Picturesque Beach House

The house was so fresh and beachy. Beyond well equipped, the owners have really thought of everything. Private beach access is really a plus. Best beach EVER!!! We were so comfortable/happy/sun kissed. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful family trip

We had a wonderful family trip combining two families with 4 adults (siblings and spouses) and 5 children (cousins)! We had ample room for sleeping and lounging and enjoyed all the amenities included with the property. We loved the mostly private beach and pools where we got to enjoy our kids playing without having to be nervous of losing them in large crowds like at other beaches. We cannot say enough about the location, property and property manager! We will definitely be back!

A nice getaway

The property was pretty. But dealing with bears (not mentioned online) and trash cans, then an on the fritz A/C was not expected. You are also prohibited from having a fish fry which was also not listed online. Luckily, we didn't catch much of anything on our fishing trip.The property manager was really nice and very responsive. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. The walk to the beach wasn't too bad.

Perfect Stay at Sweet Tea

We come to 30A twice a year. We are very familiar with the area. We absolutely loved our stay. The walk to the beach was beautiful. The house was adorable and beautiful. My kids loved the bunk room. The neighborhood was adorable and so quiet. One of the biggest 5 star things I would give this house is how well stocked this house is. We have stayed in so many homes, this house had — beach towels, spices, throw blankets, coolers, beach chairs, sand toys, wagons, it had so much!! I am still so blown away by how well stocked it was. I have never expierence that amazingness. We truly appreciated it and treated everything with respect. Our stay was perfection. I truly hope we can stay here again!

Picture Perfect Week!

Wow! What an amazing week we had! We had stayed in this neighborhood last year in a different house, and we were just so thrilled to be able to stay in the same neighborhood again this year, but this house was perfect in all the right ways! We especially loved the close proximity to the private beach access and the free beach towels that were provided. We had one small issue with our front door getting stuck, but Donna the property manager came over and helped fix it within 15 minutes. My wife and I both have stressful jobs, so it was nice to be able to spend some time together to de-stress, and it is so nice that one of our sets of parents could also come along. We just so love the 30A area, and we will most definitely be returning to this property again in the future!

Wonderful stay!

House was nicely furnished and the on-hand beach items for use was definitely a bonus. Kitchen is a little tight for 2 families prepping food but the location was great and we enjoyed the preserve community.

Perfect location

Sweet Tea by the Sea was perfect. We’ve stayed at many vacation rentals and this had to have been the cleanest we’ve ever stayed in. That’s high on my list when vacationing. The house was nicely decorated and it has a beautiful walk down to the beach. I think one of my favorite little touches they had available for their guest was beach towels. One less thing I had to pack for a family of 4. Sadly our trip ended sooner than we expected with our son breaking his arm the first day on the beach. We hope to come back soon. Thank you to the wonderful property manager Donna for all your help in time of need. She was great!

What makes this property unique

Only 4 houses from the pool and the private, shaded beach boardwalk. There are no stairs from the house to the beach making it easy to bring a cooler, beach cart, etc with you. You can't beat this location with a quiet neighborhood, private beach access and pristine beaches with minimal traffic!
