The beach was beautiful! The house is beautiful and super clean. April at Resort Rental is AWESOME! We felt so fortunate to stay at this lovely home. It was perfect for 7 ladies for our three day Girls Getaway! The outdoor furniture is high quality and very comfortable. The beds and linens are also comfortable and beautiful!

Home was spacious for our family of 5 adults and 4 kids. The location was easy to find and the beach access was great. We loved not having to drive to a beach. The kids had a so much fun! We used the Baby Quip rental as suggested on the VRBO site (they were fantastic), however, most of the items we rented were already at the house, beach toys, pack n play, and safety gate. I asked about these items prior to renting and was told it’s not the host’s responsibility to provide baby items. My suggestion for improving would be, there are 3 floors and not a single handrail - not great for an older adult or young child. There were minor repairs needed like bathroom door knob pulled off each time we opened the door, all 4 toilet seats were falling off, and towel bars not attached to the walls very well. None of these items deterred us from having fun, but would have earned the rental a 5 star rating. Also the lack of basic supplies in the kitchen made it difficult to use the dishwasher the entire time we were there, needing to hand wash dishes with only a tiny bottle of dish soap after the 2 dishwasher pods were used.

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for choosing our home for your family vacation. We’re glad to hear the space worked well for your group and that you enjoyed the convenient beach access—being able to walk to the beach is something many of our guests really appreciate, especially with kids. We appreciate your feedback regarding the BabyQuip rental. While we don’t advertise baby items as guaranteed amenities, we understand how clearer communication or a more detailed inventory list could be helpful, and we’ll certainly take that into consideration going forward. Thank you as well for pointing out the safety and maintenance concerns. We take these comments seriously and have addressed the issues you mentioned, including securing fixtures and reviewing safety improvements. We’re also reviewing our kitchen supply standards to ensure guests have adequate essentials for longer stays. We’re happy to hear these items didn’t detract from your overall enjoyment, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share constructive feedback to help us improve the experience for future guests. We’d be glad to welcome you back again.

Enjoyed our stay on the beach and the house accommodated our needs. The down side was that there were no Hand Rails on any of the steps going to the 2nd & 3rd floors, and garage doors didn’t work and were partially open. To say it accommodates 14 people and have minimal spaces for cars was hard. I’m sure this had something to do with the last hurricane and that they are still in the fixing stages. But would have been nice if we were told ahead of time. Once these items are fixed it will be a nice place to stay.

Great Get Away Rental!

This was a great vacation property - it was extremely clean and very well stocked in a nice Key West/beach style right on the spacious soft sandy beach. Master bed was extremely comfortable. We really enjoyed the property and the owner was very easy and pleasant to deal with. The dolphins made regular appearances and the sunsets were great.

Great location

The location made this vacation everything we expected! We had small children and the trek to the beach and back was a delight and able to be done all day, every day! It took most of the work out of traveling to the beach with children, which is exactly what we were looking for. Would highly recommend!

Perfect vacation in paradise!

We throughly enjoyed having the convenience of having the beach and pool in such close proximity to the beach house. My two small children would go back and forth all day pool and beach and it made it a stress free vacation, thus maximum enjoyment was achieved. Additionally being from Tampa I can attest that Sunset Beach is still a hidden gem within our Gulf beaches. Love it!

Loved the location. Not too touristy. Beach not too busy. If you get some chairs from the garage and put them out early, others will put theirs elsewhere and maintain your view of the beach. Be careful at the top of the spiral stairs as the sub-floor is caving in. Other than that - great stay.
