Milestone Birthday Celebration

We were so delighted to spend a week in Forever Grateful! We had family and friends together, and the many bedrooms and bathrooms worked out well for our large party. The kitchen had two dishwashers, two sinks, two hidden trashcans, and was stocked with lots of dishes. The screened-in porch became the favorite place for shared meals. We asked that the saltwater pool be heated to make it more comfortable for our grandson and others. The pool was shaded in the morning, and we loved the way the living areas looked out over the pool and beach. Our family staying in the upstairs bedrooms with the balconies facing the beach were thrilled. Royal Destination was very responsive to any concerns. For example, the rubber seal inside one of the dishwashers came loose, but they were quick to repair it. We were glad to have the outdoor shower and separate hose to use to wash off when returning from the beach. The one downside concerned the three umbrellas and six chairs on the beach that we had been told were a part of the house package. Almost every day, the attendant picked these up way ahead of the 5 p.m. time we had been told was the pickup time. The company representative who handles these umbrellas and chairs told me that they had to start early to get home! The beach area became crowded next to and behind our chairs with people coming through the public access next to our house and did not have the private or spacious feel we thought would accompany this property.

Repeat visitors to Forever Grateful

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We are forever grateful for this property! This was our second time to stay at this property, which speaks for itself as far as a review. Our first trip was a girls trip and then this time we brought the husbands along. We love this house, all of its amenities, and the location. Our only complaint was the check in time being at 5:00pm. We thought that we may be able to get in a little earlier if the house was ready but the cleaning crew was there until 5:00 on the day of our arrival. You feel as though you lose a day of your vacation by not being able to get in earlier. Most places have a check in time of 3:00 or 4:00pm.

Great for on the beach w/ a pool but....

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It's a great property needs all new mattresses very uncomfortable. No extra pillows of sheets or blankets to be found. The 2 vacuums we found were broken. We went and bought a new one. Safety wise for small children is excellent, the outside cushions in the screen porch with dirty.Wish there was an outdoor kitchen. The barbecue that was there we used once was afraid to use because it was going to fall apart. The outdoor shower has a leak in the hose, We had to call maintenance for hot water the first day we arrived. This house needs a deep clean. This is a great property, great location. Great wish it was a little cleaner and outside was arranged differently. No room to sit around the pool... This house sleeps 26 people, 26 people around the pool or in the living room and kitchen is not enough living area.We were a large group, and we felt like we were on top of each other in the kitchen and living area and pool area.

Great location!

There were 24 in our group! The house was comfortable, and the kitchen was amazing with two refrigerators, and two dishwashers. The dishwasher and refrigerator and washer dryer in the apartment was an extra bonus! The icemaker was a huge hit! But the best part was the beach, and the location of the house Was near restaurants and grocery stores. The master bedroom and bath were sensational! It was a shame. Our weather didn’t cooperate, but having the pool heat, it was a lifesaver. Even though the weather wasn’t great, we all had a fabulous time!

My wife's 50th Birthday Trip to 30a

We had the pleasure of staying at Forever Grateful for my wife's 50th birthday in early Nov of 2022. The house was perfect for our group. The house comes appointed with everything you need for a great get away, and the location is close to some of our favorite bars/restaurants on 30a... like Shunk Gulley and Crackings. We are hoping to come back again for a family vacation in the future!
