Great Location, but Not Worth the Luxury PriceThe location is wonderful—about 7–8 miles from Pier Park, close enough to enjoy everything but far enough from the crowds. The beach is beautiful and peaceful because there are no nearby condos or major public beach accesses.The house has plenty of sleeping space for a large group, but the three-story layout is not ideal for small children, elderly guests, or anyone with back or leg problems. There are many stairs and no bedrooms on the bottom floor.Unfortunately, the home’s condition did not match the price. There were scuffed walls, a damaged patio door frame, dresser drawers that would not stay closed unless taped, and an outlet that appeared unsafe.Our biggest disappointment was the major renovation next door. Construction continued all day, workers were cutting directly outside the decks across from us, and trash and debris frequently came onto our side. This eliminated much of our privacy and should have been disclosed before booking.Someone, from the host company also came onto the back of the property without notice while our family was gathered there. The rental company later wanted to send a realtor to inspect and walk through the home during our stay. Guests paying this much should be able to enjoy their vacation without unexpected visitors or walkthroughs.The beach and location are the best features, but overall, we paid a five-star luxury price for what felt like a three- to four-star rental.
