This house is amazing! There’s everything you need for your stay from kitchen items to towels and games. The view is stunning and having Thomas’ Donuts next door is the best!!

So thrilled to hear this! Please come back and see us again, Exclusive 30A
We found the house interior was well appointed, clean and comfortable. The decks both overlooked the beach and were amazing!We found the pool area full of debris and the chairs were stained and no cushions were available. The seating is not what was reflected in the images provided. The grill, old and dirty and in need of maintenance. We did contact management about the pool chairs and cushions and were told they would contact owners… we never heard back from them There was a tornado warning and gale force winds while we were there It would have been nice if there was information in the house for what to do in case of an emergency.Overall we had a great time, the beach is beautiful!
House is immaculate, all modern features, tons of space, and extremely easy access to the beach !!! Couldnt have asked for anything more, our entire family loved it (age ranged from 3yr to 80yrs old)

We are so happy to hear it - vacations are important! Exclusive 30A
Beautiful home with amazing beach views. One disadvantage is since the beach is public, you will likely see more people and may have less privacy compared to a rental with private beach access. Public beaches can become very crowded, especially during peak times, which can be noisy and busy.

Thank you so much for the feedback Miriam! We are glad you enjoyed the home. Yes, it was a busy week during your stay:) Exclusive 30A
We absolutely enjoyed our stay. Loved the location directly across the street from the beach. We didn’t use the pool; however, it looked clean and tidy.
We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent - so glad you had a wonderful stay! Hope you were able to get some donuts next door :) Exclusive 30A
This property was amazing. The location was convenient, just steps from the beach and walking distance to a grocery store. It's next door to Thomas Donuts which was delicious. Would definitely stay again.

Thank you so much, Karen. We loved hosting you, and we hope you come back soon!
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. It was everything you could ask for. The beach is across the street and you have views from all the front windows. Thomas Donuts and Snack Shop, and Thomas Pizza and Cream is next door so you can just walk next door and get donuts for breakfast and pizza for lunch. You also have your own private pool in the backyard.

Isn't it great? That end of the beach is wonderful as well. Come and see us again - Exclusive 30A
Absolutely Beautiful home with the most stunning views! The elevator was a blessing and our granddaughter enjoyed the heated pool and easy access to the beach! So much fun was had by all! Sad we had to leave but will definitely be back!
Beautiful house. Conveniently located to amenities and easy access to the beach. We loved the kitchen and it was stocked with plenty of cookware. The pellet ice machine was a plus!
It is surprisingly quite inside even though it’s directly on front beach road and next to the doughnut shop (which is a must try for doughnuts and ice cream).
