Great stay for my first trip to Buckroe Beach

This property was very neat and tidy upon my arrival. There were plenty of items such as towels, inflatable beds, and kitchenware to accommodate your stay. Being so close to the beach was great, my family and I walked there every day. The area was peaceful and quiet, and I felt safe there along with my 5 year old daughter.

Great home for beach stay

The property was nice and had everything we needed. I enjoyed myself very much. When it was storming and the power went out and I sent a message to the property owners and they responded back very quickly. It was very great and I would recommend this home to anyone that is going on vacation.I give this home 5stars

Birthday weekend

Lynn was phenomenal! The lower apartment she accommodated us to was awesome as we had our 8mo old twins!! DoorDash had trouble finding us, but we walked to the road- no hassle. I’ve stayed in Buckroe once before but was not a five minute walk from the beach! So beautiful. Thank you for the hospitality!

Quick Beach Family Vacation

Our family (2 adults and 4 kids) had a great time at this rental, the location is great - super close to the beach, places to eat and shop. We also went to Busch Gardens during our stay and it’s also only 30 mins away so that was nice. The apartment was probably a little small for our family but we didn’t have a super long stay and were mainly there to sleep. The washer and dryer in the unit was also really great to have after being at the beach all day. The host provided great dining options too, we tried a few of them and was not disappointed. Would definitely come again in the future.

Buckroe Beach Stay

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was very clean and well appointed with cookware and linens. The location was great, only a few blocks walk to the lovely beach park. The property manager was very responsive and answered questions promptly, even when messaged after 10:00pm. They also helped walk us through directions via telephone when checking in after dark and had difficulty finding the parking area. The listing uses the term “duplex” to describe the property so I was expecting a side-by-side type unit. It seemed to be a converted garage maybe, with upper and lower apartments. Not a huge problem for us, but we could hear the upstairs tenants. I don’t believe they were being excessively loud. It was more like the sound you would hear between floors of a two -story house.

Clean and cozy

This was a very clean and cozy apartment. It is a short walk to the beach but the beach does not have chair and umbrella rental. The kitchen was up today and will stocked. I might suggest if you are a light sleeper, you may want to get the apartment upstairs because movement upstairs can be heard downstairs, especially if you are a lot sleeper. Lynn Howard was very easy to work with and responded to emails promptly.
