Homeowners are very sweet and responsive. The home is well cared for and only a short walk to the beach and several restaurants. Much less crowded than other spots in the area.

The property was as listed and had everything needed for a wonderful stay. This is the first time we didn’t have to go buy stuff in order to have everything needed for a beach and pool getaway, very well appointed home. Linda was an absolute joy to communicate with, highly recommend this rental!
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
This place is everything the previous viewers have posted. House is well equipped and clean. Nice big wrap around deck to chill while reading a book. Beds comfortable. Pool was great and spent a lot of time in it. Very short walk to the beautiful beach. There are at least 5 restaurants within 5-15 min walking distance and the ice cream shop by the cart/bike rental place has the best butter pecan i've tasted in a long time. Goatfeathers restaurant also has a seafood store on the ground floor and we cooked several delicious meals with Grouper, Scallops and Snapper that we purchased there. If you are into hiking there are many trails within a very short distance (Alltrails app very handy) My wife and I hiked several and were able to see alligators and ospreys which was nice. Added bonus....if you are a military plane buff there are daily fly overs by military jets from all branches. F-18s, F-16s, F22s, A10 Warthogs, C130s.....etc and if you were lucky enough they flew in close....quite exciting to see! We were lucky and had to most amazing weather. It was a great week and we would highly recommend Blue Parrot!! Jeff
