We usually rent condos at La Mirage, Sandcastle or Port Royal. Due to damage and limited rooms we decided to go with a beach house this summer. It was the best decision we ever made for our annual family trip. My parents, my husband and I, my sons and their wives, and my nieces all had our own room. We all got to hang out on the huge deck in the evening together, when we barbecued downstairs, the patio was big enough for all of us to hang out while my husband cooked in the yard area. They had a nice stereo system for us to listen to inside and outside on the deck. The bedrooms, living room and kitchen were nicely furnished, and the shower outside was a great way to get off all the beach sand before going into the house. The pool was 2 houses away and a good size and best of all, the beach was a 3-5 minute walk from the house! It was a fantastic experience and we will definitely rent the same house again!
