Quick Trip

This was a lovely property. Only complaint is that the third person in our group who sometimes has trouble sleeping could not sleep on the pull out sofa. And the couch is too short to sleep on. Otherwise, it was lovely.

However we did enjoy spending our days at the beach.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was really lovely! The only trouble was we couldn’t get the light to work in the living room lights to come on or the sound on the TV. And also, we couldn’t open the outside garbage can due to whatever lock for the bears. But I would definitely rebook there.

Nice but need golf cart- impossible parking.

The property management company was on top of it and good with communication. My main concern was the lack of willingness from the Owner to allow us a golf cart. We were willing to pay for it but they wouldn't allow it. It's very crowded now on 30A and not conducive to driving and if you have a small child, too tiring to bike everywhere. We could not stay here again for the simple fact that they will not allow golf carts.

Great little guest house

We enjoyed our stay in the cute little guest house behind the main house. It was efficient but comfortable. The good: Cute gated neighborhood Updated home Washer/dryer in unit About a 20 min walk from beach access and cute ice cream shop. Nice and cool, even with the AC set at 75. Tv with roku so you can sign in with your own accounts. The not as good/worth noting: Shower had mold and mildew, mostly on the inside under the door on tile. It seemed like someone just didn't carefully clean the shower, but still it felt a little icky. The bar top table was super wobbly, to the point where we felt like we were going to knock the table over just trying to sit and eat. A countertop height table with stools would work better and then you could also use the stools as side tables for the couch when you're on the couch. No dishwasher. This was fine for us but worth noting if it's a deal breaker for others. All in all a good little place to stay

Excellent stay. Love this place. I thought I would miss a stove but the place is so nice, it’s easy to overlook. So private and exactly what I needed for a quick getaway. The private beach access was terrific but a long walk. Definitely will be back.

Awesome Mom

This cottage is well appointed. The bedroom and master bath are excellent. The main living area is nice but very small. The sofa is very comfortable so this is okay for a couple who want to eat out for all meals. The major downside for us is that the only way to get to their private lives beach was a very long walk on a boardwalk and crossing 30-A. If you stay here bring your own beach chairs and umbrella so you can drive to a public beach.

Girls Spring Break Trip

My daughter, her friend and I had the luck to stay at Coco's Place recently. The property was beautiful but we did have a few issues. It started off by not being given the lockbox code on our welcome email. After I left two phone messages, I finally sent a text and received the code after an hour and a half. When we went to bed the first night, the girls were on the pull out couch. Found the sheets but no blankets were left for the bed. The girls had to use towels for blankets that first night and the next day a blanket was delivered after a phone call. Probably the biggest issue we faced was the internet. It is something that we take for granted and turned out to be quite the obstacle. I was never able to get my computer online the entire 5 days we were there. My hot spot also did not work or help in Coco's Place. With some work I needed to complete, I was able to get online by the pool area. Also, the smart tv was so glitchy that the majority of time, it did not work. The upstairs tv was nice but we were never able to get any connection. While we enjoyed our stay, it would have been an even more enjoyable experience with a couple of these issues addressed.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Almost don’t want to share because I don’t want this spot being too popular. Perfect spot for just the 2 of us. Blue Swell was very helpful with details and responsive to texts. The beach access boardwalk was a little long but beautiful. The beach umbrella and chairs was a very pleasant surprise. We’ll be back.

Fantastic

Overall the stay was awesome! The only complaint we had was the gate codes for all the common access areas were newly changed. We were not told about this. We really enjoyed our stay. It was a nice and clean house. The pools around the property were well maintained. Beach walk took us about 10 minutes but we had a 6 and 2 year old.

Nice location not the best privacy

Rating Details: The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cottage was fine Nice neighborhood We enjoyed the stay however to be honest the privacy was lacking there is no door on the master bedroom so it's not really a one bedroom accommodation The noise travels like you're sleeping next to the living room , Wi-Fi had problems didn't always work, and the downstairs gets cold while the upstairs gets hot, props in summertime that's not an issue, there is no hot plate or anything for cooking even though it claims to have a kitchen

Disappointing

Except for the two issues of no television service and no heat in the living area, we had an okay time. The rental was clean, the bed mattress was excellent and the location was very good to get to the beach. Because of the strong winds we had, I would suggest that the tree branches be cut back from the building. Also for future renters it would be a great idea to give written instructions to use the tv when it gets fixed. We did not use the dishwasher or the microwave so I don’t know how they work.
