The rental was supplied with everything we would need. It was clean and looked like new. We had an awesome time and were close to good restaurants, shops, the beach and a lot of the small towns. I hope we can get back one day. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this VRBO highly!

Thanks for the review. We can't wait to have you back!
We had a great stay, and the atmosphere was perfect for our summer beach getaway. Sunsets were gorgeous. We definitely appreciated the proximity to the beach access, and being close to the lake as well. We took advantage of the onsite beach chairs and body boards, though missed the beach cart. Well equipped kitchen when it came to the essentials and very clean. Would stay here again!

Thank you for your review. We are so glad you had a great vacation and we can't wait for you to come back soon!
First, this place was PERFECT for our trip. Amazing location, the pool right next door was not too loud, and waking distance to beach was great. However, public access beaches are VERY limited on space, and the locals are adamant you stay off "their sand". We had a minor run-in, but were not in the wrong, so it didn't amount to anything, but it was inconvenient and crammed in the very limited public access areas.

Thanks so much for the review. We are sho happy that our place was perfect for your trip. Good thing about the beach access at this home is there are 4 different accesses within a 10 minute walk and 3 of those provide a large public access so you have lots of space. There is one that doesn't have much space. We hope you choose us for your next beach escape.
The house is beautifully decorated. In a great area. We loved that the pool was next to the house! Great communication when we needed anything. Great price per night. We would definitely stay again.

Excellent location. The property management was great to work with. The house had everything we needed. The kitchen layout is a little weird making it extremely difficult to reach plates, bowls, and cookware but we managed. Overall, we would definitely stay here again.

We had a great time at the Wave Whisperer for our fantasy football draft. The house is perfect for a large group and the property manager is always available to help.

James, thanks for staying with us and we're so glad y'all enjoyed your stay! We're always happy to help guests and respond to any questions or concerns. Good luck in fantasy this season and we hope to host you again!
We enjoyed our stay & location. I think the house would be much improved by providing a “comfortable “ sitting area downstairs

I highly recommend this house. We had a large group and it was perfect for all of us. Beach access was wonderful and the kids enjoyed the heated pool. The golf cart that we rented was a big hit with our grandchildren. Plenty of places to walk your dog and any questions we had was answered promptly. One of our most enjoyable stays!

Thanks for the great review! We've even had renovations since your stay. Please come back and check it out again sometime!
Loved the location of the property! My kids loved having the pool right by the house. The house is really cute and the decor was perfect. The only complaint was the house smelled musty when we checked in. We loved having the golf cart as well. Great rental and we will be back!

Sarah,
Thank you for taking the time to share this 5 star review! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and the location of Wave Whisperer! Thank you for staying with us and we hope to have you back!
This cute beach home looks just like the pictures. There was plenty of room for our 4 kids ages 12-16 and 4 adults. Beach access is very convenient...right across the street. We loved having the pool right outside. The house was clean, both kitchens were well stocked, beds were comfortable and towels were plush. We would definitely come back!

Thanks so much for taking the time to review our property! We hope to have you back in the near future.
Four adult women went to the 30A Songwriters Festival and this was a great place for us to stay. It was great for each lady to have a bedroom and private bath. The downstairs kitchen was where we gathered and ate (though there was an upstairs kitchen too…!).
The house was clean and well-equipped.
The view of Oyster Lake was lovely.
Will definitely consider for a future trip.
Thanks!!

There's no golf cart nor a private pool advertised. This is a community pool for the neighborhood, but the pool is directly next door to the home. The iron was requested late in the evening and I brought it by the next morning. We hope beyond this you did enjoy your stay.
The house was exactly what was described. It was very comfortable and felt homey. The beds were comfortable. One of the showers on the second floor has the issue of water coming out in the bathroom that we were drying after each shower. My only disappointment was the condition of backyard. The patio set was very old and cushions were moldy. We were planning to use the BBQ but we never did as it was not really necessary ce to sit back there.

Thanks so much for the review. We will definitely get the cushions on the back deck cleaned or replaced. Thanks for staying with us and we'd love to have you back!
Great location and house is as advertised. Close to pool and fun fish watching in the next door lake. The upper deck is perfect at night and absolutely stunning sunsets. Only issue is the beach access across the street is EXTREMELY limited with security guards huddling everyone is a very small area of the beach while the rest is marked private. The public beach is fairly far with an infant and crowded. The private beach guards really ruined a lot of vacation for people in all the houses around us. It does list this in the details but 2 yrs ago we stayed nearby with no issues so it was a surprise. Totally not the owners fault but a huge drawback for family’s just wanting beach time.

Girls trip 2022 - NOT a GULF view
This is NOT a Gulf view property. We spend a week at the beach every year and had to find a larger place this year. The house is big enough to house ten people.. The upstairs furniture (couch) was super comfy and there is ample seating downstairs for dining. Both king sized beds were comfy and the bunks were as well considering it was a bunk bed. The downstairs queen support slats are missing and the mattress falls through to the floor. We did have to launder the linen upon check in due to remaining sand in the bunk beds. The house is bright and decorated nicely.
Beware of the camera located at the front door. It is positioned just above the shaded glass and can see in the unit. They also automatically adjust the thermostat during the day.
We rented the golf cart and IF you plan to stay right there it might be worth it but otherwise save your money. The beach access is across the street and we just set things up early for the day. It is very SMALL and if you aren't the early bird you will have to go to the public access down the street.

Thanks for taking time to review your stay at Wave Whisperer. You definitely have views of the Gulf from the second floor. The owner has been doing several renovations projects lately and new furniture was one of the upgrades made so I'm very happy to hear that it is comfortable. I'm sorry to hear about the linens on the bunks. We are available 24/7 and would have brought new linens immediately. We do not control the thermostats. It is possible that previous guest set the thermostat to a schedule which can easily be removed. The camera is on the front porch outside of the home and cannot see inside the home.
house is absolutely beautiful and in a great location to enjoy the beach and all the shops/restaurants in the area. Alexandra was super helpful with everything we needed. we had a great time!
