Perfect spot
The house was very spacious, located in a great spot, close to the beach and had plenty of room for 2 vehicles and a boat. The owners were very nice and helpful with the whole process and communicated with us often. (4 min from Krispy kreme 👍)

My husband and I brought our teenage daughter, adult son, youngest son and mother in law for a sporadic vacation getaway! The house was perfect! Location was perfect! Everything was as advertised! The Kirby’s went above and beyond making sure we had a great and relaxing stay! I cant thank them enough for letting us book last minute! We can’t wait to go back!! Because we definitely will be back to the Kirby’s!

Family Beach Vacay
My family and another family stayed here for 1 week. The house has a vintage beach cottage feel with a great screen in porch, plenty of space for kids to play underneath the house, close walking access to the beach, open concept living and dinning and plenty to do in a surrounding. We would highly recommend this for families who would like to have entertaining beach days and quiet beach nights! The owner has an abundance of knowledge of the area and is great at sharing that with future guests.

Great location!
Great location and short walk to beach. Had some issues with cleanliness at check-in (seems like the cleaning company was rushing to get done since they were still in the house after check-in) and let the owner know. She was extremely attentive and rectified the situation! Would definitely rent again!

This property had everything our family needed during our stay. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, dishes and glassware. There was also a nice selection of family games that we thoroughly enjoyed. Very nice spacious accommodations as our family of eight did not feel crowded at all. The location is perfect as we felt very safe and it only took a few minutes to walk to the beach. A very enjoyable experience from beginning to end.

Fantastic place to stay!
Family beach trip of 10 people (ages 5, 6, 10, 13, 14, 16, 17, 43, 47, & 65). House was very spacious and comfortable. My kiddos loved that it was a short walk to the beach and on rainy days they rode their hoverboards under the spacious deck while the adults sat on the screened in porch! House was FULLY stocked and I was grateful as we arrived late at night coming from WV. House was clean and comfy for a large family for vacation time. We had a fabulous week here and didn't want to come home. Can't wait till next year. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ all the way with this one!

Our beach trip
We had a blast at 123 rainbow drive 🌈. The house had plenty of space for our kids to play and hang out. The house is really close to the beach to where walking is not a problem. The owner was very helpful and made the process stress free. I would 100% recommend to anyone.

Beautiful vacation home
We enjoyed a week here with my husband, two kids (11yr, 14yr), and my parents. The home was everything we could ask for. Very clean and short walk to the beach. Made so many precious memories this past week.. Looking forward to our next time!

Welcoming warm home
We had a great time at the beach with family from Colorado, Tennessee, Georgia and S.C. The house was very comfortable and welcoming. The only thing we brought were towels and washcloths.... everything else was provided including toilet paper!! Ms Kirby thought of everything- thank you for great stay!

What a wonder beach house. Linda is such a wonderful lady, you will feel like you have known her all your life. We had a wonderful week ( a day of Hurricane Arthur). The house is by far the cleanest and fully stocked with everything you need for a week at the beach. My Grandkids loved playing and sitting under the house. We hope to rent this house again.

Nice beach house
This house is just as described in the listing. It is beautiful, very clean, and well maintained. Everything was very child friendly, once we figured out how to open and close the shades. We had several kids that enjoyed the underneath for riding scooters, trikes, etc. The screen porch is a great relaxing place and the walk to the beach is short. Overall, this is the best house I have ever stayed in on vacation. The owner seems very nice and I would definitely rent from her again.

Best vacation ever!!
This was by far the best vacation rental experience I have ever been through!! The house was wonderful! Cleanest place I have ever stayed!! This house is equipped with everything you need to make your stay feel like "home" for a week. The owner has made sure you have everything you need to have a relaxing non-stressful vacation. Plenty of room for your family. Nice size yard for kids to play in! The owner is one of the nicest people I have ever had the privilege to talk to and I can't wait to talk to her again next year to book this house again!! You will NOT regret this rental!!

Great Garden City beach house
What a great place to stay! Great location-short walk to the beach and minutes away from the pier and our favorite restaurant- Conch Cafe. Very clean and comfortable too. Everything you would need in the kitchen. We had 8 people(2 adults and 6 teenagers) and had plenty of room. The updates were very nice. Hope we can go back soon! We enjoyed our stay!
