Thank you for your review! We are glad you enjoyed your vacation and that we were quick to respond. We hope to have you stay with us again!
We had a wonderful stay! Great place for our Christmas getaway! Perfect size for us. It’s just my wife and and our 2 dogs. So a full house is a waste, but the tiny carriage houses are too small with the dogs. This one is right in the middle and was perfect!

Thank you for the feedback and we are sorry those things happened during your stay! You all were great guests and we hope you'll come back to Exclusive 30A.
We’ve been vacationing within the 30A corridor for over 25 years and owned in Rosemary and Seagrove. We stayed in the carriage house and could not believe how excellent it is. Every detail, location, space, size, appliance, even the beds are excellent (hard to find past few years) is of a very high quality/standard. The owners know what excellence is and it shows. We highly recommend this property for rental - it above and beyond any other carriage house we’ve owned or rented….Excellent experience start to finish!

Reviewer Comments:
We love this cottage! The only suggestion we have is that a mop & bucket be provided since the white kitchen floors tend to get dirty quickly. Also, instead of an air fryer on the counter, a drip coffee maker would be nice. We so appreciate that our dog is allowed in this cottage!

We rented Just for Fun 2 to show our friends, who ususally vacation in Sanibel, our part of the Florida Gulf. It was a perfect location to show them all our favorite places to shop and eat, and you can't beat those sugar sand beaches! Also, we know from lots of searching that it's very hard to find a two bedroom property that has 2 King suites! The property was clean, beds were comfortable and location was convenient. Could have used a regular coffee maker, instead of just the Keurig, and could use a few more coffee cups. Also, the deck furniture off the kitchen was not that comfortable. Being able to text with the Exclusive 30A folks was fast and easy when we had any questions or issues. We had a great time.

Hi Kevin, we're glad to hear you enjoyed Just for Fun 2 and had a great time showing your friends around the Florida Gulf! Your feedback about the coffee maker, cups, and deck furniture is noted. We recently updated the outdoor furniture for the main home and it sounds like the guest home is next! We hope your future stays are even more enjoyable! Safe travels!

This was formerly my favorite place to stay in Seaside. But, it has new ownership & property management. Cable & WiFi we’re both out much of the week because of work being done on both houses. They were doing renovations on the main house that were very disruptive to my stay including blowers, hammering & losing hot water one day. When I reported that cable & WiFi were out because of landscaping being done on the property I was told that the owners said they were only doing interior painting. They treated me like I was just complaining about nothing. The attitude & level of service from property management was very poor. The change in ownership & property management has definitely made this a less desirable place to stay.

We sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you experienced during your recent stay. We regret the disruptions caused by renovations and the issues with cable and WiFi. We value your feedback and are taking immediate steps to address these concerns and improve our service. The miscommunication about landscaping and interior painting was unintentional, and we're working to prevent such misunderstandings in the future. We appreciate you booking with us and we hope you'll consider staying with us again to experience the improvements we're making.

Just for Fun 2” #116The biggest issue with the rental is the home had fleas! We have spent so much money, and time to resolve this issues once we returned home. We have had our car detailed 2 times, purchased several items to kill the fleas and have had to wash all of our clothes several times. We have visited seaside for 7 years and never had an issue like this! We have rented homes that animals were allowed and had no issue. I emailed the rental company requesting a 15% refund to cover the time, and money I have spent to get rid of the fleas. Not only have I not received a refund, I have not received a response, or phone call from the rental company.
