Fun Family Vacation

Reviewed on 2026-07-28 by Patrick Family , Fairfield, AL United States

Big Tuna was ready on our arrival. Very neat and clean. Our family enjoy the house overall. It was roomy, enough space for all 11 of us, great grandson, teenager grandchildren and adults. It had all the necessary amenities, the kitchen had all the supplies to prepare food. It has spaces for when you wanted to be together or if you wanted along time. It was around the corner from the pool. We appreciated the beach umbrella and supplies. I would recommend it to others. The management was in communication to check on how our stay was going and to let us know that they available if we needed them and we appreciated that. We would recommend the property to others and we would use it again!

Manager's Response

Hello Patrick Family! We are so delighted to hear that you had such a good time while staying at Big Tuna and it was all that you could imagine and more! We hope to welcome you all back again soon!

The BEST place ever!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. The location was convenient and the space fit our family's needs well. We were traveling with 3 young kids so the bunkbeds were a great fit as well as the crib and highchair. However, there was a lack of some household amenities like trash bags and basic cleaning supplies (dishwasher pods, laundry detergent, etc.) It would have been nice to know this before hand so we could have planned ahead. The property was also not ready at 4:00 PM the day of check in. We had to wait 3 hours for our rental to be ready. That is a long wait with 3 young children.

Our family came down with our college students for spring break. The house was perfect. Plenty of room for our family, and big dining area and kitchen. The pool is lovely, heated, and had a hot tub. The shuttle service (during peak months & spring break) made getting back and forth to the beach so easy and pleasant, although walking was easy too. Property itself in very good condition, with everything in working order and clean. 10/10 would stay again.

Manager's Response

Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re so happy to hear that the house worked perfectly for your family and that everyone enjoyed the spacious dining area, kitchen, pool, and hot tub. It's great to know the shuttle service made getting to the beach easy, and that the property met your expectations for cleanliness and condition. We’d love to welcome you and your family back anytime—10/10, we’ll be ready!

Our family of 5 really enjoyed our Big Tuna stay. The house is in good shape with no major wear and tear issues and plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen has plenty of pots, pans, bowls, utensils for all of your cooking needs. You will need to make sure to bring a beach bag and towels but there is a beach cart with plenty of beach toys and 3 chairs to use as well. The pool is really fantastic and we often split our time between the pool and beach. The location was great, close to restaurants, the beach, and attractions. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

Manager's Response

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience at Big Tuna! We're delighted to hear that your family enjoyed the spaciousness, well-equipped kitchen, and convenient location. It's great to know you made the most of the pool and beach time. We look forward to welcoming you back for another fantastic stay in the future!
