Family Friendly We had a wonderful stay at Big Red! The layout of the home is conducive to having functional family time, the kitchen is well stocked for cooking, plenty of showers, fire-pit was great, and screened porch made for a useful extra space. Any needs we had were addressed, communication with owner was great.

Perfect for 3 Families We have been traveling to Beachwalk for years. This was our first time renting at Big Red. The space was perfect for our 3 families (14 people) with kids ranging from 7-14. It was conveniently located right next to the park. We had some minor inconveniences pop-up after arrival (light bulbs, batteries, low tire issue on the golf cart). The host was prompt to respond and assisted with correcting the concerns and even offered us to stay an extra day for the inconvenience. Although we weren’t able to stay, we were able to make our checkout a little later which was a wonderful option. Thank you JR & Theresa for hosting us.

Great place for families We had a great week staying at Big Red. Plenty of room for large families (12 in our group ranging in age 1-67) to share meals, cook, play games or just hangout. Kitchen is very large, updated and well stocked. The owner was close by and very quick to respond when asked a question. Lots to offer for all ages.

A good time was had by all. The property suited our family admirably. The large kitchen/living room we used a great deal and it was very comfortable. The kids enjoyed the games available in the game chest.
