We had a lovely time staying in James’s home! Check-in was easy and a smooth process. The house was beautiful and incredibly clean. The house is in a perfect location, just walking distance to the beach and a quick drive to several restaurants. The house has a lot of space for large groups and the outside amenities really made it worth it! We had so much fun staying here and would definitely come back in the future ☻

Had a great time. Plenty of space. The downstairs bar area was a plus. The boys loved the pickleball and basketball court. We’ll be back!

Great House and amazing hosts! The whole family and dogs had a blast spending the days and nights in the yard. Was the perfect house for us to book for this trip. James was awesome and very helpful with anything we asked.

Had a great stay! James was a great host, very timely on communication. Great location near a grocery store and close to the water. The house was really accommodating for all the guests. Would stay again!

What a great time we had at the Pickle Beach house. The home was clean and there was plenty of room for our family of 13. James was a great host. Our family enjoyed the pickle ball and the game room was a hit with the kiddos.
