Our large blended family stayed for spring break with 11 kiddos (ages 1.5-17). We felt right at home and had a wonderful time at the property. It was an easy walk to the beach and very close to so many different entertainment options. Even if you’re staying at the house the entire time you will enjoy your time away from home.

Beautiful house a short walk from the beach. We had 7 adults and 3 kids and there was a ton of space. Beautiful large bathrooms for each of the bedrooms. 10/10 I would stay here again.

Dan has a beautiful home close to restaurants and grocery stores. Property was very comfortable and well equipped with everything you would need for a 4 day vacation. Dan was responsive and accommodating. Would definitely stay at this property again if we return to PCB.

Dan's descriptions and pictures are extremely accurate. The home was spotlessly clean, a major plus. The location is outstanding. Dan is a superior host who responds in a timely fashion. My family and I had an excellent stay and will definitely be back.
