We've visited 30A several times. This was the first time staying in this particular property or with this management company. While we enjoyed our stay, we'd likely stay elsewhere on a return visit to 30A.
The Good: Unit was new and is as pictured, kitchen was nice and well equipped, master bath was ideal with tiled shower and dual vanity, and surprisingly, there were 4 bikes and bike locks in the garage (saving us $110 for 2 bike rentals we didn't have to make/pay for)
The Bad: Unexpectedly long walk to the beach - beach is not across 30A, as was typical with other rentals in Seacrest Beach and other beaches. The nearest beach access point is roughly a mile away, and in the summer heat, best reached by bike. The state park which is nearby has limited hours, meaning traveling the opposite way to another beach at roughly a mile was a better bet. The free shuttle, while fantastic and with great drivers, has limited hours of 9 AM - 3 PM. The free shuttle will take residents from this real estate development to a beach, albeit one that is about 2.5 miles away. The unit, while new, wasn't as clean as we expected. The ceiling fans had not been dusted in at least several weeks. The sheets on the master bed were an incorrect size. The curtains in the guest room had been stained by prior guests leaving the windows open and were stained with rainwater/drainage. There is a considerable amount of construction taking place in July / August on this street, as multiple units were being worked on from early in the morning until late at night. The rental price partly compensates for this, but be prepared to stop abruptly when driving through and be careful riding a bike or walking amidst the parade of large equipment and work trucks. While the home was secure, and 30A is a very safe place, staying here requires a lot of access codes. Thankfully, there's an app for that! One code for the garage, another for the side door, a 3rd for the pool, and a 4th for the small workout facility, not to mention WIFI or bike lock codes to remember.
We admit to not booking far enough in advance, given the increasing popularity of 30A, a very hot vacation spot. Had we booked 5-6 months out, we could have landed a more ideal place. Nevertheless we enjoyed the stay and hope the management company considers both the good and bad comments.
