Beach house

We stayed here for 4 days 5 nights and we wish it was longer!! This house was absolutely perfect!! We had a baby with us and there no issues! We cooked breakfast, lunch and a few dinners and we had everything we needed!! The only thing was having to drive to the beach access points but it was worth it! We will definitely be returning this house!!

I contacted panhandle getaway several times via text with Tasha and she was wonderful. After I explained that the house did not have a regular coffee pot, she personally delivered keurig coffees for us to have the next morning. That is above and beyond my expectations and was appreciated!

Great location

Did not have complete instructions as to where to go on the outside of the house to put in the code to get in. There are a few items tgat need attention. Back porch door has the screen detached so that anyone could get onto the porch. Railing is loose on back stairs going to garage door keypad. Bottom front porch step broken. Range fan hood very dirty. Garage door on right side malfunctions when trying to open with opener.

Amazing place

We had the best time, it's close to so many places. Has 2 pools and as busy as the area is, it's quiet at night. The rental place just needs to work on having a book of how to operate the things in the house.......like the WIFI, the Moke (golf cart) and a way to get into the house. We spent an hour trying to get ahold of someone to get in......when we did, it was fantastic. The place is clean, beautiful, has screened in porches, we had coffee on the front porch every morning......so fabulous. I think we were the first to stay at this one, so for sure they need grace. I am sure once they iron out the details, it will be smooth sailing. Just a suggestion to the owners...I would make a binder of the things I mentioned above.......How to get onto the wifi with a passcode, how to use the moke (which by the way is the coolest), what stores are close by, restaurants.....things people who are not from there would appreciate. The house was great, and for sure we would stay here again!!!

Still waiting on my sweater

Overall, the house and location were exactly what we wanted. We loved having access to the golf cart and bikes as well. There was plenty of room for my family and the house was clean. There were some inconveniences during our stay like not having a coffee pot and one of the shades in the bunk room wouldn’t stay down. Also we kept having to reset the breaker in the garage to get the door down. Communication with Panhandle Getaway was good while we were in the house but since we’ve checked out I’ve had an issue of getting a hold of them. We left a sweater at the home and I’ve called at least 6 times at this point to try to have them mail it to me. Every time I call someone answers and says I need to speak with the head of cleaning and I never get a call back. I’d appreciate a call back ASAP as it’s been 3 weeks.

Christmas 2022

Entrance to the property was like a treasure hunt- we went to front door it was latched and no entrance- went to back and screen door was open- the code lock was on the door going into garage - Once in garage did not know how to get a key to entrance of house- Finley found. Second key box that was open and used the code that was on the outside of box - The house is very nice- laundry room very large - the family and kitchen and dining room hold our family very nicely The kitchen was not well stocked for cooking- We purchased a large stock pot for a low country boil-because they did not have one- We also purchased pan to cook our Christmas roast - Silverware was limited - The internet was iffy and took us awhile to figure it out- It would be nice to receive a notebook with details of the house- How to lock the doors - We did not know that their was one Terence from the property to the beach- Loved walking the the restaurants for dinner and to watch ball games- Enjoyed our time at this house - Perfect for our family Christmas Just a few suggestions for improvement

Overall, the rental property was nice and met our needs. However, it was a bit disappointing for a few reasons which I feel are vey basic requirements given the money we spent. First, the description of the property claimed it was a “5 minute walk” to the beach. This is not the case. The closest beach access is Deer Creek park which has limited parking and a 5 minute drive. If you don’t get there early than you need to wait until someone leaves. We spoke with several other renters in the same neighborhood who were also misled on the distance to the beach and had the same complaint. This needs to be corrected.Again, the house was nice but be advised, it is for sale. I mention this because I feel like the owners aren’t willing to replenish the essential items you’d find in most every rental or spend money on necessary repairs. For example, we had two hangars in the master closet and not a single wine glass in the entire house. No a huge deal but you’d expect to have these items in this type of rental. Regarding the cleanliness/maintenance of the house, there were issues there as well. When you arrive, the very first door you have to go through is a screen door to the side porch (more on the actual entry into the house later). The screen itself was ripped out on both of the upper and lower frames of the door and left to just flap in the breeze. Even the spline which holds the screen in place was hanging down from the frame. I have to say, not the best first impression. Onc

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Kevin. We’re glad to hear the home was comfortable and met your needs overall. We do want to clarify that the listing states Prominence homes use nearby public beach access points such as Deer Lake State Park, rather than direct walk-up access, which is why a golf cart is included for guest convenience. We regret if this felt unclear during your planning and appreciate your additional notes about household items and maintenance, which we’ve shared with our team for review. Your perspective is valuable to us as we continually work to ensure both transparency and comfort for our guests.
