Great House in a Perfect Location!
We absolutely loved this house! It’s spacious enough for a large group but still feels cozy for a smaller family. The layout is fantastic—everything flows easily, especially the open kitchen and living room setup, which made it perfect for spending time together.
The location couldn’t be better. It’s close to everything you need: the beach, community pool, restaurants, and snack shops. Whether you’re into long morning walks or just a quick stroll for coffee and donuts, this spot is ideal.
We highly recommend this home and would definitely stay here again!

This was the perfect setting for a week at the beach with girlfriends. The house was spectacularly appointed and everything we could possibly need was available to us I slept like a baby on the wonderful mattress And while it was perfect for me and the girls I look forward to the time I can take my family here. The beach and eating and shopping areas was an easy walk. I give this beach house rental an A+++++
I hope anyone looking for a rental has the good fortune to book this one!!

Another great stay
The owners of this property graciously extended last years pricing to us so we had to come here again. We love the location, we've stay several places along 30A and we like the quieter west end. We had a small issue with the thermostat but I trips had a maintenance man on it in minutes and totally resolved it. More good news! New living room furniture that is so comfortable. Along with comfy bedding and a well equipped kitchen this place is close to perfect. The vacuum does a good job on the floors but a broom for the steps would be handy. If possible we'll be back!

Back to our favourite place...
Third year staying here for a month in late winter. We love staying in this comfy well equipped house. And when we've had little problems I Trips takes care of them quickly. We'll keep coming here as long as we can.
For summer use it's perfect for a larger family or two families. The two masters and two bunk rooms are supported by a plethora of plates, glasses, and flatwear. They added a crock pot to an already well equipped kitchen.
The Dune Allen area has become our favorite, much quieter than the eastern portions of 30A but still plenty of services. Also much of the private beach areas are open to all. One owner even posted signs showing visitors were welcome. The beaches aren't as restrictive as many have said.

Beautiful Week
We had three families that stayed in this home which worked out perfect. The kids room had 4 beds in it. It was decorated beautifully and was vey clean. It is only 0.3 miles to the beach - which with a lot of items to carry can be quite a ways. We would pack the car with chairs, tents, beach bags and drive to the public parking at 8 AM and park there and only walk down with the rolling cooler. There were a few minor issues - not enough sheets, no broom but were addresses immediately.

Thank you so much for staying with us! We're glad that we were able to sort out those issues. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay and hope you stay with us again in the future!
One of the cleanest short term rentals we've been in, especially at the beach. Kitchen is VERY well equipped. We stayed a month and cooked in a lot so that was important to us. Beds were very comfortable, bathrooms extremely nice, showers in the two large bedrooms looked to have been recently redone. The broom was kind of puny but a very useful vacuum was available. Washer and dryer are very new and easy to use. Only negative is that the living room furniture is on the sad side.
We didn't need the golf cart but it is fairly new and in great shape and their price is quite the bargain compared to other rentals. It does take up parking space but there are ways to work around it.
Location is outstanding. Easy walk to the beach and several restaurants including ice cream and beer. Heaven? Possibly. Our favorite fine dining, Vue on 30A, is just a couple minutes away
We may break tradition and and repeat here next year...now about that furniture.

Good house, very clean. but need more space for parking
We rented this house with a friend family, so two families, two vans. The house overall is clean, and convenient to get to the beach. The only problem we had is the parking, because the owner had the golf cart parked there, it is very hard to park two vans in the drive way.. The management team responded to our request every time, but it seemed like some people didn't know what the HOA rules about the parking is.. So they kept telling us they would remove the golf cart, then no one showed up. Until 3 days later, someone came and said it is HOA rules that this golf card has to park in the drive way. So except this story, our overall stay is pleasant. Kids love the bunk beds.
By the way, there are some overflow parking spaces on the other side of the neighborhood, we didn't know that until a day before our leave. If management team can point that out to us, we won't struggle for the parking.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! We're so glad to hear that overall, you, your family and friends had a wonderful vacation! We strive to make sure our guests have a top notch experience when they're staying with us. All the little details matter and I am so sorry there was confusion with parking and the golf cart taking up space. Our team does it's very best to accommodate all requests, when we are able, and I am sorry that we weren't able to move the golf cart. We will definitely take your feedback to make sure our future guests know about the additional parking! We hope you'll be back to stay with us and enjoy this beautiful place again soon!
The house was great for numerous people and had a fantastic hang out area with the kitchen and living room. There was slight confusion about the golf cart. I was not aware that you rented a golf cart directly through the VRBO owners and instead went through their recommended rental agency that rents out beach equipment AND golf carts so I ended up paying twice as much for a smaller golf cart than the one they offer through their listing. We asked for a vacuum to help keep the floors clean while there because we couldn't find one and they dropped one off that day which was great! We would rent this place again.
Amazing location & attentive property management team before and throughout our stay!

Unfortunately didn’t get to stay here
Unfortunately we dis not get to stay at this property. The property was sold prior to our making the trip. We were rebooked at another house in the same neighborhood. Beautiful neighborhood and from what I could tell from the outside of this home it was a beautiful home but not sure it will be available in the future to rent. Booking company was very gracious and got us all set up. Nothing against the property there was no way to write review as N/A was not available for some of the topics therefore could not rate check in profess or cleanliness.
We loved the neighborhood and the proximity to the beach and the house was perfect!

The staff were very responsive to all our needs before, during and after our trip. Well done. The only think I would add to the house is a broom! :) The shop-vac was nice, but a broom would have been great to get the sand out of the way during the week. We loved our time and would stay there again!
