Amazing location and perfect layout for multiple parties!

I rented this house to celebrate my 50th birthday with my two teenagers, my sister and her family and my parents. I grew up in the area very nearby and we’re so happy to come home with everyone! The space is perfect for multiple groups. My parents and sister had their own space as did I with the kids, which was perfect. There were so many beach toys and chairs available to us which was a lovely bonus! Things we likely would’ve had to purchase for staying a week, but we wouldn’t need to use again so it’s very nice not to have to buy and transport.

Great place on the beach

The house is very spacious and accommodated our large group well. We rented the entire unit and it worked out great. The backyard is very private and a short walk down a path to the beach. The views from the house are gorgeous. We would definitely recommend this place for a large family.

4 generations beach trip

Property was as advertised. Spacious, clean, comfortable, direct beach access. Mattresses could use a refresh, but overall a great experience. The covered carport was great feature on rainy days. Beach was very close, plentry of parking for the 3 families and covered carpot was a plus for rainy days

Florida family fun in the sun.

We loved having everything we needed for a fun family vacation on the beach. The house was perfect for our family. We loved that there were chairs and beach equipment in the storage closet. The house was well appointed with all the basic items necessary for our family. We loved our stay in this home.

Vacation with Family!

The house was very clean! Had everything that you could think of. The view from the deck was beautiful! As a lg family, we never felt like we were on top of each other. We did rent the whole house. The only down thing was a musty smell in one of the apartments downstairs.

All of us were comfortable in this house. It served our purpose nicely. Was here 3 yrs ago and was happy to see the carpet gone and like the redo in the kitchen. Not so happy to see the upstairs porch stairs gone because that gives the unit only one egress in emergency.

Beautiful view

The house worked great in accommodating our family group of 14. The view was amazing. The balcony is in process of being repaired so the stair access was gone and the cleaning could have been a little better. The manager Marnie was great and very responsive. I would definitely love to go here again!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Upon arriving we immediately realized that we had landed an ideal location ... however as the week wore on and we came together from the 3 units we rented ... ea person compared notes and realized we were in agreement that the beds were most uncomfortable, one couple even fell through in the night several times due to the short slats.... The bed linens were not clean and the place was basically rundown... a lot of work should be done for the price . Overall we definitely enjoyed the location and could tell it had been loved in as a home at some point but it had obviously been taken over by a company and needs some tlc.

Not worth the price!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place is NOT being kept up. The deck is rotten and scary, they took the steps out that goes from main unit to beach access instead of fixing. The kitchen cabinets are broken, sliding doors were FILTHY at check in. I had to clean them myself. You can’t see the beach because of the HUGE tree in the way. The walking path has nails sticking up & my sister got hurt. No sheets at all for the pull out sofa bed. Furniture was AWFUL, so uncomfortable. We even had family come over for the day and they said it was terrible. This should be someone’s last resort. Rent something else if you can. This was not worth the enormous price.

Mice mice mice

I would like to start this review off with honesty and positivity, the location of this place was perfect along the with the nightly sunsets . The nearby restaurants were great . Upon arrival we encountered several things wrong with rental . The sheets had blood stains on them , that being said the beds were so uncomfortable and made so much noise it was hard to get any rest . The downstairs units smelled like mold , the bathroom in unit B had fecal matter on the shower curtain we had to buy liners at dollar general. The worst part about this place was the kitchen , they clearly are aware of having a rodent problem based on every surface having mouse poop, glue traps , and rat poisoning thrown everywhere . This was absolutely absurd for the amount of money we’ve paid for this rental. At 3 am my youngest daughter and I heard the mice eating our food and running along the countertops , one had fallen into the trap ,it was such a terrible scene listening to him squeak in pain . This is our 10th year to the island and we were all so disappointed. We strongly encourage the owner to do some major repairs/ upgrades to this place , it has the potential to be beautiful.

Great location, but...

I will start with the positives... Overall our stay was good. The rental property is located in a great area. There were a few restaurants and a convenience store all within a short walk from the place. The beach was quiet and clean, and the water temp was swimmable. The 3 units having separate entrances worked out well for us, as we had multiple families staying at the house. They also have K-cup machines in each unit, which was a plus. The top floor was a nice place to entertain, with a great view of the beach. The sunsets were amazing! Now the negatives... Our biggest disappointment was the beach closing. During our last few days, we could not access the beach behind the house. It was closed down completely! We woke up to heavy machinery and trucks bringing sand in. Apparently, they had a planned restoration project in the works due to hurricane damage. Of course, we had no advance notice. If we did, we would have changed the date or moved to a less expensive rental across the road. We called the property management company and they said they had no idea either (I'm skeptical)... based on a quick web search, the project had been known to locals for months. They did give us a $205 gift card credit, but in my opinion, it was not enough. I think 1/2 off for those days would have been more fair. Lastly, we saw a few rats crawling around out behind the house, but thankfully nothing inside! Overall we had a good stay despite the negatives.

Great place at a quiet beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Needed a place to sleep 14 people of varying age and mobility. Was nice have two ground floor units for those with trouble negotiating stairs. Would have been perfect if you could have walked right to the water directly from the back yard. There was not protected access over the dunes so we had to go around.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It's located directly on the beach. Hungry? Gotta go to the bathroom? No worries, your vacation home sits on the beach! I went with my family; mom and sisters and their better halves. Plenty of space for 9 of us. Great kitchen accessories for cooking (we did very little). The lack of stairs on the front deck did not bother us (some have mentioned). Plenty of parking for groups. The photo of the beach closet is a little misleading...doesn't look that nice (but it is a rental). However we brought beach chairs and a neso canopy. There are great loungers on the decks facing the ocean. Hopefully, they replace some lightbulbs.

Every thing was neat and clean...two apartments below were great and just fit our guests...were in town for a wedding. I'm sure when the steps to the deck are finished it will be even better. Enjoyed our stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Received a call around 4 pm from your staff asking when we would be arriving. The house had not been cleaned yet. I stated around 7pm. We arrived at 7 pm and were not allowed into any of the units due to housekeeping still being there. Finally went in unit A at 8. The other 2 units were not ready until 9:30pm. We were all tired from a 10 hour drive and were expecting to be able to walk right in. The unit were clean. The bed sheets do not fit any of the beds. The stairs leading out of top unit need replacing. They move when you walk on them. Very disappointed in the fact the house wasn’t clean upon our arrival being that it states check in is at 4pm. I do feel there should be some sort of refund for at least 1 night stay.
