Great Relaxing Stay!

Great amenities such as porch swings and outdoor shower. We enjoyed swinging on the screened porch and the view. A huge plus for us was being able to bring our dog.

Poor Experience

We were disappointed with Beachball Properties and the Gumbo YaYa house. When we arrived I reported an issue with the outdoor shower needing repair and no one ever responded thus making it difficult to rinse off after time at the beach. The floors were filthy and our feet turned black just walking around indoors. We had cockroaches and the house needs a great deal of repairs. There were loose nails and deck screws on the deck that our grandchildren stepped on and needed attention. The outside of the home is in poor shape and full of rust and it looks like an uncared for property. This was not a good overall experience. The screened in porch and beach views made our stay tolerable.

The house is in need of quite a few updates. There were some updates. The house is pet friendly, but did not expect it to smell like dog urine. The couch smelled and has stains too. All the furniture is out dated and uncomfortable. The beds were uncomfortable and are queen size, not king size, as was listed in description. It is very peaceful and quiet and a short walk to public beach access.The additional bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and small.living area is on the back side and not accessible from main living quarters. It is like a small apartment with no kitchen, just a small apartment fridge.The.outside area was dirty and trash all over. Very unkemped. I.would not recommended this house.

If you really want to be away, this is the place for you. While there are neighbors, we were there at a time when it is only snowbirds so quiet days and nights the whole time.The porch is screened in (a few panels need to be replaced before big season) and the outer deck has safety fencing so we felt fine letting the dog roam free in the sun with no fear of her getting out. I think the same would hold true for younger childrenAccess the beach was great. Dogs allowed so could walk her there.The beach is very nice. Ample fishing opportunities from the beach or on the bay side near the golf course. The kitchen was not well appointed. There was no usable cutting board, the pans were not given much thought, I think this last statement describes how the kitchen was appointed. The master bath has plenty of space and is nicely remodeled. Every bed room has a bathroom which I think would be nice for a larger group.While the quiet is nice, be aware, it will take you an hour round trip to get groceries, or do anything in town. There is not much, other than the beach.

Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review—we truly appreciate you sharing your experience. We’re glad you enjoyed the quiet, peaceful setting and beach access, as well as the screened porch and outdoor space—especially for your dog. It’s great to hear the layout with private bathrooms and the updated master bath worked well for your stay. We do apologize that the kitchen was not as well-equipped as expected and appreciate you bringing that to our attention. Your feedback will be shared with the team for improvements. Thank you as well for highlighting the remote location, as it can be a great fit for guests looking to truly relax and unplug. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay overall and hope to welcome you back again! 🌊🏖️

Gumbo Yaya review

The rental listing was very misleading! We booked this house over another we were looking at bc this one was 3 king rooms & 3.5 baths. If we would have known one king room was not accessible thru the main house only by the back deck or garage and one of the “king” rooms was actually a full with a half bath we would have never booked this house! Also the pictures on the listing are way better than what you actually get! This house needs alot of work. We will more than likely never use beachball rentals again.
