Home is located in a quiet and safe area. Beautiful beaches and fun restaurants are a short walk or golf cart ride away. Also, close to the outlet mall, grocery store, and a short car ride or uber away from other wonderful places to eat and shop.- Reviewed On: 9/27/2025

Very nice place to stay at. Upon arriving the codes given to us were clear and we were able to get into the neighborhood and the Airbnb w little to no hassle. The place was also very clean upon arriving which is a plus. The golf cart provided is also very helpful especially getting to and from the beach since it’s a little bit of a longer walk to get there from the Airbnb. Overall I would highly recommend this place for a group looking for a nice clean place to stay at near the beach and close to restaurants and other places of entertainment.- Reviewed On: 7/2/2025

When we arrived we unpacked and headed to the beach. When we got to the gate someone held it for us to go on the beach. Upon returning we found you have to have a code to go out the gate. I searched everywhere but could not find one, we had the code to Wavy Whale and door code but no gate code. I messaged Ryan but he never responded so we walked half mile to go out the public entrance. We had to wait until the next day and call the office and the girl there was very helpful.- Reviewed On: 6/20/2025

Hi Randall, thank you for the feedback. I apologize that you didn't have the gate code for the beach. It was provided for you in the digital guestbook that you received the link to 1 week prior to your stay. That link is also sent the day before and the day of arrival. I am glad that you were able to use the code for the rest of your stay. The Team at Travel Life VacationsTravel Life Vacations staff
