Great little house right on the beach! Would definitely stay here again. There are a few houses right beside each other that would be perfect for a few families to vacation together but still have their own space.

Thank you so much for the great review! We’re glad you loved the beachfront location—and you’re absolutely right, the neighboring homes make it perfect for groups traveling together while still having their own space. We’d love to have you back anytime!

Perfect Area

It’s in a great spot. Steps away from the beach, pretty centralized. Allowed for a late checkout/good communication but gave us our space. Clean property, fast wifi, cold AC in 95° heat, can’t really complain. Plumbing a bit wonky but other than that it was worth it and I would definitely come back!

It's a decent place. Has been renovated for sure but it is an older building. The front door doesn't open all the way so we had a really tough time getting luggage in. Parts of the roof kept blowing off into our car because there was stormy weather. Would like to note that the other bathroom is actually outside downstairs in the carport area. The bedrooms are insanely small. Getting dressed in there as a fully grown adult, especially if you have a large suitcase, was a challenge daily. The bathroom inside is also very very small. Luckily it was just my husband and I. I can't imagine having more than two people in this house, space wise. The beds and couch were also incredibly uncomfortable for total opposite reasons. And beware. It is a shared beach access with the house that's actually beachfront in front of this one. I'm not sure if they don't convey this to the people who rent the front house but we got attitude from the two different families that were there the entire week. We actually only went out to the beach two or three times over the span of 7 days but literally every time they acted like we were intruding. It was just a weird setup. Also, the way this house is marketed, it kind of implies that it is beachfront and it is definitely not. You can't see the beach from the house unless you're on your tiptoes on one corner of the balcony.

Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us. We appreciate your comments and are always looking for ways to make the guest experience even better. We would like to clarify a couple of points for future guests. During this stay, a tropical storm came through the area, bringing unusually strong winds and severe weather. Some of the soffit was coming off. We were not made aware during the stay of anything from the property striking or damaging the guest's vehicle. We are sorry you were disappointed with the size of the home that has been extensively renovated, and its size and layout are accurately represented in the listing photos and description. The second bathroom is noted in our description as being located downstairs. We are sorry to hear there was confusion regarding the beach access. The home is not directly beachfront, but guests do have access to the beach through the designated shared beach access. We certainly want every guest to feel comfortable using that access. There is a partial view of the beach through a large window in the home. No tip toes needed. We appreciate the feedback and are glad the guests were able to spend a week enjoying the area despite the storms during their visit.

Beach Boys Getaway

We came for the Beach Boys concert and to enjoy some time on the beach. The weather didn't want to cooperate but the house was lovely and very comfortable. It was nice to have beach towels and chairs provided for our use. The kitchen was even stocked with coffee and sugar, however I recommend Indian Shores coffee shop just down the road, great muffins. I would recommend a bath mat for the bathroom, the towels are to nice to put on the floor and shaving the bottom of the bedroom door, as it drags on your nice floors. Wonderful place and location and hope to return again.

Better than photos

Was nervous about the set up/shared pathway to beach with 3 young children but it worked out better than expected! The grilling center, outdoor shower n bathroom were super convenient. Photos are good but 'in person' is much better! The decor is perfect and the kitchen had everything needed (except a can opener lol) Great appliances and the sink was fantastic! Plenty of beach toys/chairs/umbrellas were available for us to use. Recommend ordering pizza from Slyce, they offer free delivery also!

Ants, beds, musty

We had messaged about concerns of ants. They were EVERYWHERE. Their response was "We are aware of the ants. Just seal everything up and keep everything in the fridge." It was AWFULLLLLL. They were crawling on dishes in the cabinets, all in the mircowave, etc. AWFUL. The bests were TERRIBLE. Our child could not even lay on the bed in the back bedroom without it making the loudest sounds. Every time she rolled over it woke up the whole house. It was miserable, so we all three had to sleep in the other bedroom. We couldn't even sleep in the living area on an air mattress because of the ants!!! And then let's talk about the trash! The neighbors mentioned on arrival no one had picked up the trash while they had been there a week. It was OVERFLOWING the 4 trash bins. We notified the company. They too said "Oh they will get to it!!" Two days before we left they were picked up, but trash was piled up! And then-- the smell. The house smelled like a dirty wet gym sock. It was soooo musty it was almost unbearable. Like I was afraid for our lungs. I am sure we all have a fungal infection now in our lungs. The air vents were NASTY. NEVER AGAIN!!!

The guest did have some problems with the ants. This guest stayed with us two weeks after Hurricane Idalia. Our properties along the beach experienced small ‘sugar’ ants appear since their habitat was wiped out by the hurricane. They are very small and only congregate around food. We have addressed with an exterminator, and it is no longer an issue. The garbage was from workers still cleaning up debris from the beach. It was unfortunate at the time, all the properties along the beach were delayed with garbage pick-up. Not sure what the reference to a stale smell in the house. The home is not musty as stated and there is not a smell, the guest didn’t contact us about this issue. The squeaky bed just needed some bolts tightened. Again we wished the guest would have notified us. We appreciate the feedback and are sorry for the negative experience the guest had. We always strive to give our guests an enjoyable experience.
