Stay was great!!

Great time had by all wonderful place. Be sure if you are a clean freak like me bring your own cleaning supplies, paper goods( toilet paper, paper towel,) if you do not get the linen package. Make sure to bring sheets King, Queen, and 2 Twin… hand towels, kitchen towels, bath towels, washcloths. However, don’t over pack they have a great washer and dryer.

Really liked the layout of the house. It was very comfortable for my family and friends to be in. Amazing view from the balcony over looking the gulf. The only negative that I really have on the house is you could feel every move from others in the house. While sitting in the living room you could feel someone walking up the stairs from outside. Definitely limited personal time for me and the wife.

The location and access to beach are great and we love staff at Swedes. We did encounter several issues however. The only door is so hard to open that you have to slam your shoulder into it to open and kids couldn’t open at all. The house is very, very worn and is in need of paint and updates. There are stains on the walls, specifically in hall bath, baseboards are dirty, bathroom sinks and toilets don’t drain properly, trash can is rusted and appliances are worn out. Kitchen is not well stocked with utensils, baking dishes and there are zero baking sheets. Mattress in queen room is so sunken in the middle that you literally roll inwards, comforter is stained and dust ruffle is ripped apart. There is broken outdoor furniture and grills are basically unusable. We were asked if we reported that the house needed cleaned but we did not want house being cleaned while we were there and feel that these issues should have been noticed and addressed before guests arrive. Overall we had a great time but would have liked the house to be better equipped, maintained and comfortable. Will choose a different property in the future.

An Unforgettable Labor Day at Wave N Sea! The start of a new fami

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at the Wave N Sea beach house over Labor Day weekend was an absolute dream from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting to kick off what will now be our annual family tradition. This house is truly spectacular, and the memories we made here will be cherished for years to come.From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the stunning nautical decor and the immaculate condition of the home. The ocean view is absolutely breathtaking, and we spent countless hours relaxing on the deck, listening to the waves, and enjoying the perfect weather. The beach access is incredibly easy, making it simple to get our toes in the sand whenever we pleased.The kitchen was a joy to cook in and was stocked with everything we needed to prepare our family's favorite meals. The open floor plan and large dining table were perfect for our entire family to gather for memorable dinners and board games. It felt incredibly spacious, with more than enough room for everyone to spread out comfortably.What really sets Wave N Sea apart is the feeling of being at home. It's clear that so much thought and care has gone into making this a special place. We loved having everything we needed, from beach chairs to comfy blankets, and felt completely at ease throughout our stay.Thank you for providing the perfect backdrop for our new Labor Day tradition. We are already looking at our calendars and can't wait to book our return trip next year!

This place was great! Good location, with easy beach access, and clean. Only downside that was not listed was sheets were not included & you had to pay extra for that, and toilet paper/paper towels were not included. We were not made aware of this until after booking, but it was an overall great experience and place to stay!

Overwhelmingly Surprised!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wave n' Sea is the PERFECT beach house! It was clean, bright, NEW and the perfect layout for our family!! The beach house was literal perfection! The only 'complaint' is there isn't direct beach access and it gets PACKED. We also didn't like that vehicles were allowed to drive on the beach as we witnessed several accidents.
