Such an amazing house in a picture perfect setting! We were 4 couples, including a couple young children, in the area for a wedding. Each couple had plenty of room to themself while the downstairs featured a wonderful common space for everyone to enjoy time together. The kitchen and double-sided fireplace were highlights, as was the beautiful wrap around porch. Would absolutely recommend and we hope to return ourselves in the future!

Thank you, Kayla! We’re so glad to hear you had a great time and found the property convenient for your family. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to host you again!
Our family had a wonderful time at the house. The house was very spacious and clean. We loved how quiet the neighborhood seemed and how close inconvenient it was to the Hub, Alys Beach, and Rosemary. The walk down to the beach was super easy and the beach was beautiful. We will definitely be staying at this house again.

Hello, James! We're happy to hear that you had such a wonderful time at our property. We love hosting families, and we look forward to hosting you again soon.
We had a terrific experience. The house is spacious, has a great layout, very nice amenities and appliances, and is in an awesome location. We loved the Watersound community, and it was idyllic for walking and biking around the area. We’ll definitely be back.

Thank you for the fantastic review, Jonathan! We’re so happy to hear that you had a terrific experience and enjoyed the spacious layout, great amenities, and the wonderful location. It’s great that you were able to explore the beautiful Watersound community by walking and biking – it really is an idyllic spot! We look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable stay.
The Parker was well-stocked. Not only was it super clean and spacious, but the home included extras of the "essentials" that guests typically need throughout the week (dishwashing tablets, laundry detergent, trash bags). The location was convenient to the beach and the amenities in WaterSound. Thanks for a memorable Thanksgiving vacation for our families!

Thanks for the awesome review, Candice! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we’re happy to hear we hit the mark for you. We look forward to hosting you and your guests soon!
The house was exactly as pictured, if not better! Everyone had plenty of space without being on top of each other. The host was also kind enough to leave welcoming gifts, which was very kind. The beach accessories made for an easy trip to and from the beach. Would definitely stay in this lovely home again!

nice house. wish there was more than one king bed because there were 2 couples and our 4 daughters. rooms were large enough to have another master bedroom.
Great house. Everything was as advertised. Only negative was the cell service was poor to non existent when in the house. Would definitely recommend to others and would rent again ourselves.
Beautiful home in a great community! Host was extremely helpful and inviting. I dropped my wallet in the driveway on our way to the fishing boat. A neighbor found it and returned it. Highly recommend staying here and will rent it again.

Happy you enjoyed this wonderful home! We'd love to host you again next time.
House was perfect for us to be able to spread out. We had a few working during the week so the desk areas were perfect.
Only thing that would be nice to have is more information regarding amenities ie chair service, pool, key fobs etc. and having a golf cart would add to the overall guest experience. Very relaxing environment. Would definitely return. Highly recommend.

A few suggestions
The Carriage house needs hooks, tables etc for guests to put their belongings. Very difficult to lay your things out in and function well.

Thank you for taking the time to review and for sharing your experience with us, Jodie. Rest assured that we will consider your feedback to improve our services even further.
This Home should get 10 stars! Absolutely wonderful! Our family of 6 (2 elderly parents, my husband and our 2 teenagers) absolutely loved this home! It was comfortable, spacious, quiet (and by quiet-I mean the insulation was great!) if TV was going on in another room, we could take nap easily)
While this wasn’t a beach view, we LOVED this neighborhood! Easy bike ride or walk to the beach/pool! The grounds on the property were beautiful! And the pizza place right on the property was fantastic! A short car/bike ride (or leisure walk) to the Big Chill was a hit for our teens!
I give this house A+++!!! The Smith Family❤️

We are glad to hear that you so thoroughly enjoyed your stay with us, Lisa! It makes us happy to know that there were so many things about the home, amenities, and neighborhood that contributed to your trip. Thank you for staying with us, and we look forward to hosting you again soon.
Everything about the house was great and exactly as advertised. The only problem we experienced in the house was the wifi made you connect to the property management account. That would not be bad except every hour it kicked you off the system and you had to install your name, email and birthdate to reconnect. If you plan on working from home this can be a major challenge.

The house is big and has great spaces. The location in WaterSound Beach is gorgeous with lovely beach access. The house decor is older and very “used” but I expected this for the very reasonable price. The issue I had was with the property management company. When we arrive a key was missing from one of the lock boxes (carriage house), there was no hot water in most of the bathrooms, and the outside spaces of the house were really dirty. The hot water took days to resove and I spent a lot of time talking to an overseas call center before finally getting to a local team. The inside of the house was mostly clean but insides of drawers, small appliances, and some surfaces were covered in dust, crumbs, and hair. The carriage house is a great space but there is nowhere to put clothes (no closet, drawers, or even hooks). This was really inconvenient and people staying there had to borrow closet space in other rooms. The supplies that were supposed to be included were inconsistent (broken shampoo dispensers), decaf coffee only, no coffee filters etc. overall, I felt the house was good value for the price, but if you are expecting a luxury VRBO 30A experience, it is a bit disappointing.

Absolutely loved this home & community! Quiet & conveniently located! Loved riding bikes around the community and nice strolls to & from the beach! Everything was perfect!
