouldn't work - then turn around and email us that since we hadn't paid we could lose our booking. Two days before arrival, we were told we'd get our door code through the APP. That never happened. Then upon arrival, we didn't receive any notification that we'd need a community gate code, so we were stuck outside in the rain with a toddler. Since their office was closed, it was a bit of a "to-do" to finally get someone to call us back - and only after we called the emergency line (which is supposed to be reserved for floods, fires, etc.). All in all - we'd absolutely stay here again - but now we know we have to do more work on our end to avoid any mishaps and truly enjoy our vacation.

Family Beach Week

Beautiful house and pool and a great location. However, the property manager could do a better job maintaining and preparing the house. No TP, No soap, half the lights in the house and nearly all outside lights were burnt out. Several kitchen cabinet doors had fallen off and were not repaired.

Beautiful house and. Excellent location!

We joined another family (total of 12 people) for a wonderful stay at antonica. The house was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The location is stunning and so convenient to stores and restaurants. Out stay could not have been better. Just some minor snags - top bunk bed had no sheets, the gas grill ran out of gas (was replaced 2 days later) and we could not find a broom in the house. Aside from that, it was perfect!
