About this property

Walk to Beach | Bikes + Beach Gear

Bikini Bottom is made for easy beach days. Tucked into a quiet Emerald Isle cul-de-sac, this 3-bedroom cottage puts you within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, grocery stores, and local shops — and it comes stocked with the gear that makes getting to the sand even easier.

Bikes, beach chairs, sand toys, an umbrella, cooler, and wagon are all provided, so you can spend less time packing and more time enjoying the island.

WALKABLE TO THE BEACH — AND MORE
Leave the car parked and explore on foot or by bike.

From Bikini Bottom, you can walk to the beach, grab groceries, stop for a bite to eat, or browse nearby shops without turning every outing into a drive.

When you're beach-bound, load the wagon with the provided chairs, umbrella, cooler, and sand toys and head for the ocean.

A QUIET PLACE TO COME HOME TO
After a day out, the furnished deck gives you an easy place to relax, catch the evening breeze, and unwind.

Inside, the comfortable living area and well-stocked kitchen make the home a practical fit for families who want a relaxed home base with everything they need for meals and downtime.

Bedding includes:
1 Queen bedroom

4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
The property and house layout was nice. Easily accommodated our family of 5. Nice decor and comfortable furniture. However, we had several problems with what was provided in the house. Management responded in a timely manner to text messages but did not resolve or address any of the issues despite stating that they would take if things right away. 1) very limited pots, pans, general kitchen tools. The 3 pots provided were scratched and pitted teflon coated - unsafe for use. We had to buy additional 150 of kitchen items including skillet, sauce pan, large stock pot, steamer and lids. Management said they would bring new pots right away but they never came 2) the grill was not working, two empty tanks, very dirty grill. Management said they would fix - they never came. We could not grill seafood or burgers as we had planned 3) very few blankets, if you need extra, bring your own.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the home’s layout, décor, and comfortable furnishings. We sincerely apologize that the kitchen supplies, grill, and management response did not meet expectations. We understand how frustrating it must have been to purchase additional cookware and discover that the grill was unusable, especially after contacting us for help. Your comments have been shared with our team so the kitchen inventory, grill equipment, and follow-up procedures can be thoroughly addressed. We appreciate your detailed feedback and hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to provide the stay you expected.
