Our stay at this house was great. We had two families for 7 days and enjoyed every part of the house, especially the convenience of being close to the beach/restaurants and the golf cart. The private book was perfect. The host let us check in several hours earlier than 4pm at no charge too.

Thanks for the fantastic review! So glad the beach, nearby restaurants, and golf cart made your week enjoyable. Please visit again!
Great location close to the beach and you don't have to cross any busy roads or 30A. You can easily walk or take the provided golf cart.Large open kitchen, dining room, and living room with plenty of space for the entire family. The large deck out back overlooking the pool is great for early morning coffees or enjoying the sunset. The lower screened in porch is an added bonus. There are plenty of bedrooms to hold a whole family.The host were very easy to work with and met all our needs and responded quickly if we had any questions.This is a hidden gem on the end of a quiet street right near the beach.

Thank you for the wonderful review! So glad the short walk to the beach, provided golf cart, spacious kitchen and living areas, pool deck, and screened porch made your family stay comfortable. We love being a quiet hidden gem close to the beach.
Cleaning crew was still there when we arrived and there were multiple areas missed. We had bugs in one of the downstairs bathrooms and needed pest spray which they DoorDash to us. Main light in living room wouldn’t work. Outside/ the pool is in desperate need of maintenance as the liner is in horrible shape and the tiles around the edge are loose and very moldy. Broken chairs left on pool deck. Previous vacationers left balls and beers in shrubs. Broken dog collars on porch. Biggest issue was no front entry to home, had to either walk up deck or through gate to back entrances. Loved the location.

We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention, as feedback like yours helps us continue improving the experience we provide our guests. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a much smoother stay in the future!
We recently stayed with 8 adults, 2 kids, and 2 dogs. The location is great, walking distance to the beach and a couple of restaurants. Communication with the rental company went well and they were very responsive. Pet friendly was a big plus.The only negative was the outside furniture on the deck and at the pool. The wood furniture was in poor condition and one of the chairs broke while someone was sitting in it. The furniture issue wouldn’t stop us from staying there again. We love that side of 30a, and plan an staying here next time we come down.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the home overall.
We truly appreciate your important feedback, we’ve shared this with our team and it has been addressed!
It means a lot that you’d choose to stay with us again, and we’d love to host you on your next trip to 30A!
The property was nice. The pool was very dirty when we arrived. I was disappointed because we paid to have it heated. It was cleaned twice when we were there and was much better 3 days into our stay. There is an alarm on the back door to ensure no children get into the pool unsupervised. It was quite loud, but we got used to disarming it before opening the door. It would be beneficial for people with small children to ensure safety.I know this was a fairly new rental, just a couple recommendations, it would have been nice to have more than one hair drier and a nicer one at that. It would have been nice to have a few specialty pans, muffin tin, and maybe a clothes steamer.I should have read what was provided more closely and brought some things from home. The bikes were a great touch and much appreciated.

Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the home and especially the bikes!
We’re sorry to hear the pool did not meet expectations upon arrival. Our pools are serviced twice weekly (as you've mentioned) to keep them clean and well-maintained, and we’re glad it was quickly addressed during your stay. We always encourage guests to reach out if anything isn’t up to standard, as we’re happy to assist right away.
The pool alarm is in place as an important safety feature, especially for families with children, and we appreciate your understanding there.
We also appreciate your suggestions regarding additional household items. As noted, we do provide a list of included amenities, but feedback like yours is very helpful!
We’re happy to hear you had a great time overall and hope to host you again in the future!
This property has a lot going for it — a great location just a 5-minute walk to the beach, a spacious and well-furnished interior, and impressive amenities including a pool, golf cart, bicycles, beach chairs, and an umbrella. For the right experience, this could easily be a 5-star stay.Unfortunately, several issues brought the overall experience down.On the positive side:• Excellent amenities (pool, golf cart, bicycles, beach chairs & umbrella)• Spacious layout with attractive furnishings• Convenient location — short walk to the beachAreas needing improvement:• No house manual was provided. Basic information — such as the Wifi password, where certain things were, and checkout instructions — required repeated outreach to the host. A house book was promised but never delivered.• Starter supplies only. For a week-long stay, we had to request essentials like trash bags. This is the first time I've encountered this in a rental.• Pool cleanliness. The pool was not clean upon arrival and required cleaning, including emptying the filters, before it could be used.• Pest concerns. A live baby cockroach was found in the bathroom, and residue beneath the sink suggested a prior infestation that had not been fully remediated or cleaned.• Clogged shower drain. The downstairs shower was clogged throughout the stay.Overall, it was an adequate stay, but the lack of proactive communication, cleanliness shortcomings, and pest evidence are concerns I'd want addressed

Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the features you enjoyed, including the location, amenities, and layout of the home. We’re glad to hear those aspects helped make your stay enjoyable.
We do want to clarify a few items mentioned in your review. Our team did provide the Wi-Fi information during your stay, and provided an electronic guidebook and we were happy to assist with additional trash bags when you reached out. Starter supplies are provided for guests upon arrival, and additional items can always be supplied if needed during longer stays. We’re glad we were able to assist when you contacted us.
Regarding the house manual, we apologize if there was any confusion. Our team is always available to provide information about the home, amenities, and checkout procedures, as well as sending our electronic guidebook for easy info access. However, we are reviewing this to ensure it is even clearer for future guests.
We take cleanliness and maintenance very seriously. Had we been notified during your stay about the pool, shower drain, or any pest concerns, we would have promptly sent our maintenance or pool team to address them right away. We appreciate you bringing these items to our attention so they can be inspected and resolved.
Thank you again for your feedback. We still hope to host you under better circumstances.

Misleading descriptions5 BR house with 4 bath – but there was not one description on where the bathrooms were located…i.e. Master Bedroom with ensuite, shared bath with 2 bedrooms, etc… Should have taken that as a red flag.Turned out the Master bedroom was on main level and was not an ensuite. The bath for the Master was the ONLY bath on the main level and was to be shared with another bedroom located directly across the hall. Ended up sharing bath with 2 other people and their 2 babies. However, there was one hook and one bar for towels. Nowhere to hang swimsuits or towels for 4 people! Also, had to share with anyone on main level that needed it but didn’t want to walk downstairs to their tiny bathroom. The bedroom that features the crib was tiny. No way a couple with their suitcases and a baby could fit in that room. It did have its own bath with bathtub but it was so tiny, that one person could barely fit. No to mention the shower curtain was covered in moldAlso, black mold on ceiling in “master” bath.House for 12 people, not one place to hang wet towels or swimsuits. Ended up draping over every piece of furniture on porch downstairs. There was plenty of room on porch for something to be installed for hooks or anything for towels.Furniture was very dirty and worn. The one rug upstairs in living room was also very dirty and worn. Floors were dirty. Very little cookware. Again, a house for 12 and not a lot to cook with. Pool was gross. The first day it was great. It
