Beach Bungalow was incredible. House is wonderful, pool is amazing, and location is perfect. Host is great, responds quick and even left us a welcome gift. Definitely recommend and will stay here on my next gulfcoast adventure.
This home is the perfect location, so close to the beach and walking distance to the town! Absolutely perfect in every way, extremely clean and well cared for and the pool was wonderful to have in the backyard. Donna was easy to work with and so responsive, hope to come back someday!
Great ome, Amazing hosts, pool, extras all exceptional. One of the best rentals we've experienced. Multiple areas, inside and out to chill with a cocktail or coffee. Great decor and overall vibe of the house. Pool probably one of the bigger ones we've experienced in a BSL rental. Loads of extra touches/amenities - beach toys, floats, chairs, towels, coffees, treats, tons of stuff. Great stay.
This home is so warm and inviting. There are so many thoughtful things - cozy blankets in the living room, treats when we arrived, and a welcome message in the house. It is located so close to everything, it is worth every penny! This is a beautiful home, we really enjoyed our weekend!
Great experience with this property!! I would love to find out about the large painting in the master bedroom, as I LOVE it and would like to see if I can find one.

Thank you so much! You all were such great guests! I will message you about the artist. Thanks for choosing our place!
The host made us feel welcome from the start, providing a bottle of wine, cupcakes from a local bakery, and a beautiful wooden ornament as a keepsake. The home is small, but every space is comfy and used to its full potential. Sleeping is an amazing experience, with the most comfortable beds and a nice, wide couch that feels like a single bed. The furniture offers plenty of seating for 6 people, and the stylish decor accentuates the beauty of this home. We were able to use the cooktop, oven, and grill to prepare meals. And I spent most mornings lounging on the upstairs porch bed with a good book. Bonus: the magnolia tree on the side of the house began blooming the day before we left. I'm sure the guests after us got to experience the many flowers on the magnolia tree in the front lawn. Just gorgeous! We loved the heated pool. It is just the right size to be warm in the 70-degree cloudy weather we had. The little covered patio near the pool was nice for those of us who needed to be in the shade. We were impressed with the quality pool floats and rafts. They made us feel like we were staying at a resort.Every space and piece of furniture was clean (even the cups, plates, and silverware). The huge upstairs bathrooms were amazing. Great shower space. Note: the downstairs sink is very small. If you don't mind this, the house is pretty perfect.Highly recommend this close-to-the-beach home with a super responsive host.
This place is precious, cozy, well stocked, perfectly located, and all spaces/beds were super comfortable. We enjoyed the heated pool and firepit, as well as the adorable front porch! We rented Beach Bungalow for a girls trip and it was perfect. Donna is so communicative and helpful. Stay here! It's about .8 miles to the "town square" and right across the street from the beach. It was very quiet and peaceful. Would love to come back! Love BSL!
This house is absolutely stunning! From the moment we walked in the door, everything about this property just blew us away! It was so clean and well decorated, beds were comfortable and so many little “extras”. The welcome gifts were also a great touch! The pool and gazebo area was so beautiful and inviting! We plan on coming back!! HIGHLY recommended!

Thank you for this really nice review! I'm so happy to hear that you all had a great time, and we'd love for you and your family to return anytime!
Everything about our stay here was absolutely perfect. From outstanding pool area, to the bedroom balcony with a bed swing, the property doesn’t miss. We rented from a local golf cart company and were able to enjoy shopping, the nightlife, and even the casino with a breezy golf cart ride. We were a short drive to multiple golf courses as well. The house is practically on the beach which provides another avenue for a good time. 10/10 recommend staying here, we will be back.

Jarrod, thank you so much for this amazing review! I’m thrilled to hear you all had such a great stay and were able to enjoy both the house and the town. It sounds like you really made the most of everything! I truly appreciate your kind words and would love to welcome you back anytime.
Simply beautiful! We had such an amazing time at this most wonderful property. The location was perfect, only a few houses from the beach and close to town. Spent a little over a week in BSL and enjoyed exploring the quaint neighborhoods and shops. Donna was an outstanding host. Easy communication and attention to detail made our stay one of the most relaxing vacations ever. Morning coffee on the front porch listening to the tranquil fountain followed by time in the pool and an afternoon nap on the upstairs porch bed swing before heading to town to listen to the live music and grab ice cream at Creole creamery pretty much sums up most of our days. Looking forward to the possibility of booking another vacation at this beautiful home.
