Guest testimonials
8242 Breakers Blvd.
We enjoyed this gorgeous well-kept spacious beach front home. It was private, gated with well thought out accommodations, and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed the sunrise and sunsets on the private decks. Beachfront, with an amazing pool and hot tub. Gourmet kitchen for meals in, with everything needed for meals. The king beds in each room are super comfortable with each bedroom opening up to decks with views. Bunk room was cool too! This house has it all, so lovely and relaxing for a quiet time away. We will be back!
