This was our second year to stay in this house. It is a great size for our family and just a short walk to the beach. Highly recommend.

Alison, thank you so much for the 5 star review! This is a new property for our management program and for the owners, so your feedback means a lot to all of us. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay!
We had the best time! The house was great, very clean, and we enjoyed the pool being so close. It was only a five minute walk to the beach. I would book this house again.

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay! We would love to have you back anytime.
I was impressed with how clean and organized the property was. Everything that you needed was there. The beach wagon and chairs they provided was very useful. The property was a 5 minute walk to the beach. I would definitely stay there again.
This place is easy to get to, spacious and most of all CLEAN! I am a total clean freak and this place was awesome. There was plenty of space and the rooms were wonderful for the amount of guests in our party. There was a wagon provided that made taking our beach accessories easier and not a far walk to the public beach maybe about 10 minutes. Definitely would recommend this property and would rent it again in a heartbeat!

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and our condo! We would love to have you back anytime in the near future. Thanks so much for the raving review!
Great location, great space, nice extras (chairs, umbrellas, cooler and wagon for beach!), and space for a group of 9 that included 3 kids under 12! The walk to the beach wasn't bad at all either, and having a pool in the complex for the kids worked out nicely too. Parking is very tight though in the neighborhood and the condo's actual driveway, if you have more than one car. And it's especially tight for 2 extended cab pickup trucks. Overall, wonderful stay and would come back in a heartbeat!

AWESOME LOCATION to Oyster Lake, Dune Allen Beach, and Pool
Our family of 4, enjoyed our stay so very much! We rented kayaks and SUPs for the lake access to the beach! We enjoyed the community pool very much! We also rented a MOKE for riding around the Dune Allen Beach area! Would have played golf @Santa Rosa Beach Golf Club. but it was under renovation during our week long stay. We, instead, utilized other local, nearby courses.

Thank you for taking the time to review our property and share your experience with future guests. We would be so happy to accommodate another stay for you in the future. Thanks again!
The location of the property was very convenient to the beach, grocery stores and restaurants in the area. The home was clean and spacious enough for our family of nine. Our only issue was the dryer was not working when we arrived, which we were notified of the day before. It took a couple of days to get it fixed but we were offered laundry service.

Thanks so much for the review. We work hard to provide a clean property for each guest. I'm sorry the dryer had issues but glad we were able to get it fixed once the part came in. We would love to have you back anytime.
Our family trip to Santa Rosa Beach was great! This property slept our 6 family members perfectly! The beds are very comfortable and each bedroom has a TV and an ensuite bathroom! The house is spacious and furnished well. Everything felt new and fresh! The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed to enjoy our week! It was so nice to be able to walk to the beach in a few minutes. There was even a beach cart and a few chairs to use while we were there! While at the house we enjoyed the decks and comfy chairs and could enjoy views of Oyster Lake. There is a small community pool that we enjoyed as well. We would highly recommend this property and hope to rent it again in the future!

Kristen, thank you so much for this amazing 5 star review! We're thrilled that you enjoyed your stay and we appreciate you sharing your experience with us and potential future guests! The owners have taken great pride in recently purchasing this townhome and making it the best rental property it can be for everyone who stays there. We'll pass along your kind words to them, they'll be so excited to read that you had a great stay! We look forward to hosting you again in the future!
The house was the perfect size for our group. With two pull out couches we could have had even more. The location is great, within walking distance to the beach. The only thing missing was a golf cart which you can rent from a local company if you choose. I'd recommend this location.
