Our stay here was amazing! I can’t explain how beautiful the house was, so clean and welcoming, had everything we needed and more! The view from our balcony was so beautiful it didn’t feel real! Beach access from our backyard and PRIVATE beach!!! I cant stop recommending this place to everyone, this is a great stay! Will be coming back soon!!!

We really enjoyed this place, and appreciated the added child safety of the it being completely fenced in, as well as the convenience of games and beach toys being provided. The Gilchrist beach is much less crowded than Crystal Beach, but this location is not quite as good as the house we usually stay in about a mile closer to Crystal Beach. This house is very close to the water, but the beach access was a little difficult, considering the sand dunes and built up shell and seaweed area in front of the dunes. When tide is in, theres very little beach, as some cars and golf carts go by occasionally, so you have to leave a narrow path for them. Also, the beach is covered with broken shells, so you really need to wear shoes on the beach and in the water. Also, I wasn't a fan of the beds, as they were not firm enough for us, but rather were so soft that you sunk into the mattresses some. The kitchen had nice appliances, and was well supplied, other than only having a few plastic drinking glasses, and 2 stemless plastic wine glasses. Another positive was how quickly the owner answered our questions. Be aware that the house sways a little at times, but this didnt really bother us.
