Sweet, modest house with excellent access to beach.

The house was modest but clean, and our family was comfortable and felt very safe. Overall, we had a great time playing on the beach and in the gulf, which was exactly what we were looking for.Management responded promptly to our requests and accommodated our needs.

Nice place for a short stay on the beach

Location was great and easy to find. We could see the water/beach while in the front room. Enjoyed the table that could fit my family for meals. The kitchen was great to cook in and I enjoyed the open concept so everyone felt like they were apart of what was going on while in the house. Some minimal cosmetic updates needed but nothing that negatively impacted our stay. We would stay again!

Close to beach

The house is in a great location, second row in and a quick 1 min walk to the beach. The kitchen was nice and the layout was good for our family. However, the house needs some TLC. The floors are kinda wonky, the window by the front door is broken, there are were lots of little things that need fixing. I did see a few bugs during our stay so I feel like the place could use a visit from a pest control company. I love the location but I don't think we will be staying in this particular house again.

Worst place to stay

Half of the house lost power. They were not willing to get it fixed while we Stayed. I have to wear a medical mask and their accommodation only was a bandaid to the issue. The loss of power also stopped the hot water in the place. I had to leave the location and head home and the owner was not willing to refund one night. This is an inconvenience that affected our stay. I do not recommend renting this place. From the get-go broken window in the property. Why pay over $1000 and have a bad expereience? Not acceptable. They only want to return $150 out of the entire stay. Whoever reads this do not rent from them! They will not work with you to refund you.

Wallpaper falling off walls in bathroom, air conditioner poor, & roaches everywhere. Wifi advertised but unable to access except one place in family room. If you turned the TV towards couches reception was lost. In rear of house there is a large hole in eave with water dripping out which explained all roaches.

Great location

Looking for somewhere close to beach this was great. It was right by a beach access. We walked very easily. Wish they had small things included in the house, beach toys, or sand shovels. We bought our own at Walmart but cannot take them home. For the most part clean. Has a few maintenance type issues (one of the toilets ran off and on the whole time we were there) Nothing that majorly impacted our stay though.
