Review for The Front Porch

"We enjoyed the house and convenience to the pool and beach. Golf cart was a cool feature to ride to the beach on. Also loved how close the house is to two very nice golf courses!

"14 family members gathered for a beach vacation. Even though the house isn't directly on the beach, it's not too far away. A 6 passenger golf cart was provided plus 2 bicycles. The property included beach towels, beach chairs and beach toys for the kids. The kitchen was pretty much stocked. There are arcade games on the second and third floors, but they did not work. The number of beds and bathrooms was perfect for 9 adults and 5 children. Would definitely consider staying at this property again.

"Lovely and beautiful home close to the beach and other attractions. Enjoyed having our whole family (party of 15) in one location and having 3 separate floors allowed privacy and quiet. Large bedrooms with en-suites were perfect for 5 different couples with children. Going to the pool in the evenings was a lot of fun after a busy day.

"From finding the house to check out was one of the smoothest processes I have ever done. The house fit our needs and more! The whole family was in awe of the beautiful area and the beach was amazing. Jaytin came to welcome us and brought a really nice welcome box. I was very impressed and was made to feel right at home. There was only one small negative, and that wasn't anyone's fault but the neighbors next door to us. The men were playing cards, drinking, and (SMOKING) on their back patio after midnight and were so loud I could hear them through our closed bedroom window! I had to put ear plugs in to sleep since we were going to try to leave early. We took seriously the quiet time rule, I wish everyone did. Everything else about the front porch was definitely luxurious and loved!😍
