Thank you for your kind words. I hope you were able to also check out the hiking trails or cruse around on the golf cart. Call soon and secure your next vacation.
The house was beautiful and the golf cart and community pool were so nice to use. Easy communication and wonderful community helped make our stay that much better. Would return again.
The property and location were amazing. Even more so for traveling as a family of four with smaller kids. The golf cart added so much to the stay. Having the convenience of being minutes from the beach that is accessible via golf cart was a great experience. Definitely would book this property again.
The house was everything it said it was in the description. The kids loved the pool and the amenities, the house had to offer. Just a few minutes from the beach that was a breeze since we had the golf cart that fit the 6 of us. The communication was great betweeen myself and the office. They got back to us right away. Definitely would stay again

Thank you. We love hosting families just like yours. I am so happy you enjoyed your stay with us. This is such a great time of year, and the beaches are just amazing. I hope you come visit our home again. I hope you were also able to visit the club house in the neighborhood. They have a great hot tub over there as well. We loved talking to you!!!
Beautiful home and close to the beach! A lot of properties try to fool you with how close they actually are to the beach but this house was right where it said it was. We enjoyed staying here for the week. Our only complaints were the floors were dirty upon arrival, a lot of wasp nests (5) in the front entryway, and the pool was a little small but definitely still fun!

Thank you so much for letting us know. When you called we understood your concern of it not being cool enough. 69 degrees is the coolest temperature set for this home. I do hope you are able to come and visit with us again.
Pros: Location was fantastic. Golf cart was a must and will now want with any future rental. House had a good layout. Was able to add an extra night at last minute.
Cons: AC was asked to only turn down to 71. We waited until bedtime to turn down, but it was warm. Pool was small, but perfect. Only issue is there was a lot of sand in there before us.
Great property - close to beach access as described, great back patio/pool. Clubhouse and community pool/courts/fitness were all excellent. Property was clean, easy technology access and super relaxing.
Only issues were that golf cart was not functional, which wasn't brought up until a few days before arrival which meant scrambling and paying more to rent a golf cart, and the microwave didn't work (we didn't reach out to have it fixed).
One other location note - the house behind is under construction, so some workers/noise during the day, but not an issue.
Loved our stay - thanks!
The property was mostly great. It had everything we needed, great location and was clean. The only issue was the master bedroom bed. The mattress was memory foam and uncomfortable and made noise everytime you moved. Also, the sheets were too small and wouldn't stay on, so I bought new sheets after our second night. The golf cart pulled badly to one side which we reported, so hopefully is fixed now. The bed situation is why I gave a 4 for overall, otherwise everything was good.

Thank you. It was such a pleasure hosting you. I wish you would have contacted us while you were here about the sheets. I would have been happy to run another set right over. We have not had a problem in the past. The other maintenance issue has already been addressed. I do hope you give us the opportunity to give you the 5-star service you deserve. See you next time.
Great home and very clean. Our family of 7 had an excellent vacation stay. Lots to do in the area for all ages. Only negative would be no knowing about the bracelets or what they are for until I got an email saying they all needed to be returned or replacement fee is $100 per bracelet. Thankfully none were lost. Also a box of tissues for the home would be nice. Otherwise everything you could need is already there.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Nice, but lots of problems
The house was in a great location. The grill didn’t work properly, but maintenance came and it was better the next time. The pool is in desperate need of cleaning. The golf cart would not hold a charge and the tires were completely worn and had to be replaced. Very irritating stay, but again, the location was wonderful.

Hi Tina,
Thank you for your review. We did send out pool providers before and during your stay to assure the pool was in good condition. We did check the grill and did not find anything wrong with it and do apologize if you had any issues. We also apologize for any golf cart issues, once we were informed, we did get a golf cart tech out there asap and compensated you for the trouble. We do hope the rest of your stay was enjoyable.
This house is absolutely perfect for a family with young children / toddlers. Some features that really made our stay easier include the toddler beds in the walk-in closet attached to the master bedroom and deadbolts at adult height to the pool area to keep the kids safe. The house also came equipped with a pack n play, baby gate, beach chairs, and beach toys.The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and about a 4 minute golf cart ride from the beach.The house and pool were also very clean upon arrival. The pool was the perfect size for our family.The property management is also great. The toaster at the home was not working, so I sent them an email. They had a new toaster brought by that day! We also had one small maintenance issue come up with the pool and they were very responsive to that as well.We are already talking about the next time we can come stay!

Thank you, Taylor. We’re glad to hear that our home had everything your family needed for a comfortable stay. It’s great that you enjoyed the pool and found the neighborhood to be safe and convenient. We appreciate your feedback on the maintenance and are always here to ensure your experience is seamless. I hope you enjoyed the Gulfarium as well. We look forward to your next visit!
The house was very clean and spacious. The kitchen was very well stocked with all the amenities we needed. The beds and furniture were also all very comfortable.
We really enjoyed the gated neighborhood. Perfectly located between two popular beach access areas. The golf cart was an awesome way to get to the beach and a couple of the nearby restaurants, or to just take rides around the neighborhood.
We paid the additional fee for pool heat, and it was an excellent 90 degrees for our entire stay. Every evening ended with a couple hours of relaxation in the pool area.
Communication with the agency was excellent... always talked to a friendly person on the first call. Would definitely recommend this house.

Hey Jeff,
Glad you guys had fun! Look forward to seeing you next time!
The property was fantastic. Just what our family needed for a stay with littles. Doors lock and unlock easily, back patio is contained and easy to get in and out of the small pool.
The property was very clean, but I knocked off one star because we went to use the grill and it was clear it had not been cleaned in many uses. The grease pan was full. Since the guidelines mention a fee for the grill not being clean, we expected it would be taken care of by the time we went to use it. Overall though, this is a very small issue in a really great stay! Would use this company again.

Hi Sarah,
Thanks so much for the great review! We are so glad you had a wonderful stay and enjoyed your time here! We will make sure anything with the grill is taking care of, thank you for your review!
House was great, and location was also great! The issue we had is the hot tub was not working and one of the gated community pools were closed. We were told there were 2 pools, and a hot tub. When we asked the guy at the poolhouse , he said the hot tub has been broken for over a year. Disappointing!
The place was well stocked with everything you could need in the kitchen. My kids absolutely loved all of the toys and games in their little room (walk in closet off the master bedroom). Their beds had their favorite animals on them- unicorns and dinosaurs. We had an issue with the pool being murky after the first few days- I emailed and they came out the same day and the pool was back to being perfect. They also responded the same day for something else. The neighborhood is absolutely beautiful to take walks in. We also loved driving on the golf cart everywhere. We will be back!

Thank you for your feedback. Sorry for the issues you did encounter. We do our best to address all concerns asap. Happy to hear you and the kids enjoyed your stay and plan to come back. We hope to host you again soon.
Location was great, the staff who helped were flexible and great, house was pretty amazing.
Only things I would note is that the pool is only covered by mosquito net not glass. House did not come with basic stocked supplies like TP, paper towels, trash bags etc. The store doesn’t sell bags in a box of 7. Either the rest of the supplies go in the trash or they hoard them themselves. No beach towels provided either.

Thank you for your feedback on your stay. Emerald Coast Vacation Rentals are stocked with many of the comforts of home, including bedding and kitchen essentials such as dishware and utensils, there are a few more items you will want to pack. Upon arriving for your vacation, you will find your rental has been stocked with an initial supply of toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap and trash bags. These should get you through your first 24 hours, but you will want to pick up additional supplies to get you through the remainder of your stay. Sorry no beach towels are provided. We hope you enjoyed your stay and will consider stay will us at this property again.
