Wonderful Thanksgiving

Heated pool wasn’t working upon arrival but owner took care of it. Stove is a little tricky and hot water took a while. But other than that we enjoyed the house. Golf cart was great. Beach is great. Overall great week.

Fun in the sun!

Our group of ladies had a fun stay at Buddy’s Bungalow. It’s not for the faint of heart because of all the stairs, but the location is good. The golf cart makes getting to the beach easy and it’s fun to toodle around the island.

Great house and location

This home is very spacious with a well equipped kitchen. We love the location and its proximity to the beach as well as restaurants. We enjoy the pool after a day at the beach. There is an outdoor shower to clean the sand off. For more restaurants and shopping, I recommend visiting Appalachicola.
