Great location! Perfect for the two of us. Not a complaint but a suggestion. Needs to be a place to hang wet towels after shower. And maybe a place to hang beach towels in the porch.
We ended up staying there for almost a week and we loved it. Great location, super helpful property managers. We will be coming back again!

Thank you for the fantastic five-star review! We're so glad you enjoyed the peaceful location and the close proximity to the beautiful beach. It’s hard to beat being just steps away from the ocean! We hope to host you again soon.

We really enjoyed our
We really enjoyed our stay at Rock Lobster Unit The place was clean and had everything we needed. Our only suggestion is that unit 1 replace the folding couch; which is used as a bed; with a regular bed like in unit 2. All and all it was a great place

Thank you for your review. We hope to see you back soon!!
The location of this cozy cottage is awesome. You are literally five steps to the boardwalk and then at the beach. It’s very close to Johns Pass and many restaurants and bars. It had all the necessities for our nine day stay. There were not any beach chairs or umbrellas, but we were able to rent some for the week.

This property is advertised as a Duplex. Be aware that there is a shared door within the property The shared door has blue painters tape around the door frame. It is easy to hear people in the next room.

Beautiful weekend
My husband and I rented this unit out for 4th of July weekend. Beautiful comfortable clean unit right on the beach. Everything we needed was there very convenient. We could not have asked for a better place to rent and enjoy our fourth of July together and see all the fireworks on the beach. We will definitely be back many times in our future.

A Jimmy Buffet weekend
We concentrated on being pure beach bums. Not much else mattered. The location was perfect for that. Never spent much time indoors. We didn't have a car but easily walked or took the free beach rode to wherever we needed to. Thank you! Was perfect for us!

Thank you for your review. We hope to see you back soon!!
Awesome location! Boardwalk was closed due to it being damaged probably from the hurricane. You do have to provide your own toiletries and the walls are paper thin. Lucky for us we only had one day of neighbors. The owner always responded within 15 minutes to a half hour! Very quick response time! They also allowed our friends to park in the lot as well on our beach days. Very easy checking in and out! The neighborhood was basically pretty quiet except for some dogs barking. All in all is what I expected. It was a nice stay.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the location and had a pleasant stay overall. We appreciate your understanding regarding the boardwalk. We do provide a starter pack of supplies, including some toiletries, to get you started, but once they run out, it's the guest's responsibility to restock. We would love to host you again in the future!

Perfect Private Beach Escape and Excellent Property Management Staff
First I want to send a huge Thank You and Kudos to Donna and Cheri! You guys rock! Rock Lobster is a quaint little house right off Sunshine Beach which is super quiet. A quick walk down the public access beach boardwalk which is right outside the door and you are on the beach. You feel like it's your own little slice of paradise. Unit #1 was very clean and any needs were attended to promptly. The property has ample parking for multiple cars at both units. We had a wonderful week and would definitely rebook and recommend booking to anyone wanting a private / quiet place to stay.
