We LOVED our stay! Property keeps the laidback charm of old Pass-a-grille but has every modern amenity. Beds were super comfy. Loved having access to bikes so we could enjoy the island without worrying about parking: Will definitely be back.

Spectacular Pass-A-Grille Beach Getaway

Just returned from the most perfect escape at a beach house with an idyllic location - just a 3 minute walk from the beautiful white sandy beach. The house was immaculate, cozy and provided the perfect haven to relax and soak up the amazing sound of the waves. Highly recommended!

We were pleasantly surprised....the close proximity to the beach, the roominess of the house, the privacy of the house. It was quite nice. It rained almost nonstop and we actually did not go to the beach even once! However, we hung out at the house and found nice restaurants nearby. It was nice to get away for a few days. Thank you.

Great place, great location

Spotlessly clean and nicely decorated and furnished. Modern and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen with matching pretty tableware. The two bedrooms are both roomy and bright. No need to draw straws. Great vibe here with everyone coming together to recover from the storms. Sad to see the loss of some landmarks. Picky things: a couple more wine glasses would be good. One of the beach cruisers was nearly unridable. Otherwise a perfect 10.

Birthday weekend with pups

Wonderful location. Comfortable beds. Very clean. This property is wonderful but the only downside is parking for this unit. driveway and you need to be a good back up driver to be able to manipulate and backout of the driveway. Trees, bamboo especially when there are other cars in the driveway. I'm an expert driving backwards so it took me a little bit. Otherwise wonderful stay we will definitely be back! Lisa is a wonderful hist/owner and has thoroughly thought of everything to have there to make your stay more enjoyable.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 Aug, 2023
Thank you so much I’m glad you had a wonderful stay! Yes on an island there’s limited parking and we are lucky to have off street parking. I’ve never had anyone complain about having a parking spot most people just park and then reverse out of the driveway. There has not been an issue with over 40 years of renting. unfortunately we can’t make more land on an island.. (I wish) otherwise there would be a circular drive. So a guest does needs to reverse out of their parking spot that is their designated parking space (Note there is a daily pay to park option provided by the city but no one has needed it yet that I am aware of as all guests have managed to reverse out of their parking space) . thank you again and I hope you return in the future!

Great house!

The house was an easy walk to the beach. It was very well stocked with everything you could need including ample cookware, utensils, wonderful bath products, even a white noise machine. The TV is nice and big in the main living area. Shaner's market is very close. Highly recommend that and the new coffee place the Leaping Llama I believe it's called. A very short drive to all the restaurants and walking distance to the Don Cesar. I highly recommend this rental!

Excellent Vacation

Great location in a beautiful place. So handy for the beach and all amenities are in walking (warm) distance. Not sure changing the name of Sea Critters to Red, White and Booze will help attract customers in the future.

Relaxing in Paradise

Beautifully decorated cottage only a minute walk to the beach. Large, comfortable living area with large tv. Bedrooms were spacious and beds were super comfortable! Full bathroom and 1/2 bathroom were perfect! Nice patio area with bikes, chairs , beach towels, wagon and all you need for a day at the beach. Able to walk to restaurants. Great to have one parking spot by cottage and a parking pass allowing us to bring 2 cars. Parking pass is awesome for parking in other areas of Pass a Grille!! Lisa was amazing. Answering all my questions very quickly!! Would highly recommend!!

Relaxing Beach Week

This property is a quaint quiet beach cottage that provided a wonderful place to relax after fun in the sun. Fantastic neighborhood with wonderful restaurants nearby. Everything is within walking distance. Beach access is only about 1 1/2 blocks away in a low traffic area. Everything was family-friendly in a very quiet and safe neighborhood. 10/10, highly recommended, and would absolutely book again!

Perfect Place for a Relaxing Stay

I can not recommend this property enough. It was perfect for what I was looking for. Situated almost in the middle between the Paradise Grille and the Don Cesar I could get the best of Pass-a-Grille within walking distance. The property is very comfortable and well-appointed. Not fancy, comfortable. Exactly how I like things. Ample parking, a big kitchen, nice living room, and the bedrooms were enough for me and the guests I had during the weekends. The beach is about a 3-minute walk away. Topping everything off was that they are pet friendly. My dog and cat were totally at home. But there was ZERO sign that animals are allowed. Everything was clean, etc. Finally, the management of the property is top-notch. We had a self-induced a plumbing problem and after a bit of trying to resolve it myself, I contacted Lisa. She had a professional plumber out there within an hour. Outstanding response! Thank you so much for making our stay so fantastic!

This is an apartment not a house

As an active duty military family, we don't have the opportunity to see family very often, so our trip to Pass-a-grill was not only the first vacation we've taken in years, but we were also planning to see family that we hadn't seen in a long time. I was surprised to receive an email the day before we were supposed to leave for our vacation, that disclosed that the 'beachhouse' we were expecting to stay in was actually an apartment! All the advertisements we had seen previously on VRBO showed pictures of what we thought was a single family house, but the pictures hid the rest of the 'compound'. There are actually 4 total apartments on the property in 2 separate buildings. Parking is extremely tight in the driveway, but the owner did provide us with an on street parking permit at no additional cost, which was nice and we were able to use for family who visited. We had been planning to have a BBQ on the 4th of July, but the grills were rusted out and unusable, so we cooked in the oven and on the stove instead. It was nice having all the kitchen necessities, but a grill was advertised. The hammock in our part of the yard was moldy so we couldn't use it, and the patio set needed a good cleaning before we could use it. I also didn't like having to share the laundry with other renters, especially since there were a couple time conflicts and we were originally expecting a SFH. Overall, we did have a good experience. There are just those few things I would have liked to have known up front. The apartment was really cute and there was more than enough space for our family, but there are SFHs available at cheaper prices. We loved being only a couple blocks from the beach so much that we are considering retiring in the area eventually.

Perfectly named: Paradise By The Sea

Property was just as described in the listing. It was a perfect balance between Pass-a-grille period charm and the latest updates / modern conveniences. It was immaculate upon arrival and just 1.5 blocks from the beach entry. 22nd Ave is the northernmost public access, so we weren't crowded on sand or water at all. It was our first major family outing with our Australian shepherd and she did remarkably well. We hope all who come after us enjoy this lovely getaway as much as we did.
