Beach Gangsta's Paradise, fire pit, cowboy pool, pool table

Everything's cool about this older home. Great location and a very beachy feel, we loved our stay!

We really enjoyed our stay. Communication with the property manager was very good. House was very clean and had all the amenities you would expect. Short walk to the beach. Plenty of space for large families (we had two families). I would suggest maybe purchasing a larger dining table, but otherwise nothing negative to say!

Enjoyed our stay and was a nice place… as advertised and no complaints

Our multi-generation family's stay was good. There were minor problems associated with old homes that the property management company quickly addressed. The couch in the basement/1st floor stunk like pot, but we came prepared with Odo-ban, which helped a lot. The overall cleanliness of the house, furniture & sheets was good. The house was recently renovated to include walk-in showers (towel bars/hooks would be a handy addition) on all 3 floors & an updated kitchen on the 2nd floor. The house was originally built in the 1930’s & the old-house character led to many conversations about it’s history. The old sleeping porches (essential to surviving sub-tropical nights before central air conditioning) have been enclosed & showcase the original siding. If you look carefully from the yard, you will notice slight texture differences in the siding, which are fascinating details for those who love old houses. The 1st floor bedrooms are likely blissfully cool in the summer, however they do not have any direct heat during occasional Florida cold weather periods (like during our stay). If you love to snuggle under blankets, these 2 rooms are for you. This property might not be the best choice if your group includes mobility-challenged people, as you have to climb stairs to get to the 2nd floor living & bedroom spaces. The last 2 bedrooms/bathrooms are on the 3rd floor. A SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch happened while we were there...great views from the front deck. Overall, a great vacation.

I stayed at River Ridge Estates with my 17 yr. old son, 4 of his friends and 4 other parents. Overall our stay was fantastic! The house was clean and had everything we needed. When they were not at the beach, the boys mostly stayed down in the basement playing pool and hanging out... reminded me of a frat house down there! My only criticism (minor) is that the house looks better in the online pictures than in person. It is an older house that looks new in the pics. Having said that, we would definitely stay there again, and I don't think the owners are deceiving the public they just had a really good photographer!😜
