Our place was amazing. The house and location were perfect. The house had plenty of room for our family. Walking to the beach was very convenient. Or if we wanted to stay at the pool it was great. The host had the house decorated to perfection. I highly staying at Knot a Basic Beach House.

Our family (eight adults, a toddler, and two infants just stayed at Knot a Beach House. It was a great vacation This property is much more of a home rented out than a rental property sometimes used by the owner. The rooms were good-sized, the beds comfortable, the place clean, the pool with the slide fun, and the rooftop large and offered an incredible view There were a few maintenance issues that had to be taken care of, but that's understandable and the crew handled then quickly. Representatives from the management company checked in repeatedly, both to follow up on the maintenance and to see how things were in general I don't give out stars easily but this stay was definitely worth five of them. Hope we can come back again some time

Spring Break in paradise
What a great vacation house! The best one we have ever rented. The pool and rooftop deck are just INCREDIBLY beautiful and well -suited for relaxing and enjoying the Florida sun. We had a mix of family and friends all staying and plenty of space to gather and hang out together, but also tons of room to ourselves, with every bedroom having its own bathroom. Perfection. Close to the beach, close to St. Armand's, and the restaurants and shops. Book this house! We loved our stay!
