Beach Front

We loved the seahorse beach house. If I had to make any recommendations, I would say put a blind on the door for privacy, and some blackout blinds in the bedrooms for lights in the evening.

Beach house review

Great beach access. Walk to restaurants. Adjacent properties under construction- noise in early morning. House needs some updates but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Quiet and close to beach

This was a perfect rental for a short term stay. The property was just a few steps from the beach and a very short walk to restaurants, etc. The screened in porch was lovely! The only issues with this particular property was that due to proximity of other properties, it was necessary to keep the blinds closed most all day. This wasn’t a big issue, as we were outside most of the time, but it was a bit claustrophobic. A privacy blind needs to be added to the door; we covered it up with a towel. Also please be aware that the renter does not supply soap, dishwashing detergent, toilet paper, etc.

Almost 5 star

I would give this property a 5 star review but there are some minor things. First, the check-in process. The instructions say to go to the rental office to pick up your key. There is no key! You get a form with several codes (front door, laundry room door) instructions, dos and don’t etc. there is no reason to go to an office to pick up that stuff when it could be sent in an email. It’s a tad inconvenient especially when you’ve already been driving for 6+ hrs. Secondly, the bed frame for the king size bed is VERY squeaky! Anytime one person moves it shakes the entire bed and squeaks=sleepless nights and the door to the master bedroom also squeaks loudly when opening and closing. Please please fix these!!! Third, the shower head is tiny, water pressure is so so. Those are the reasons I did not give cottage #3 a 5 star. The cottage is in a great location, has a fabulous screen porch, is very clean, has adequate parking. I loved being able to do our laundry before traveling home, cooking our dinners on the grills and watching the beautiful Gulf sunsets!
