Thank you for your feedback Amanda! We’re glad the beds, furniture, TVs, washer/dryer, ice, and fans worked well. The home is professionally cleaned between every stay (including the morning of your arrival). Arrival-day photos/video show all beach gear was in working order—with several items new - and we do set it up and inspect it before every guest. We’re sorry about the toilet and fridge temperature issues; we would have helped right away if contacted during your stay. Note: sea grass areas are required by the County for storm protection and cannot be trimmed. We regularly clear/trim the other landscaping in spring and fall. The antique china is a personal choice of the homeowners (family pieces). Our goal is always a comfortable, well-maintained experience, and feedback like yours helps us keep improving. For future guests - If you have questions or need help with something - please know we’re available and ready to assist—reaching out during the stay is the fastest way for us to help. Thanks again! Bart & Sue

Thanks for staying with us Barb - we are very happy you enjoyed your stay at The Beach Bum! Safe Travels, Bart, Jeff & Sue

Thanks for staying with us Amy! You must have missed our description where we said we have new living room furniture ordered - and just waiting on delivery! As far as regular home upkeep - we do it all the time so not sure what you had an issue with! It is always a challenge keeping up with sand & salt air for sure! We always encourage guests to fully read the entire description and if you have questions - feel free to ask before booking! Always happy to answer! Safe Travels! Bart, Jeff & Sue

Thank you for staying with us! We are very happy you enjoyed Beach Bum! You guys were great guests! Safe Travels! Bart, Jeff & Sue

Thanks for staying with us Sara - we are very happy you enjoyed everything! We do spot treat the carpet areas as best as we can and we do regular full carpet cleaning as well! Unfortunately some stains are a challenge to completely remove! We hope you visit us at The Beach Bum again sometime! Thanks so much! Bart, Jeff & Sue

Thanks for staying with us Jamie! Yes - we are The Beach Bum and our listing & photos are representative of our home! There are also many high-end homes on the beach guests can choose from as well - but we are being true to our name and giving a great location and our beautiful beach - toes in the sand! Thanks so much for staying with us! Bart, Jeff & Sue

Guests that leave retaliatory reviews when there are texts, emails, video arrival inspection, photos from arrival inspection and then attempt to do this and sabotage someone's private home/listing are why guests get banned from listing sites. Guests arrived at 4:40pm and proceeded to be there for over 6 1/2 hours, leaving the sliding door to the beach open and a bunch of lights on - and those little beetles that you frequently see in coastal communities that feed on pollen and nectar from flowers & vegetation and are attracted to white light at night, came right in and began attaching to all lights that were on in the upstairs level. They are harmless to humans and animals and are just an annoying pain. But you shouldn't leave doors open! Then you message at midnight about the issue and made the choice to leave on your own, before ever speaking to us. So now, there is a long list of "issues" to try and make your story more plausible. Thanks so much - we have regular pest service, maintenance and upkeep of the Beach Bum, unfortunately, sometimes we get bad guests. We look forward to hosting our next great guests! Thank you!

Oh how we wish we could attach proof of text messages, etc. in these situations! We are also very happy we can restrict guests from ever staying with us again-as hosts-we too have a choice! This guest arrived the evening of the 19th-we were contacted the morning of the 20th. Our 5 month old refrigerator had an issue with the timer switch-it was repaired that afternoon of the 20th. We purchased 3 coolers, ice & also provided a Publix Gift Card to the guest. (we noted that wasn't mentioned in her review). We confirmed the AM of the 21st that it was cooling & were told "it was working perfectly". We said thanks & asked that our coolers be left in the garage. The guest departed the 22nd; we went to clean up & the coolers weren't there. We called & texted asking where they were-received no response. We provided a copy of the receipt for the 3 coolers. And yes, even though they are styrofoam, they have a cost to them! They were provided to the guest to use during their stay, not to take home with them. Which is why we specified to leave them in the garage. So on the 23rd, in accordance with the booking agreement that the guest signed with her reservation, she was charged for the coolers that belonged to us. Maintenance issues that are out of our control, do happen-we always do our very best to respond as quickly as possible and provide solutions & get things repaired. That doesn't give the guest the right to take our things, especially when told not to. Thanks for reading!

Thank you for choosing The Beach Bum and for your feedback. We're sorry the home didn't fully meet your expectations regarding upkeep. As described in our listing, The Beach Bum is a charming rustic, old Florida-style oceanfront beach home—not a newly renovated modern luxury property. We offer it as one of the best values directly on the beach, with immediate sand access, stunning Atlantic views, two decks with hammocks, a chiminea, beach gear, and a relaxed coastal vibe that many families enjoy. We take maintenance and upkeep very seriously. Our team conducts regular inspections to verify everything is working properly, we recently installed brand new carpet throughout the home, and we perform professional cleanings along with pest control suited to Florida’s coastal environment. Feedback like this helps us continue improving. We hope the prime beachfront location and ocean sounds created some positive memories during your stay. Thanks so much, Bart & Sue

Bart & Sue
