We really had a wonderful time!

I took my daughter and nine of her friends on a birthday trip to the beach for 5 days. We had the best time at the beach house! The spacing was wonderful and set up perfectly! My only complaints were easy fixes. The kitchen sink drains way too slow and the hot water heater needs to be updated for that many bathrooms. It did not last long enough. Besides that we had a great experience and everything was beautiful

Amazing house, amazing week!

We loved everything about our week at this house! The location is great…walking distance to some restaurants and retail.(We rented golf carts to get everywhere else…only used the cars once to go to Destin). The house was beautiful, clean and roomy. The only issue we had with cleanliness was that the shower (in the bathroom with the separate tub) had a bit of black mold in it but we understand…it’s Florida. I had emailed ahead to ask questions about supplies, beach towels, coffee maker, etc. We have rented many homes and most only supply sample sizes, a few trash bags, a few dishwasher pods, etc. We were driving from Houston and fully prepared to bring everything we needed. The email reply was that yes, there were beach towels. That didn’t tell me much because there were 8 of us and we didn’t know if there would be 8 beach towels. I specifically asked if it was a keurig or regular coffee maker but only got yes, there’s a coffee maker. So we ended up bringing EVERYTHING but the kitchen sink and we actually needed nothing! This was the first home we’ve rented that came fully stocked with all soaps, cleaners, toilet paper, etc. It was awesome but would have been nice to know ahead of time! No biggie…we had the BEST week!

Great House with easy access to beach

We had a wonderful time at this house, it was very spacious and had more than enough room for 8 adults and a baby. The kitchen was well equipped with all we needed. I also loved the screened deck. The house is a nice walk (about half mile) to the beach, Shunk Gully’s, and shops. We did rent a golf cart for my retired parents and infant grandson to make it easier for them. We would definitely stay here again!

Great time with family

My family and I like to visit 30A every year. Ramona was pretty and in a great location, however, it is difficult for me to give the home a 5 star review. Prior to booking, I reached out to the property management company to ask a question. They were extremely prompt with their response, which was great. They also mentioned that the home came with beach chairs, wagons, an umbrella, beach towels, and various other items. However, we arrived to 3 total beach chairs, 2 of which were so rusted they were unusable, and 2 wagons, both of which were broken. The beach towels looked to be multiple years old. I am not saying these items need to be included in the booking, but I would suggest not advertising these items when they are in the shape they are in. Secondly, when we arrived, the children were running around downstairs in the common area, barefoot. After a while we noticed their feet were completely black. The property management company did send the cleaning crew back the next morning to mop. But this was definitely disappointing. Finally, the washing machine did not work. Every load left all items completely soaked, no matter how small the load was. Positive things- the kitchen was well stocked, the property management company was very responsive, the house is in a great location.

We had a great experience! The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were very comfy, and the place is beautiful. We had all the comforts of home. Would highly recommend this vacation spot. Very walkable to the beach and great spots to eat.

Lovely property

This is a great property, very well appointed. Common area was a very nice size for a large group. Kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed. The location was quiet and not as crowded as other areas.
