My family loved our four-night stay at the bungalow. Check-in was easy; access to the front door was through a lockbox. The house is in a great location. Five-minute walk to the beach and a ten minute drive to Publix for groceries. It's about a 20 minute walk to "The Big Chill," an outdoor food-court that has dining choices for everybody, live music and outdoor seating. Our daughter rented a bike that was delivered directly to the house (*bikes are highly recommended for this area), which she used to explore neighboring beaches. The house has three spacious bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms/showers. The house was clean upon arrival. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, cutting boards, etc... we didn't need to bring any cookware from home. The host sent a warm note welcoming us and was immediately responsive when we had questions during the trip.Overall, a super stay. Would book again.

The house was wonderful. We had plenty of room and privacy. The location was unbelievable! Close to the beach, stores and restaurants made for an easy, relaxing vacation.
We had such a great time in this house. It is clean and comfortable and homey. It had everything we needed. Easy walk to a beautiful beach. We hope to be back soon.

A perfect house and location for the beach! Clean, well maintained, responsive owners, and an excellent set up for getting to the beach and into town. Highly recommend.
We enjoyed our experience. The owner communicated with us if we had any questions. The area was n ot as crowded as nearby areas which we greatly appreciated!

Jennifer and her group were very nice guests. They were clean and were respectful of our property. We would be glad to host them again.
We had a wonderful time at this property. It was located in a great spot. Right in between two access points to the beach. Next to the Hub. My whole family loved it and we want to come back! Thanks from fellow Georgians.
We are so thankful to have found this property in our favorite place to go! The house is spacious and very clean. We loved the convenient walk to the beach. This made it super easy for us with our 5 year old boy along with my parents. This is a definite place we will be booking again!! Hopefully sooner than later!
This is a really nice, comfortable home with an even better location. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the house has a big grill for cooking out. The interior is cool and cozy, and there is lots of exterior space - front, back, and upstairs - to enjoy. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, while being just steps from the beach. The beach equipment generously provided by our hosts - multiple chairs, umbrellas, toys, and cart to haul it all in - was a great bonus.
Overall I thought this property was a good deal. 5 minute walk to the beach with all of the gear you would need and a wagon to pull it. Home had a cottage like charm to it. A good central location that made it easy to drive to the nearby neighborhoods in both directions (minus traffic). Kids had a blast!

The McKellar's were wonderful guests. Absolutely no problems. I would recommend them to any host.
Wonderful is all we can say about this home. We love nooks and this home had many places to find a quiet place to read a book or just relax. We loved having an enclosed garage to keep our car and bikes. Lots of beach toys, umbrellas, and chairs. Beds were comfortable too. Very close to the beach. Hope to stay again in the future.
Excellent Location!
Neighborhood is Literally across the street to the beach access, and beach is prime location, not too crowded. Garage is filled with beach toys, chairs and wagon for hauling it all. House is perfect for a family. Cozy and just as the pictures show. Plenty of room for 6 adults to relax and hang out comfortably. Kitchen is equipped with all you need if cooking is preferred, as well as BBQ. Hosts were gracious and easy to respond with. Many thanks to them for sharing their home!

We greatly enjoyed Angela and her group. They were perfect guests, and we would be glad to host them again. Please come back soon!
The location between Watersound and Alys Beach is convenient to restaurants, and shops (although not walking distance). Since the weather wasn’t conducive to a lot of beach time, I can’t really speak to that. The homeowners have chairs and ice chest available. It’s really more like a “personal residence” than a condo rental. We felt like we were staying at a family members home. We found it to be a great way to relax, play board games and watch a little football for New Years.

Thank you, Linda! Glad you enjoyed our home. Come again when it sunny!
We rented the house during the week to enjoy some family time and be close to family who live in the area. The house is not as modern as many in the neighborhood but it has a lot of space to spread out. The kids had their own playroom area and a big living area for all to enjoy. It was a close and easy walk (<5 minutes) to the beach. We had an issue with the air conditioner the first day but it was quickly fixed the next morning. Communication was quick and we were even allowed to check in a little earlier and enjoy some extra beach time. Neighborhood is quiet and peaceful which cannot always be said about other properties in the area.

Heather and her family were relatively good guests. However, there were more people in the house than we were led to believe, and there was a lot of in and out which affected the air conditioning somewhat. Nonetheless, we worked to accommodate their needs, and we are glad that they had a nice time.
We stayed only 2 days (3 mights) so couldn't make the most of it. Just in those 2 days we kept finding another door or room! With a week, we'd have been better able to make the most of the balconies/porch, the garden etc. And worked out which switches turned on which of the many lights (which are necessary in the large lounge). The photos do not do justice to the property.

Beautiful home!!
We absolutely loved our stay! The home is beautiful, clean and spacious!! We had more than enough room for everyone. Our three girls especially loved the bedroom with the three beds. The outside porches were cozy. We also appreciated having a washer and dryer for towels after going to the beach. The beach is only a 5 minute walk away. The water was clear and amazing. During our sta, we saw a manatee, sea turtles and dolphins. The ride to the stores was only a few miles away. Overall, our stay was fantastic and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
