This house was great for our group. It is very big with lots of beds and space. It's in a great location and the walk to the beach is fast and easy. The house itself is in need of some tlc but it worked great for us. One of the bunk beds broke but someone was out right away to repair it, even on Easter Sunday. The outlets in most of the bathrooms at first weren't working and they fixed that right away as well. It was clean and the kitchen accomodated us well. Communication with the management was timely and they definitely want to make sure the guests are happy. We had a great trip here!
Place is very pretty, located a short walk to the beach and to some delicious restaurants. Great for all kinds of occasions

We’re so glad you enjoyed the property and its convenient location! It’s wonderful that it worked well for your stay and any kind of occasion. We’d love to welcome you back!
The communication from their team was great, the home was beautiful and spacious with great amenities. There was also prompt responses to the fixable issues.The pool and pool table were great touches as well as the complimentary bikes and cornhole game. However, there were some very disturbing things that I must address. Teenager roaches were rampant throughout the kitchen, stairs and some bathrooms. For such a large house with many rooms and beds, there were limited linens and sheets. There was also much wear and tear on the furniture and the sofas so they need to be upgraded or covered with new covering. The TVs are also much too small for the size of the rooms. It looked like a 37" in the living room area and 13" to 20" in the massive bedrooms. The distance from the sofas to the TV was too far for the size TVs that were there. Especially in the master bedroom. We made the best of it and still had a good time as it is a beautuful and spacious house.

Hello Bernadette, we really hate that this experience didn't meet your expectations. We've gone back through the property this off season to do a lot of repair work and general maintenance. We aim to keep the photos of the property and in person experience one in the same, and we never like to hear that anything was awry. Please come back to see us very soon, we'd love the opportunity to host you or any new traveler to our home.

The beach was beautiful
The house accommodated my group but the house is in need of several repairs and painting. The light over the kitchen table is not centered. The upstairs laundry room is not ventilated mold on the ceiling. The shower door in the bedroom on the second floor did not close. Sofa downstairs was very nasty needs to be replaced. Chair in the main area was peeling needs to be replaced. The pillow on the furniture on the balconies needs to be replaced. Pool table needs to be replaced it was awful. The thermostat to the a/c unit upstairs was not connected. It was 64 degrees upstairs we had to turn the unit off to warm upstairs. The vent in the bathroom on the third floor not working. Paint peeling on kitchen cabinets. Refrigerator doors on the French door refrigerator did not close properly.
We had a great week. There are so many beds in this house and we loved to quick walk to the beach. The umbrellas with chairs were awesome!

We absolutely LOVED having you and your group stay with us! Thank you for such a positive review. We are thrilled the home and location had everything you needed to enjoy your vacation! It is because of guests like you and your group that we continue to do what we do. We would be thrilled to welcome you and your group back for many of your future stays. Hope you have a wonderful week! We can't wait to have you all back!
Terrific home! Only complaint was the pool. They couldnt seem to get it right but I think they were changing cleaning companies . It was usable but only really clean 1 of the 7days we were there . Other than that it was a very comfortable well furnished home with plenty of space. Would definitely stay here again!!

Hey Debbie. Thanks for your patience, we were indeed in transition on pool companies but that shouldn't have fallen on you. We keep our pools blue and clean for our guests. We're so glad you loved the house, we enjoyed having you so much! Come back to see us!
Easy process to reserve. Value was poor/ cost for quality of home was not good. Too many small things gone wrong. Beach was close and awesome.

Hey Mr. Ewing. We had really really high hopes with this week after performing some repairs and getting things 100% for you and your group, I hate that it didn't fully meet your expectations. We loved having you here and we hope we get the chance to see you again. We've had a full day of preparing the property for our next guests including repainting a few things, cleaning out the kitchen, and fixing a few minor maintenance items. It was in great shape today for arrival. See you soon, have a great rest of your summer!
The house was clean when we arrived. It was a short walk to the beach. We had a lot of kids with us and it was completely manageable with wagons. We had an issue with the pool at one point (I understand those things happen not a big deal) and someone came out to fix it right away. Also, The company was very responsive when I was charged incorrectly and the promptly fixed the issue. Overall a great place to stay.
We absolutely loved the property, it's beautiful actually but when we arrived the place was very dirty and we had to call the owner to get the place cleaned up before we entered the home.. I'm still waiting to hear back from the homeowner as he was supposed to let me know how he could reimburse me because the pool table in the home was trash!!!! We couldn't even play a game of pool on it, there were holes in the table

Good Morning Ami,
We apologize for the inconveniences you've experienced during your stay at "Best Kept Sea-Cret," but I'd like to address a few key points here. First, this is not Beach Reunion's standard of care for our guests, we've addressed any potential disruptions to guest satisfaction with the appropriate departments.
I'd like to highly bullet point that we've refunded you nearly $1,000 from your stay for these inconveniences, that's nearly 20% of your total paid and that's generous. I'd also spoken with you personally on the phone and profusely apologized for the trouble, which our staff tirelessly worked to resolve immediately upon your arrival/voicing the concerns. Upon disconnecting the call, both you and I considered the outcome satisfactory. We sent housekeeping back within an hour of your arrival to address the minor cleaning issues as well as placed an order for a pool table totaling over $1300 but alas it was not going to deliver before you departed and that was out of our control. We also offered you an additional $300 to seek out a pool hall to play since this was important to your party, but you ultimately declined this offer.
We respectfully submit our response to this review in hopes that future travelers understand that this property is an excellent vacation rental and that it is always prepared for visitors. During the holiday stay, the weather was perfect and sunny and the shore sat just a quick 3 minute walk from the front door of the home.
We hope to host you in the future and we hope you and your family stay safe and healthy.

We were so impressed with the location and size of this home! The walk to the beach is short, maybe two blocks. Once you arrive, the beach is private and only allows for a single row of chairs to be setup. This was very comforting for us immediately following COVID lockdowns. There are restaurants in walking distance both directions down the beach.
We had a few issues that were very quickly resolved. The fridge on the main floor went out completely while we were there. I submitted an emergency order with the management company and someone was there within 2 hours to fix the issue. The other thing I would warn parents about are the locks. The lock to the pool gate is broken. There is also no way to lock the door of the house from the inside. This was pretty worrisome for us because we had two young children (4 & 6) sleeping on the first floor. The lock on the door from the inside would have made us feel better about the fact the kids couldn't just wander outside to the pool if they woke up. We made it work for this but would be great to have that addressed in the future.
Overall, really awesome stay!! Would come back and stay in this house in a heart beat!
We just stayed for labor day weekend 8/28-9/1 2019. We did have a few thing that need looking at. The shower heads in some of the rooms needed changing. The dishwashers one leak and the other didn't wash very well, the ice box leak at one point. Nothing major but need to be address to me. We would stay again if these thing were fix.

This place is awesome, we really enjoyed a lot. One issue was We had a very good time. One issue we faced was the floor tiles entering the building. It was very slippery due to the rain. There are no mats outside to cover the floor, 5 people fell on floor due to wet floor. Also thee are no mats in the kitchen and other door entrances.

Bad experience
For the amount of $ the place was filthy and not in good condition. Needed quite a bit of deferred maintenance. Found dead roaches, live ants, mold and mildew on shower floors. Balcony dirty and furniture stained. Sheets and comforts stained. Bed linen quality poor.
It sounds like sour grapes but over multiple stays on the gulf have never written a negative review

Hello Mr. Wetterer,
We at Beach Reunion always welcome feedback, and have a few points to address regarding your recent 1-star/negative review from Best Kept Sea-Cret.
We are extremely responsive to service calls when received, and our staff during your stay never heard from you or anyone in your party. Per the signed contract we received from your group, maintenance and cleaning concerns should be addressed and reported within 24 hours of arrival and we send maintenance and housekeeping back immediately to correct the issues. We comply with pest control regulations, use a highly qualified pool technician, and use only the best linens for every bed we change/make. This home very seldom has complaints from guests and your findings are not the normal for this home, or any other home we manage. We take pride in our daily business, which includes every bit of guest satisfaction in all 60+ of the properties on our program.
We hope you have a great rest of your summer,

Amazing Week
We had a wonderful week at Best Kept SeaCret. The house is very spacious and easily accommodated our group of 27. We didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. Having two refrigerators and dishwashers was great. The swimming pool was wonderful and was warm when we arrived.
A couple of minor issues. The washing machine downstairs and the dryer upstairs didn’t work very well. We called about the dryer and were told someone would come look at it, but no one ever showed up. Also, the outside ice maker didn’t work. With such a large group, we had to use coolers, so having an ice maker would have been convenient. These issues did not ruin our stay by any means, they were just inconveniences.
All in all, it was a wonderful week in a wonderful house with friends and family.

spacious house, close to the beach with a nice pool and pool table
The management company, specifically the owner of the management company, went out of his way to make sure we were happy and informed on the house amenities and the area. We opted to add pool heat for our November stay as well as a golf cart to the rental package in order to visit local restaurants. There is a nearby public beach parking lot by Pompano Joes which made it easy for use to take all of our fish gear and stuff to the beach in the golf cart. Thanks for making it a great family holiday!

Great House and Great Location
Access/directions to the house were easy and clear, communication with Beach Reunion was prompt. The house was clean, HUGE, and contained everything we needed. Plenty of bedrooms for our 21 guests and the kitchen was stocked with all the basics.
Although the pool was small (including depth), it served our needs.
With a couple initial issues (very minor), the handyman was prompt and quick to respond: items were all corrected.
Thx for a great time for our family get together.

Great space indoor and out. Lacking some maintenance, cleaning needs.
Nice size rooms. Great family space for eating and playing games. We all loved the outdoor spaces. We did have some issues with the overflow spa and were given incorrect information by two maintenance workers before a third showed up and said there was actually an issue with the filters and he actually fixed it instead of making up reasons why it wasn’t working properly. The overall cleanliness was fine. While understandably being near a beach sand will get everywhere but it didn’t appear the floors had been mopped as the bottoms of our feet were black by the end of the first day and we had not been walking barefoot outside.

LOVED THIS HOUSE! –
The “Moore the Merrier” annual family reunions have voted the Beach Reunion homes our number one choice for vacationing! Our concierge was available to us every day (Carrie) in both the Venetian Palace and the Aurora. Carrie is always so accommodating and high spirited and you can tell she is passionate about what she does! It’s always a pleasure working with her! This year (June 2017), we celebrated a 70th birthday, "white attire" celebration at the house AND a wedding on the beach. This year we required two houses to accommodate our extended family and friends. The Venetian Palace and the Aurora were right across the street from each other! I found both homes beautifully decorated but I will focus my comments on the Aurora. This 8 bedroom home, sleeps at least 23-25 people, the private swimming pool and Jacuzzi were perfect in the front of the home, providing an awesome alternative to the beach. When it was time to go to the beach, it was a 5 min walk within two blocks from the private beach entrance. The layout of the home accommodated all ages for indoor activities. The ground floor provided access to restroom, a refrigerator and even provided access to a large pool table! The large kitchen on the main floor was able to accommodate seating for a brunch for both houses! The large table, kitchen bar, balcony seating or the living room area was perfect for our meal times. Although you don’t was much television on vacation, every room provide a flat screen TV and most rooms had a private bath. I was the party planner for the “white party” and prior to our arrival Carrie provided a list of recommendations for local vendors, caterers, suppliers planning, logistics, and, she allowed us ship our supplies prior to our arrival! Carrie even provided the proper mailing instructions to ensure she was able to delivery our boxes to either houses. Carrie played a huge role in the success of our special events! Thank you again, Carrie! We will definitely return to Beach Reunion homes and our new guests this year are already planning to join us next year! I highly recommend you call Carrie, at the Beach Reunion homes for THE BEST VACATION EXPERIENCE, EVER!
