We previously discussed/ communicated the basement/ ground level unit issues as unusable due to strong cleaners/ dank smelling, and requested a partial refund…We would definitely rent again, such a beautiful setting, assuming we can resolve this one issue. Thanks Al

Family Vacation

The house was perfect for a large family vacation but the beach was very rocky which made it difficult to enjoy.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Sept 2023
Thank you for your review, and for sharing your impressions of the home with others. It's certainly true that there is a rocky bluff directly between the home and the oceanfront beach. In fact, the rocky bluff is so prominent that when viewing the photos in the listing -- or watching the aerial video in the listing -- you can't miss it. Moreover, were it not for that bluff -- which prevents erosion -- these homes might not exist at all, nor would the ridiculous 360-degree water views be available. Fortunately, there's swimmable beach just 75 feet away, on either side of the home. (also evident in the photography). Note: We often host visitors who tell us that they booked the home based solely on word of mouth and B.H.I.P.'s reputation for stellar and responsive service . . . and consequently didn't pay much attention to the photography. (There's even a name for this: "Booking without Looking" . . . it's what happens when your friend tells you, "I just stayed at this amazing place on the beach. You should stay there, you will love it". ) While it's an honor to know that we are trusted in that way, we don't recommend "booking without looking". We encourage everybody considering any Beach House in Paradise to carefully study all the photos and videos and other information available in this listing, And feel free to ask questions before booking, too! Thank you again for your kind review. We'll see you next year!

Great house with AMAZING views!!! We had 12 adults in our group and the space was perfect! Had problems with the air conditioning and key pad in the apartment. We texted the property manager, and he responded very quickly and had people there within 20 minutes to get them fixed. Would highly recommend staying here!

Great Location - Great house for family stays

This home is absolutely spectacular. On one side you have the ocean on the other you have the bay we had family ranging in age from less than two to over 80 and everyone had a wonderful time. The addition of the resort pass to the Marriott was great. We used it frequently to go to the beach as well as to go to the pool. Gave us a lot of options. The house was really well stocked and everything was very nice. Highly recommend.

Great way to relax!

Our family had a great time at Carpe Diem. For the price we usually have more updated amenities but you can’t beat the views and all the toys that come with property. It’s a pretty special place.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Sept 2023
Thank you for your kind review, and sharing your impressions of the home with others. As we discussed during your stay, it was unfortunate that some of the free amenities at the nearby Marriott resort (ncluded free with your weeklong stay at Carpe Diem) weren't up to their usual standard. The four-star resort changed hands (new ownership) a few months before your stay, and the new owners quickly performed some minor restoration work in Spring 2022. That put a bit of a damper on enjoying the three resort-style swimming pools, 13-court private tennis complex, fitness centers and private 18-hole golf course. We'll see you next time!

Fantastic House and Location

The property is in immaculate shape and all the amenities provided give you the resort feel with the privacy of your own home. The location is great for a quiet retreat and you cannot beat the beachfront views. The house feels much larger in person than the pictures and plenty of rooms for a large family or group. The host is very responsive and helpful. Highly recommended and we will definitely rebook next time we are Stuart, FL bound.

Perfection!

Our stay at Carpe Diem was perfect. The house was stocked with everything but groceries which made it so easy to start our vacation as soon as we arrived. We spent our days kayaking, paddle boarding, beach walking, fishing and playing games. It was the perfect spot for an extended family vacation. We can’t wait to return.
