Here, every detail is designed for effortless living by the shore.
Inside, warm wood tones, curated coastal décor, and soft, sun-washed textures create a sense of nostalgic elegance. The showpiece Primary King Suite spans the 2nd floor with two private ensuite baths (no sharing required), a spacious Gulf-facing balcony, and a charming daybed swing to relax away the afternoons.

Five beautifully appointed suites—three with king beds and two bunk suites—offer space for up to 18 guests, blending comfort with coastal character. After a sun-kissed day, enjoy the Seaside lifestyle at your doorstep: stroll to Bud & Alley’s in a minute, browse boutique shops, or take in a concert on the green.

Just 5 adult family members for a few days before Christmas, super relaxing and perfect location. The only very minor surprises were construction 2 doors down toward the village center and a shopper parked behind us blocking us in for about 20 minutes. Security responded quickly and the shopper returned before the tow truck arrived.

Great location, definitely needs a lot of repairs but we had a great vacation anyway. Would have loved to utilize the great outdoor space but it was very run down and unsafe for young children. The A/C didn’t work well on two top levels and faucets in the kitchen were not useable. Just needs a little TLC for the price point.

Property location is top notch and view from back deck was amazing. Had some issues with A/C on top floor and certain appliances that were not working properly. Property manager was prompt to respond and tried their best to fix the problems.

The house was beautiful and the location was amazing. I found it strange that I spend $Thirty Thousand Dollars and I get a sample size dish soap in the kitchen. Two or three pods for the dishwasher. Soap in the bathrooms is barely a cheap brand of bar soap….just felt like I spent good money for a great home and got Motel 6 amenities

Reviewer Comments:
Location was perfect - easy short walk to beach access and the square. The view from the top floor cannot be beat. It was wonderful to have two different porches to relax on. Instructions from property management were thorough and clear. We even used some of the recommended concierge services to make our vacation supremely relaxing.
This house was great for several reasons! Easy access to the beach (almost like you have your own private access at your house - just one house between you and a gate code to the stairs) and easy walking distance into “town” with all the shops and restaurants made is very simple with kids and adults all on different schedules coming and going as they please. The house itself is beautiful, clean and has great views of the beach and sunset. The property management was quick to respond to any questions and came on site almost immediately when we alerted them about a door and window issue to resolve it. We absolutely recommend this house to couples, friends and families!

Very nice house. However, very skimpy on towels. and wash rags. The ice maker in freezer barely makes ice and ice maker on porch didn’t work at all. Would rent it again but wish we could have had better communication with management to ask questions and request repairs.

I'm glad you enjoyed the home and I'm sorry to hear there were some areas that were lacking for you! We do our best to address any concerns brought up to us as quickly as possible. Both icemakers are working great now and we'd love to have you back again!
This is a nice place to rent because of its location on the beach. I believe it has a new owner, so there are some changes that are taking place that are needed (updating). I didn't give it five stars because I felt that for the large amount of money I paid for Labor Day weekend that the managing company could of been more relaxed on the instructions that were given. They were pretty harsh and demanding which was not needed, and made the "relaxing" weekend not so relaxing.

Stacy,
Ugh! I so hate you thought our instructions were harsh! We don't mean to be at all. I hope you'll come back to visit us! We are actually just a bunch of really nice girls!
Hooks in main entrance were not load bearing for towels. Freezer did not work and was not disclosed prior to stay. Ice maker out side did not work. Light in main room flickered. Electrical issue. Everything else was fantastic. Great house for group. Need to fix or disclose the problem with the freezer.

The home is magnificent with amazing views throughout. You can't beat waking up with the beach in your backyard. I promised my wife she wouldn't have to lift a finger on this vacation, so I hired a private chef who handled the shopping and cooking. We enjoyed a peaceful breakfast on the porch off of the master bedroom every morning. The porch off of the living room was our lunch spot during the mid-day sun. We took a sunset walk on the beach every night and walked to the square for drinks or ice cream whenever we wanted. We didn't do much but our days was full. First class vacation all the way.

The house was lovely. The porch view was the best part - right on the water. Many issues with the electricity. No air conditioners worked on the botton floor. No lights either. The young girls downstairs had to get ready next to workmen trying to fix all the problems. This took them 3 days. And we had to leave the 4th day!

Response from VrboOwner on 28 May 2022
Thank you for the feedback, Maria. We understand that the electricity issue was a huge inconvenience and credited your account accordingly. We hope to have you back at Beluga now that the electricity issue has been rectified.
Everything was good except refrigerator on balcony beeps due to sensor on blink. Maintenance couldn’t repair do we turned it off. The grill on balcony doesn’t work. The most troublesome part of stay was due to the fact we couldn’t have chairs in front of house at first and we were on the back row. To pay this much for the house you should have a deal priority arrangement with Cabana Man. Also, you should trim palm bushes in driveway as it is difficult getting in and out of cars and loading. Also hard to put garbage out due to over grown bushes. It would be nice to provide more towels.

Hey Rick, thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that had a nice stay. We apologize for the refrigerator and grill issues and will work on resolving them. Your suggestions about beach chairs, driveway maintenance, and providing more towels are appreciated, and we'll take them into account for improvement.
Obviously, the location is fantastic and the views were incredible. But the house has some major deferred maintenance. The main porch had extreme wood rot on the railings, cushions were dingy, the outdoor beverage refrigerators didn't work, the grill didn't work and was rusted over etc. etc. For two days, two of the downstairs bathrooms didn't have functioning lights which was a major problem. We tried the breakers but nothing was tripped so maintenance had to come each time. The floors in the basement are very warped and seem like there had been water damage which resulted in mold on the ceiling. When we got there, maintenance was there replacing the kitchen faucet and something else in the bathroom but the kitchen faucet then didn't work correctly. Overall, we had a great time but for the cost of the house we would've expected it to be in better condition.
