Knowing we'd be the first renters of this breathtaking beach home, we were a bit hesitant to book it without prior reviews or recommendations. But we could not have been more pleasantly surprised & happy with our choice! From the moment we pulled in we were just wowed by the stunning exterior and unbeatable location of this brand-spanking new gem in Gavelston Beach. Walking into the home was equally incredible - that feeling we all got when we first stepped in can only be described as blown away. The main floor is a gorgeous open-concept common area that took our breath away. Brand new furniture, appliances, and fixtures that looked like it was straight out of a magazine. The big beautiful dining table sat all 9 of us comfortably and we made incredible memories in the open-concept living/dining area. The bedrooms were equally stunning. Usually our family (my wife and I, two sons in their early 20s and one 9-year old) has to decide who gets the best bedroom, but here there were no arguments - each bedroom was equally spacious, beautifully appointed, and clean. Big screen TVs in each of the bedrooms (except one) were great, though we didn't want to waste any time in this incredible property watching TV!. We arrived shortly before our friends' family (two adults and two teenagers), and watching them go through the same "wow" experience was so satisfying. None of us have ever stayed in a rental this picture-perfect! They were also stunned to have walked into such a beautiful home and get assigned bedrooms that were this fantastic. Being a new rental, everything is brand spanking new, and whoever designed & decorated the home thought of everything and has a super eye for contemporary design and decor. It really looks like it should be featured in a magazine. It is perfect in every way. Breathtaking views from each of the two ocean-facing decks. plus a third deck facing the back for anyone wanting a bit of quiet away from the group. Jay was incredible and answered all of our inquiries immediately and was super helpful with any requests - being so new, for example there was no toaster, but within a couple hours of us pointing that out, one was dropped off at our door. We were concerned that a new rental wouldn't have all of the amenities we had absolutely everything we needed - utensils, bbq, beach towels & toys, new linens - the list goes on. This place is perfect in every way and just steps from the beach. Thanks Jay! We will definitely be back.
