The home was very beautiful and perfect for our large family. The beach is a short walk which made it easy to go back and forth. We absolutely loved the home and look forward to future stays here to enjoy our family and beach time.
Great location, great size for a big group, kid friendly closet and great walking distance to the beach.It was so relaxing. It had just enough of what we needed. I wouldn't trade this week for anything.

We deeply apologize for the inconvenience that you experienced during your vacation. Hurricane Michael was an unfortunate event, yet we were all blessed that our local area of 30A received minimal impacts from the storm. We've reached out to you, as well as all of our guests, to ensure that you were safe and to provide any additional assistance if needed. We look forward to you vacationing with us again!

The house was unclean and poorly maintained. See pics. The big offer from Managment when they finally returned my email was an offer to send people over to clean and fix things. So I’ve already had to clean up on vacation and now we have to deal with strangers further wrecking our vacation. I asked to be compensated. D never heard back from them. Shocking! We rent at the beach every year for 20years and never dealt with a place that looked so dumpy. The same complaints about noSilver ware, the top floor being scorching hot,etc just get more noted and people fall for the pics. Great location but horrible experience.
Thank you for staying with us at 'Sunset Watch on 30A!" We value your feedback and apologize for any inconveniences. Our guest's privacy, safety, and comfort are our top priorities. Our team is always available 24/7 on our guest emergency line for any questions that may arise during your stay with Beachwalk Vacations. We hope you come back to see us soon!

Pretty place but misleading on website
We enjoyed Sunset Watch— the rooms were well laid out for our group of 13. However, to rent to this many, you need more than 5 mugs and 4 spoons in the house!
Also the website erroneously says there are 2 beach chair companies that rent on their beach- that is false.
We had to pay extra to have one set up on an adjoining beach.

This home is perfect for a large group or family! This home also has a very well equipped kitchen to supply the large groups, and I can assure you it has more than 4 spoons and 5 mugs. There are plenty of 3rd party vendors that supply beach chairs, we are sorry that you chose the wrong one, but that is not something in our control. We were simply being helpful in providing suggestions from companies we use regularly.
We always look for convenience to the beach… this has it!!!! Short short walk to beautiful beach. The pool is tiny, and the home could use more gathering space for hosting such a large group. Just one couch - the pull out beds are not suitable for adults… full of springs… but the king/queen beds are great. All in all it was a great stay at the beach- if you have good weather- your on the beach anyways- 15 min bike ride to Rosemerry. Very good communication with the host. Thank you!

Hi, Tara!
Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re so glad to hear that the convenience to the beach made your stay enjoyable and that you had great weather for your trip. It sounds like you were able to take full advantage of the beach and the nearby bike ride to Rosemary Beach—what a perfect way to explore the area!
We truly appreciate your feedback regarding the pool size and the gathering space in the home. We will certainly consider your suggestions as we continually strive to improve the guest experience. We’re also happy to hear you had a comfortable experience with the king and queen beds, and we appreciate your kind words about our communication!
Thank you again for staying with us. We would love to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another visit in the future with BeachWalk Vacations!

Great location, beautiful community. House was nice, large rooms, lots of bathrooms. Kitchen well stocked. Beach toys in closet were a hit. Would have loved to have golf car available, the walk to the beach would have been ok if we didn't need to haul kids and equipment. I would have loved a binder of tips for the area. Grocery, restaurants, things that make 30a special, map to the private beach and nearest public beach. Lastly, we counter the queen sleepers as beds for adults, but the mattresses were outdated, thin and not near adequate for an adult to sleep on. Beds were comfortable, linens were clean.

We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay, and we thank you for your valuable feedback! We try to include as much property specific and region specific information as possible in the welcome email that we send to every guest before they check-in. You will find the beach access points and a map to the beach in this welcome email along with local restaurants and grocery store locations. Again, we are so glad that you enjoyed your stay! We hope to see you again soon!
This home is ideal for a large family or maybe two families with children. Overall, my group had a great time, but we experienced a few things that could have been better: (1.) the sofa bed in the top floor bedroom is extremely uncomfortable (the mattress is thin and you can feel the metal frame). (2.) the griddle and skillets were dirty, we had to clean them prior to using them. The home itself had plenty of space, two parking spaces were provided +extra, first come first served spaces, within walking distance of the beach, great community.

The rooms were not as advertised; Bedroom 3 and 4 were advertised as “2 Double Beds and 1 Queen” however they were 2 twins and 1 Queen bed. When the shower on the 2nd level was in use, water leaked from the ceiling in a bathroom on the 1st level. The 3rd level (with the king and pull out coach) was very hot and didn’t cool well. There were two small air conditioning units at the home but they only blew hot air.There was mold on a couple of air conditioning vents, several bugs on the first level, a rusty shower curtain rod, and lots of dirt and dust under the furniture on the day we arrived. It was advertised under amenities that there was a “barbecue grill” however there was no grill and a sign was posted that under HOA, grilling was not allowed under any circumstances. There was at least 3 stories of steep stairs to get to the beach with no ramp; we brought a wagon with us but it was too steep to carry a wagon up and down the stairs. There were 4 bikes that came with the house, but one of the bikes had a broken chain, one had a flat tire, and one had a chain the kept coming off. We stayed from Sunday to Sunday and when we arrived there was a sign posted on the pool that stated it was closed for required maintenance and didn’t open until Thursday. We chose this rental because our little ones love a pool. We wouldn’t have chosen this rental if we would have known that the pool would be closed for four of the days we were there.

Not fancy but comfortable
This property sleeps many but rooms are small and noise can be a factor. Many stairs all over house and beach walk also. Lots of attributes however- 3 balconies, 4 full bathrooms, several convenient kitchen appliances for cooking for large groups, plenty of silverware, dishes and pots and pans, LOTS of extra bath towels, extra linens, AC worked great, LOTS of hot water for showers, close to community pool and beach access. Clean with lots of windows. Comfortable and ample balcony furniture.
We enjoyed our family stay for the week here! Immaculately clean, so much space in 3 stories of house to retreat to our own rooms. Balconies with that view of the ocean were so pleasant in the evenings and early mornings! So easy to just walk down to the beach! Thank you for such a wonderful week away! We will be back!
We enjoyed our stay and the house was beautiful. Loved that the house was equipped.
Great place. Plenty of everything you and the family will need. Loved how the kitchen was filled with enough dishes, pots/pans, etc for a big family. There was 13 in of us and we didn’t run out of towels or anything the rental provided.

La alfombra debería de cambiarse y el sofá del living room estaba un poco sucio
This house was a perfect size for our family vacation. Having a bathroom for each bedroom was a huge plus. Initially, I had concerns when we arrived and the icemaker was making an extremely loud noise and short of unplugging the fridge, we couldn't figure out how to stop it. I called and they arranged for someone to come the next day to repair. I made a 2nd call when the 1st floor air conditioner was not cooling. They sent someone out next day, and the issue was taken care of. We had no other issues the remainder of our stay. It's a great house, and only a 2-3 minute walk to the public beach access ramp. Just be prepared for the 50+ steps to get down to the beach. Not bad going down, but exhausting coming back up after a long day out in the sun. We just packed our lunch each morning, so we didn't have to make a 2nd trip each day. :)

Overall we had a good experience. Location was great. Property had plenty of space.
This is a great spot, with a view of the ocean and short walk to the beach. The house accommodated our group of 16 well, including three families with small children. We had a wonderful time!
