Wateroak shaded home with screened porch one direct block from beach

Enjoyed our time at the beach and in the rental. It had everything we needed and was a nice place to stay. For the price, a very good deal. Not high end at all, but for the very reasonable cost, it was great. I would say it is rustic and a little worn, but clean and comfortable. It kid a little further from the beach than the pictures suggest, but still s very easy walk to a very nice beach. AC worked great to keep us cool, water pressure was great as well. I would stay again!

Everything's Just Beachy is conveniently located, has a nice, enclosed dog lot, and screened in porch--everything we were looking for. The problem is that we have never stayed at a rental property so poorly maintained. The night we arrived none of the porch lights worked (we replaced them the next day, but before we did, my wife ran into the storm door, hurting her already injured shoulder). The next day, I took the dog down the three steps from the porch to the dog lot and my foot went completely through the second step of rotted wood sending me sprawling into the yard. The metal mesh lint catcher on the dryer was so rusted and torn that it caught very little lint and constitutes a fire hazard as well as a hazard to anyone trying to clean it out. The gate to the dog lot is inoperable with one side held on by one screw. The sky light also leaks when it rains. The problems with the guest bathroom (broken water handle, no spool on toilet paper holder) mentioned by another renter in August 2013 have still not been fixed. Though there is cable to the TV in the living room the bedroom TV gets only 3 random cable channels--including the weather and a religious channel. When we called the management, they did replace the stairs to the dog lot and said that they had a punch list of things to repair at the property. Our considered opinion is that they should have completed the repairs on the punch list before renting to us or anyone else. It was our impression that the owner either doesn't visit very often or doesn't care to do the necessary repairs to make the property safe. The management company also doesn't seem to audit the condition of the property (replace burned out light bulbs before renting it to the next occupant) and/or cannot persuade the owners to do what needs to be done. Stay away from this property and, frankly the management company, until they demonstrate a good faith effort to maintain this and other properties.

What a wonderful rustic beach home that was just perfect for our month long vacation. Home is nestled back in the oak trees and pines, with lots of wildlife that will entertain you while sitting on the porch. We had everything there that was needed for a great time and the home was very comfortable and clean. We were very pleased overall and so were the dogs who enjoyed the privacy fenced in backyard. The location of this home is great as well. It's within a few minutes of everything needed. Can't wait for a return visit!

We had a wonderful stay here. The house was lovely. The decorations and furniture were charming and comfortable, and the open layout was great. We truly had everything we needed. If I could decorate a beach house, it would look just like this one! Our little boy had a great first visit to the beach, and we plan to stay here again next year.

Great location! Great place for families with kids. The beach is at the end of the street just a quick stroll or you can drive down and park. The house has all the essentials for the beach, laundry, full kitchen and great sleeping accommodations. The house is not fussy and very comfortable which allows for ultimate relaxation. Look forward to staying here again.
