Kelena's Grand Kabana with Private Resort Style Heated Pool

All around great option for a family! We loved the house and amenities provided. I cannot say enough about this rental from the cleanliness to the communication from the owner. We never needed anything throughout our stay but the owner still checked in several times just to make sure. The outdoor pool area is wonderful and a close walk to the beach. So happy we found this place and would definitely stay again.

Highly Recommended!

Our family of 14, 8 adults and 6 grandchildren, thoroughly enjoyed our week at Kelena's Grand Kabana. There was ample room for all to sleep and eat together. Our hosts, Kelen and Gary, were by far the best we have ever worked with via our annual planning, check in, and addressing any questions we had during the stay. The home is not only fully stocked with the essentials but also has so many additional special touches for the pool, beach, and indoor games for everyone to enjoy. We all commented that it was probably better equipped than our own homes. The beach access is very walkable as is the boat launch for sunset viewing on the river at the other end of the street. We enjoyed swimming, shelling, evening turtle watching, and walks along the beach in addition to afternoons and evenings in the outstanding pool. When we ventured away from the house, the grandkids had a great experience at Andretti's. We kayaked on Sebastain Inlet and caught fish both at the beach and on a fishing charter. With so much to do, our week felt as if it was only 2-3 days long. Kelen and Gary you have done it right and your attention to providing your guests with a great experience really shows through. Thanks for a great stay. John &amp; Carol

Annual Family Vacation

This property is fabulous. I had booked property a year prior that was right on the ocean, that's the only thing this place is missing, but it's a short five minute walk. We had a property booked on the ocean that cancelled on us 2 days before arrival. This host saved our vacation, they provided a beautiful place, last minute and thought of everything to have available. Totally would go back again. US, kids and grandkids all loved and was perfect for all!
