Perfect for families

We loved our stay at this property. The layout made it so comfortable with everything on one floor and the kitchen and large dining table were perfect for our holiday dinner celebration. We were surprised that one of the bathrooms didn’t have an electrical outlet but we made it work by sharing space. The location is excellent…just steps from the beach.

A delightful getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent another wonderful February at this comfortable home. Its location is just ideal being steps away from the beach as well as walking distance to shops and restaurants. Paradise Beach Homes’ staff are so courteous and very prompt with any concerns. Thanks Heather and Coleen! The only negative we have is the mattress in the master bedroom is not very comfortable especially when you stay a month and the MB TV is basically not useable at night for streaming. The WiFi is not strong enough even with the booster. We do appreciate the replacement fencing in the backyard and our dog loved it. All in all, a wonderful home and we definitely plan to go back.
Response from VrboOwner on 11 Mar, 2026
Thank you for spending another February with us and for sharing such thoughtful feedback. We are so glad you had another enjoyable stay, and we appreciate your kind words about our team. Heather and Colleen will be happy to hear your compliments. Thank you as well for pointing out the concerns with the mattress, the TV and WiFi in the master bedroom. We will be sure to share this with our team so it can be reviewed and improved for future stays. We're so glad that the new backyard fencing was a hit and that your dog enjoyed the space too. They are a huge part of our families! We truly appreciate you returning year after year and look forward to having you back for another relaxing month at the beach. Paradise Beach Homes

Super cute and what YNTK before

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pros: Cute place, great location, 2 bathrooms have been very nicely updated, great view of Gulf from upper deck. Easy cross neighborhood street to beach. Beach is beautiful! Walking distance to lots of fun things to do and places to eat in PB. Overall very nice interior furnishings. Nice amenities. Pet friendly is an added plus!Cons: Since I live in Florida this wasn't a deal breaker but YNTK...five dead roaches present upon arrival and roach droppings present around two sinks. (Made me questions how well the place was cleaned before hand.) After arrival, found 1 - 2 live roaches daily in kitchen and bathroom.The two queen beds in guestroom, with attached full bathroom, off kitchen, were terrible! All other beds (1 king and 2 queens) were good. The mattress cover on queen bed in same guestroom was disgusting! These should be replaced ASAP. Beach equipment is bring your own or rent. Rent is typically $25/day. I would recommend to friends and stay again but bring your own bug spray.Management group was very good and responsive to questions.
