This was our second stay at Cool Change. When we arrived it truly was an air-conditioned oasis with a full Japanese foot bath and beautifully lit shell garland greeting us. We especially enjoyed the kayaks and stand-up paddle boards this year and discovered how nice it was to hang out on the deck under the house (and use the hammock) on during the heat wave. Horses visited the yard regularly and we saw fish jump out of the canal and watched egrets, herons and osprey. All four of us and our dog are excited about returning again next year.

Our stay was excellent, the house was clean and very cozy. Our host helped with any questions we had quickly. It was a perfect week to see horses out on the beach. I counted over 50 horses on the beach in different groups in one day. We also saw horses around the house. Overall, this house is the perfect place to stay. Not many rentals offer as much as she does. Once we figured out the best way to travel on the beach and which mile post (21 or Firestation road) to take to get to our house it was fun traveling on the beach. First time, we were wondering what we got ourselves into. New experience for us driving on the beach and parking your truck on the beach while you are enjoying the beach. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing time, the home was lovely and very accommodating. So close to the beach you could walk if you wanted too, yet tucked away very nicely. My family had a wonderful time, thank you for everything. Amber, the host, was equally accommodating and went out of her way to take care of us, even after the visit. Thank you!!

This was an outstanding property. We use vrbo a good bit and this home was the most well stocked we’ve ever seen. The location on the canal was perfect. The variety of wildlife we saw daily over 4 weeks was incredible. If you’re planning a trip to the 4x4 this is your place to be.
