### Recent Reviews
- **Emily Meeks**: "We loved staying here with our family. Everyone had a bathroom, the location is amazing. The lagoon was our favorite. Quiet and easy with kids! And it’s such a short walk! Family of 5 plus 2 grandparents. Just so you know the paddle boards are just decoration 😊 The hosts are incredible. The pool is so much fun!" (10/5)
- **Ben Dodson**: "Our family of four and pup really enjoyed the house. You’re not too far from two entrances to the public beach, but we found the one by the lagoon was much less crowded.

We enjoyed sitting out on the balcony where you can get a glimpse of the ocean and take the sound and the breeze. 

The host very helpful with providing recommendations and instructions. Would easily stay here again." (10/5)
- **Joseph Scruggs**: "Home was great, very clean easy check in, beautiful home, lots of fun things to do around, beach access was great because of how close it was, the kids had lots of fun fishing on the pier in the back also! Highly recommend this place great for family!" (10/5)
