Thank you for allowing us to host your island stay, Megan! We're go glad you found our the location and home excellent and appreciate the compliments to our Crew's communication and responsiveness. We're sorry to hear you thought the clean could be a better. This is a direct beachfront home with salt, sand, and humidity always playing their part. However, we take all feedback to heart and appreciate you sharing. We hope to host you again!

Couldn’t ask for a better water view. The house met our extended family’s needs in space and accommodations. It was very nice to have the welcome note with treats for the pets. Nice touch. Having the third bathroom was such a blessing! Communication with management was quick and effective. Would definitely recommend this home!

Perfect for large families

The house was accurately described on the rental site and was perfect for large families. It was clean, had plenty of rooms, a nice porch and direct beach access. It was great for the kids as well as adults. The weather was not cooperative but thankfully, the home was furnished with games, TV's and plenty of cooking utensils!

Great stay!

Located directly across from a little section of private beach, and fairly easy to get to the larger beach through the neighborhood. Great view, soft beds, fluffy towels, and everything you need for a group getaway. Property manager is very communicative left little extras for us. House is a little beat up, but no worse than what you would expect of a beach side rental. Looks like deck was recently extended so it is larger than what was shown in the photos.

Great Holiday

The house itself was nice had a little bumps about it but still was an amazing stay for myself and family. The front door needs to be fixed you had to really push to get it open and to close it you almost had to pull pretty hard. Other than that there was some minor issues but overall the entire stay was amazing. The sunrise every morning off the balcony was breathtaking. The walks on the beach and sunsets, my family really enjoyed. Thank you for the beautiful view!

Beautiful and clean

We stayed for 5 nights. The property was clean and comfortable, with direct access to a beach for wading (signs posted advise against swimming there due to rip tides). A beach that is safe for swimming is a short two blocks away. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, cookware, and grilling tools. There are three bathrooms, but the downstairs bedroom’s attached bathroom has an odd tub/shower— you’ll have to sit down in the tub to use the shower due to the way it’s built. The property could use some minor maintenance; the coffee table is broken, stair treads are missing a cap, and the vinyl plank flooring has multiple gaps between planks that could pose a trip hazard. As noted by a different reviewer, the exterior could use a power wash. We were initially notified that the washer was broken and would be unavailable for our stay. After several text messages back and forth, the management company was able to secure a repair appointment for our second afternoon. The washer was fully functioning after that. Overall, despite the quirks described above, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would book again.

Nice place, property needs a thorough cleaning

The place is nice, but it could use a thorough cleaning. We had a 1 year old in our group and he was crawling everywhere and his knees/feet were black from the floor. I realize the place is on the beach and expect the floors to be a bit dirty, but not on the first day. Furniture was also noticeably dirty and had rips on the couch. This is not a deal breaker, again just noticeable. Upstairs bathroom could use a little maintenance as one towel holder was just 'hanging' on to the wall and we just laid it on the sink. Fake door fronts on sink were also broken and fell off numerous times. Do not rely on the internet as it did not stay connected. We chose not to contact anyone about this as we didn't really need; however, it would have been nice so that we could connect to shows for the one year old. Beds were comfortable, set up was nice with 2 bedrooms on main floor and 2 on 2nd floor. There were enough bathrooms to accommodate all in our group (a definite plus). Towels were very plush and we had plenty for all of us and able to do laundry when/if needed. Mosquitos were horrendous and the size of Texas! Obviously not the fault of property, just wish we would have had some bug spray to enjoy the deck a bit more.

Thank you for allowing us to host your beachside stay Dawn! We appreciate you noting the bed comfortability, plush towels and setup. However, we're so sorry to hear the floors were not up to par. We gladly would have sent our housekeepers back had we known. We take clean seriously. We will make sure to address the towel holder. They seem to take a beating for some reason. As for the internet service, not sure what all happened but AT&T was contacted, our apologies. We hope you enjoyed your holiday time otherwise. Thanks again!

Property needs some TLC. Water damage in areas and saw a couple roaches in the kitchen scurrying at night. Otherwise property as described. Please thoroughly read the property description. You can’t swim at the beach visible from the front porch. You will need to walk/drive across the neighborhood to swim at the main beach. Personally not going back to this property.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Roger, and sorry your didn't enjoy the adventures of island living more. During your stay, we experienced Tropical Storm Arthur, which brought high winds, heavy rain, elevated tides, and all the extra adventure that Gulf-front living can sometimes deliver. Coastal homes work hard against salt air, humidity, storms, and blowing sand year-round, and while we continuously maintain and improve our properties, Mother Nature occasionally leaves her fingerprints behind. As noted in the listing, this location sits directly on the Gulf with beautiful views, but swimming beach access is located a short distance away in the neighborhood. Many guests enjoy the quieter shoreline in front of the home for walks, surf watching, fishing, and wildlife spotting, while heading to the main beach access areas for swimming and beach days. Like all coastal properties in our region, we also maintain regular professional pest control service, though an occasional visitor can still find its way indoors, especially during periods of heavy rain and storms. We understand that every property is not the perfect fit for every traveler, but we appreciate you giving our little slice of island life a try and wish you safe travels on your future adventures.

Perfect location

A private beach is right in front of the home, which is so convenient. House is clean and fully stocked, good communication by management. Would stay again. Only had two issues, neither of which was a dealbreaker. House is is need of a power wash and dishwasher doesn’t get power. Those were the only things stopping a straight 5 star review.

It really is a perfect location, we agree! Thank you for noting the cleanliness and communication! As for the home needing a power wash, we will certainly pass that feedback along to the owner. It is tough with the high winds, humidity, sand and salt in this location to keep things without a coat of these elements. It's quite the battle. As for the dishwasher, it just requires the switch (light looking type) to power the dishwasher, as it was per code previously. Believe the switch is labeled, or at least it was, but we will confirm it still there.

Quaint Beach Getaway

The house had everything we needed and an awesome front porch to sit and watch the tide come and go. The beach directly in front of the property was great for little ones, but there's also a bigger beach just a couple blocks drive or walk from the house. The community was quiet and friendly. Perfect place to get away and spend time with family.
