Not terrible

This place is just OK. Lots of small issues that added up…….floors not cleaned thoroughly (glass on bedroom floor), front bed dips in center, both tvs did not work, limited supplies (like just one trash bag.), etc. Location was fabulous. The place needs some attention overall.

The home was filthy and all the outdoor furniture was rusty and unusable. Overall it was an awful.

This property needs so much work. Not only was the outside furniture not usable and dirty it was dangerous, the paint was all peeling and rusty and you could get cut on it. The barbecue was dirty and you couldn't use it. Inside none of the blinds worked and if you wanted any light you had to open each slat by hand, they were so caked with dust that your hands were black afterwards. The shower curtains were orange at the bottom due to the build up of scum. The carpet from the bedrooms had been removed and some paint had been slapped on the concrete. There was an inch drop from all the other floors in the home, this made it very dangerous. I actually fell and hurt my knees, I wasn't able to get around for a couple of days. All the furniture had throws on them and were all stained. The back yard had a dining table but again it was all rusty and hadn't been cleaned. The yard wasn't mowed until the night before we left, but there was no way to utilize the outdoor area anyway. When you rent you pay a cleaning fee and you expect that you are going to get a clean home. You end up paying as much as a five star hotel with all the extra fees and this in no way is worth that kind of expense. It is a rental agency ( Emerald Coast) that is renting this through VRBO so they know of all these problems so I will never rent from them again if this is there standard rental practice. We had saved to take this vacation before my husband was put on dialysis as he won't be able to travel freely anymore. It was a complete disappointment. I expected a clean and comfortable home to enjoy for our last vacation!! Shame on Emerald Coast management for what they are doing to travelers, I had even rented from them before so I wasn't concerned but never again. I will make sure that all our friends will be aware of their practices.

It’s ok

The master has No extra bedding. One fitted sheet, one flat sheet and a comforter that is a little thicker than the flat sheet. 2 extra pillows but no pillow cases. We had to use the couch sheets to cover up more. The guest room did have a small blanket that helped. The golf included is an hour to an hour and a half away. There’s 3 options for golf and 2 of the places had open tee times. And there’s a company that books your tee times for you. The regatta beach golf one was nice. No beach towels. Check out is at 10 which most places is 11. The girl definitely let me know that as we were pulling out!!! Has enough laundry detergent which is like I don’t even know what brand for 2 loads of laundry. Didn’t cook much there so don’t know about the kitchen situation. The beach rental credit was helpful. They dropped it off and came and got it. Def won’t stay here again because there is no one to contact if u need anything and also the way the girl acted when we were pulling out. I mean it was ok clean wise. When u pull up its like a trailer park and we were like oh boy. But the house is cute and the driveway is grass so it’s confusing. I didn’t know if we were supposed to park on the grass but there’s nowhere else to park. The walk to the beach isn’t too far but there’s no parking for a golf cart or a vehicle over there until about 3:30 or after. The beach rental credit thing was nice because the chairs had straps on them like a backpack. We got the wagon thing but that was hard to haul up and down the stairs. So it was easier for everyone to just carry something. For the price it was ok. There’s places similar in price that we’ve enjoyed more. U just have to book early enough. You’re too far from everything to walk. So rent a car or golf cart for sure.

Cute little bungalow

Stayed 5 days to enjoy some biking and sunshine. Super cute little home. Very clean and close to 30A. We really liked the privacy and safety. We were able to pull a enclosed trailer for our bicycles and there was plenty of room to park it. Mgmt was wonderful and easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay there again.

Grandchildren graduation and birthday

Great location. Close to public beach. Had a BarBQ pit and crock pot. Would have liked a welcome book explaining TVs and some details. Also would have liked some minor amenities like coffee filters, salt and pepper, and beach chairs and towels.

More stressful than relaxing

We love this area and ever since I moved away, we travel back every year and stay for a few days. I know the area is growing and all the trailers are being bought out and replaced with big fancy vacation rentals, so the surrounding trailer houses didn’t bother me at all. It was also very very close to a beautiful beach access. Unfortunately we had a not so pleasant stay. The home was very dirty, very dirty! Our feet were black after walking in the home for the first 20 minutes of being there. The dishes in the drawers and cabinets were very dirty as well. They didn’t even look as though someone had rinsed them off. Due to the food on the plates and utensils, it attracted bugs. There were sooo many small bugs in the drawers and cabinets. We basically had to re-wash everything. There was a smoke detector chirping for our entire stay. The internet kept dropping which was very frustrating when we were trying to work. The blinds were all busted up, as well as the fish decor on the wall (you can see the busted up fish if you look really carefully in the pictures, don’t be deceived). There was absolutely no cleaning supplies and an empty bottle of dish soap. As far as comfort goes, it’s really hard to feel comfortable in a dirty home that has tons of bugs, and chirping smoke detectors, in addition the bedding was very hard and uncomfortable. If you’re looking for a stress free vacation (as they should be) I wouldn’t recommend this rental. We also had our beach gear stolen from the front porch. We came back from the beach and set our life vests, and other beach gear on the porch while we went inside to eat lunch. Came back outside an hour later to our items being stolen. (Our personal items, not the rental gear). This of course is not a result of the rental, but it does give an indication of the surrounding people, there is basically no foot traffic on this road, we just saw workers driving by all day. I gave a 2 star review because of the vacation rental gear and the ease of getting to the beach, otherwise it would be a 1 Star.

Summer vacation

The house was very nice and cute! The neighborhood wasn't as nice. It was mostly surrounded by trailers. We wish there had been a neighborhood pool. My husband did enjoy playing golf and we enjoyed the beach gear credit that came with the house.
