- Leisurely float in gentle water - Catch minnows or enjoy casual fishing - Let little ones safely splash in the shallows - Relax by the lake while still watching the ocean waves
It's an ideal alternative for guests who love the beach views but prefer calmer water than the surf.

Amazing beach views and l location! 1 minute walk to beach and a short walk to restaurants, shops and walking/- biking trails. House was very spacious and the kids loved the game room ! We will be back.
The house was perfect to accommodate our entire family of 17. Me and my husband slept on the bottom level which we loved, it was like we had our own place. The bunk room was great for all the kiddos. The beach was just a few minutes walk away and not too crowded. The garage game room was great for the teenagers to play games in. It was very easy to communicate with the host through text messaging. We would love to stay there again in the future!
This was the perfect place for the board to work un distracted with refreshing breaks of walks on the beach.Accommodations allowed each member to have their own space with great collaborative working space.

The home was spotless. We were close to the beach and shops. But not in the think of the craziness of spring break. The weather was perfect. We loved all the extras provided by the property, sand toys, beach chairs, the foosball and ping pong tables were the perfect rest for our sun burned skin. I would highly recommend this property!

The house was perfect for our family. It was comfortable, with plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms and sitting areas. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything needed - especially liked the separate ice maker! While not directly on the beach, it is about as close as you can get. The beach area where we set up was so nice! Nice to have a pool available, when you have had too much beach. Overall, it was a great experience at A Lovely Day.

We have been coming to the area for 10 years, and this is one of of absolute favorite house! You are right across from the beach, and coffee off the dec in the morning is awesome! If you have kids or teens, the layout is perfect. The garage they turned into a game room was so nice for all the kids! Beds were so comfortable! More towels is my only request! We will definitely return! Rental company, as usual, is so great and attentive! Definitely will book this beautiful home again!

We had 4 adults and 5 young kids staying at the house and it was great! Plenty of space. It’s walkable to the beach which is so nice. I will say the public beach area that is through the main steps you’d use is fairly small, so if it’s a crowded day, you might have a lot of people there. However, if you have young kids, I’d recommend going to the Eastern Lake beach access because there is plenty of space there and it’s like a huge kiddie pool for the young kids - they loved it! Only catch is you have to walk through the water to get to that beach access, but it wasn’t a huge deal. I’d stay here again!

We appreciate your tip about the Eastern Lake beach access – sounds like a hidden gem, especially for families with young children! We're glad you found it worthwhile, even with the unique pathway. We look forward to welcoming you back for another enjoyable stay!

Upon arriving at the property we noticed a leak that was causing quite a bit of flooding on the third floor and into the second floor. We contacted management and the issue was resolved quickly. The cleanliness of the property was not perfect-the smell inside the house was stale and there were quite a few cobwebs, indicating the house possibly was not rented the week before so the cleaning crew took some shortcuts. There are a bunch of steps that are not visible in the pictures. It is a four story home so steps are expected, but there are a bunch-not ideal for older family members or disabled family members.Those were the only negative things I have to say about the property. This property has an amazing layout, very close to the beach, and gorgeous views. We were close to grocery stores and restaurants. We ordered groceries ahead and did Wal-Mart pick up and also did a Wal-Mart delivery. The pool is nice and close-it is also clean and was not super crowded the times we went. The best part about the location of this house is the closeness to the beach. We have a family of 20-ranging from 75 years old to 7 years old. The location to the beach was perfect. Go early and set up your chairs and tent then head back whenever. We were close enough that we walked back to the house for lunch then headed back to the beach. We ate dinner at Old Florida Fish House-make reservations, but it is a super neat place. I also recommend having Buddy’s steam some seafood for you to pick up.

Hi Jessyca!
Thank you for your thoughtful review and for sharing both the highlights and areas where we can improve. We're so glad to hear that the location worked perfectly for your family and that you enjoyed the close beach access, beautiful views, and nearby restaurants and shops. It sounds like you made the most of your time together, which we love to hear!
We sincerely apologize for the maintenance and cleanliness issues you encountered at check-in. While we're glad our team was able to resolve the leak quickly, we understand how first impressions matter and will be following up with our cleaning team to ensure nothing is overlooked—especially before a guest arrival.
We also appreciate your note about the stairs. While the multi-level layout does provide great space and views, we understand it may not be ideal for guests with mobility concerns and will work on clarifying this better in our listing.
Thank you again for staying with us and for your valuable feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future!
Best regards,

Our family of 19 vacations together every other year. Finding housing for 5 married couples and 9 kids is hard, but A Lovely Day was perfect for us! The kitchen was well-appointed and had everything we needed to cook meals each evening. The bed arrangement fit our needs, but the one thing the house needed was more linens. There were two towels per bedroom and NO additional bed linens. There was a surplus of pillows in the closets but no pillowcases. We all got a good workout on the stairs and the walks to the beach. The beach situation is interesting in that one access didn't allow tents, and you had to wade through the lake run-off at the other. The water from the lake did make a great place for the kids to play, though. The nearby pool was also a favorite with the kids. Overall, it was a lovely place to spend our week together!

We paid nearly $10,000 for a weekly rental from 5/21/22 - 5/28/22. We arrived to find our 5 story rental had no access to the elevator which the listing clearly said was included. My 75+year old mother having to walk all these stairs totally ruined her trip. We also chose this place over several others due to a LARGE advertised game room on the ground level which had a card table, PING PONG table, and a FOOSBALL table. We wanted this room in case it rained and also as a place for the kids to gather so they were not in the main living area with all of their noise and energy at all times.We shortly after arriving and were told we'd be called the next day (Sunday) with an answer about the issue.No call came but we got a text telling us the home sold a couple of months back, had new owners, and the new owners no longer allow access to these features and thanking me for my understanding as if that solved the issue. They also ADMITTED the loss of use and apologized but blamed the previous rental company for not telling me (how would the old rental company know what the new owners are offering?!?! That makes no sense).They knew about this REMOVAL of offerings weeks before my stay!I said there was no understanding and since there was rain all week we need these amenities for the kids.They said they'd give compensation after checkout for my hassle to make it right.About a week after checkout I got an email for 10% off a future stay at SOME rental during only SOME dates.I called and was told the manager would call me back within 1 business day. NO CALL 5 days later. I called again and was told again I'd be called in 1 business day. No call back 2 business days later. I called again and was told this was escalated to the 2nd in command and I'd have a call within 4 hours. Not a single call still has come now over 2 weeks later and all I have received is another email confirming

Hi Sean,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We pride ourselves on providing superior customer service and a hassle-free stay for our guests.
We are so sorry that we fell short of that expectation, when taking on a new owner and property it is not always clear what they will change. We do apologize we were not able to provide the changes sooner to you. We will share your feedback with our departments to ensure we are representing our company to the standard of excellence we are known for. We would understand if you chose not to use us again but we hope you will reconsider so we may provide you with a great beach vacation.
