A couple of friends and myself come down each February for a week of golf. We stayed at fishbait two years ago and loved it’s perfect location for accessing great restaurants and golf courses. The bikes are a great extra paddling to seaside is no problem.
It was a wonderful place to stay for my niece's wedding. Very clean and comfy beds! Renting a golf cart is a must if you don't have a car to get to the beach and restaurants.
We had a girls trip with 6 people and this house was perfect! Well stocked, convenient location to the beach, short walk to restaurants and shopping. Management communicated thoroughly. Would definitely stay here again!
Great location for great food, great golf, great beaches.
The beautifully renovated property was a joy to wake up in, and a pleasure to enjoy the company of good friends. I wish I could hire the same company to do renovations at our house in St. Louis. A perfect week.
There was enough space for everyone, and it was very clean. The pool was very fun for days we didn’t go to the beach. Very close to good restaurants and shops.

Pros: Excellent location, pool, great soft beds, 30A management highly responsive. Cons: only small things involving property condition such as dishwasher not working, sink backing up, rugs sliding when walked on, lounge chairs hard to get out of, and kitchen lacking some expected basics. Overall: I would go again!!!!

We appreciate you noting the smaller maintenance items as well. The dishwasher and sink issues have since been resolved, and we’ll be doing a full kitchen inventory soon to ensure all expected essentials are on hand. We’re also reviewing the condition of rugs and lounge chairs to improve comfort and safety where needed.
We’re so glad you’d return, and we’d love the opportunity to welcome you back again soon!

Great place to stay! You have easy access to the beach and restaurants. The private pool was great for the kids. The house has very clean and well layed out for our family. We plan on staying there again before the year is over. We couldn’t have asked for a better place and location for our stay.
This house was perfect! We had 6 adults and 3 children, and Fish Bait had more than enough space to accommodate our group. The house is beautifully designed and decorated in addition to being spotless. The pool area was excellent as well. We had one issue with a shower, and the property manager had someone out to the home that day to fix the issue. A perfect spot for a getaway with family and/or friends. Highly recommend!

Fish bait is a nice house in a good location. We enjoyed riding our bikes to the beach, Seaside or Blue Mountain. The pool is a good size and the kids enjoyed playing in it. The rooms and bathrooms were spacious with plenty of towels and linens.
Had a wonderful experience at Fish Bait! Property was even better than the pics, felt very at home and had everything provided that we needed (toilet paper, paper towels, dish pods, laundry detergent). Only a few short blocks to the beach or a quick bike ride. Check in process all done through the hospitality app and we had several texts from rental company ensuring we were satisfied with our stay. Thanks again for a memorable trip, we will be back soon!

We rented this house for my moms birthday and had the best time! Everything inside the house was beautiful, clean, and spacious. The bikes were in great condition and we rode them all over town but you can also walk pretty much everywhere. We also loved having the pool. We would absolutely go back and rent this house again!
