Awesome place to stay!

This house was amazing with a great location near the beach. It is on a very quiet street. The golf cart was perfect for getting around, but there is so much within walking distance. Would definitely stay here again!

Short, easy walk to beautiful beach

The house was clean, and the walk to the private beach entrance was short and easy. However, bring your own salt & pepper, dishwasher pods, and garbage bags! Other than the tiny "welcome" boxes in the bathrooms and kitchen this house is bare to the bones.

Family Spring Break

We loved our time staying at the Crow’s Nest! The house was wonderful and accommodated our family of 6 perfectly. It was clean and the access to the pool and beach was very convenient. Gorgeous neighborhood that has everything you need within a short walk or bike ride. The golf cart and bikes included was definitely a bonus! Thank you for a great stay!

Perfect place for family get away

My husband and I invited our children and grand children to celebrate our 40th anniversary. The Crows Nest was the perfect place for us. Steps away from private beach access, the community pool right next door. The house was spacious and comfortable, bikes and golf cart included. Close proximity to great restaurants and coffee shops. We all had a great time, and would definitely consider staying here again.

Visit for Wedding

We had seven family members stay and the place was great for us. A beautiful house at a great location. Made great use of the pool and beach. We had two senior family members who had a bit of a hard time on the stairs from the first floor up to the living room/kitchen area (no railing for the bottom several stairs). A new railing there would help future senior guests. Otherwise, the place was perfect and we thank the owners and management for a great stay.

Thank you for your feedback, Bill. We are thrilled to hear that you and your family had a great stay for the wedding and enjoyed the beautiful house, pool, and beach. We appreciate your suggestion about adding a railing to the bottom stairs for the comfort of our senior guests. We will take this into consideration for future improvements. Hope to host you all again soon!

Good not great

Location is good, beach is just beautiful and right down the street. The little signs all over the property on what not to do, scratchy sheets, roasting hot loft, and lack of sheets on one of the bunk beds detracted from the stars. I would say for the cost it was good but not great. Def would not stay there if you have elderly or toddlers where stairs are a concern. Property mgmt team was very responsive.

Overdue Vacation

Lovely home and beautifully decorated. Great location on 30A with great local restaurants. Not sure the VRBO ad descriptions are as accurate as they state but was able to adjust. Huge issue for us, the private beach assigned to us was 22 minutes away, not 200 steps. A very kind and concerned lady with property management assisted us to get this corrected but we lost a half day of our stay because of this confusion.

Thank you for your feedback, Ronnie. We’re so glad you enjoyed the home and its location along 30A. We're sorry for the initial confusion regarding the beach access. The closest access is just a short walk from the home: simply cross Blue Mountain Road and continue toward the beach via S Grande Beach Drive. We appreciate your patience while our team worked to clarify things, and we hope to welcome you back for an even smoother stay next time.

4 day beach vacation

The location of this property was great. Very short walk to the beach. The check in process and check out process was very easy. We enjoyed our stay overall! I gave this stay a 4 star review because there were several things we noticed. The blinds in one of the bedrooms didn’t close which made changing clothes and sleeping difficult. The bunk room beds were pretty wobbly- definitely couldn’t support 2 people on the top without significant noises. The trundle bed room was up in the “crows nest” but was extremely hot. Not an ideal bedroom in our opinion. Some of kitchen pans were in poor condition as well. Again, overall- a very nice property and location!

The house was lovely and suited my crew just fine. The listing photos show carpet in the living area and there was none, so it isn’t as colorful as what’s shown. The bedrooms are fine, but the bunk bed is rickety and the room is small. I don’t know how you’d be able to use the trundle bed in there. The crow’s nest bedroom is hot during the day, but cooled off at night and sleep was comfortable. The spiral staircase is precarious so would recommend only able-bodied sober folks go up. The kitchen is small and suitable for one cook, two at most. The kitchen supplies leave a lot to be desired and sheet pans are flimsy. The only bottle opener we located was on a manual can opener and wouldn’t work. There are 3 coffee makers - Keurig, 12 cup drip, and 4 cup drip. Take your own filters. We left salt and pepper, but no other pantry basics are available. I looked in every nook and cranny for a broom and couldn’t find one. I requested one on Friday (we arrived Wednesday), was told to keep looking, and was brought one on Sunday. I requested more towels and those were brought promptly. All communication with the management company was timely and friendly. There are lots of notes around telling you not to do this or that. Adding a ‘please’ would be a nice touch. There are outdoor cameras not mentioned in the listing, fyi. We had a nice stay overall with a 5 minute walk to the beach. The kitchen would benefit from an upgrade in supplies. Would probably stay again.

Overall a nice stay

Overall the house was nice and clean. We LOVED the private beach access that was just across the street! Location was exactly what we’d hoped for. Just two small things and one issue…We feel that the golf cart needed some maintance. The battery went down VERY quickly. You could tell that the battery needed to be replaced so we couldn’t drive it very far. The cookware that was in the cabinets were not good. Haha, we actually went and bought a skillet to use for cooking breakfast in. The main issue we had was the owner had a camera mounted up in the backyard pointed directly at the hot tub. Believe me, I get as far as an owner goes wanting to make sure nothing is going on while the house is not being rented out BUT as far as being parent goes it’s very disturbing and strange that it was not mentioned in the listing info. My husband moved the camera away from the view of the hot tub and we immediately got a rather direct message saying not to touch it and they would send a maintance guy over right away to put it back. Having our teenage daughter in the hot tub while someone could be watching her, UM NO!! This camera was NOT mentioned in the overall description of the property so we feel we have a right to be upset because it was part of the appeal of the home. Regardless to say, the hot tub was not used by us.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Kami. We're glad you found the house nice and clean, and enjoyed the private beach access. We want to clarify that our listing does mention the presence of a camera for security purposes, and the hot tub is not intended for guest use. We value your input and appreciate your understanding.
