October beach trip
This was the least stressful checkout I’ve experienced and I rent once to twice yearly. House was as described and was appreciated. Rooms accommodated comfortably and the kitchen was so well stocked!!!! Anything we could have needed was there to include multiple place settings and plenty of coffee mugs. Beach access was great. And the deck has a fabulous view. Recommend.

Beach House of Memories
I’ve stayed here before and had such a great time I had to bring my kids and friends. We came the central air wasn’t working to par. I texted the host 20 minutes later the repair man was at our door and it was fixed! Amazing service, enough space for everyone to enjoy each other yet be alone if wanted. Planning to stay next year again!

Great family getaway spot!
Our group of two grandparents, five children and three spouses, and five grandchildren had a great time at the property. There were enough bedrooms so that all grandkids could have a quiet afternoon nap. The deck was a fabulous play area as well as a nice place for coffee and sunrises. The extra fridge was a plus when feeding so many people. The direct beach access was a must for us and it did not disappoint!

Great for a family!
The property was GREAT for our large family. The rooms were incredibly spacious and comfortable. The property had everything we needed (it would have been nice to have pot holders and more kitchen towels) and we had a great time. The ramp all the way to the beach was great for my grandparents who have trouble walking in the sand. Communication with the owners was clear and regular. Their instructions and guidance left no question unanswered. We loved this property and would absolutely come back for our next family beach weekend.

Great location
This is a great house that sleeps a lot of people. We spent a long weekend in this home with a few other families, the house was clean and with 6 bedrooms accommodated everyone comfortably. The house has a beautiful view of gulf and the ramp to the beach makes going back and forth super easy. One and only complaint was when we reached out to management letting them know of an issue with one of the toilets we were told that all the showers and toilets were checked and working prior to our arrival and that they would not be sending anyone out to fix the toilet...that left us with just two toilets for the remainder of our visit which was frustrating with such a large party.

Satisfied
Overall we were satisfied but… the people that stayed before us mentioned multiple times that the A/C wasn’t working right so we confirmed before our arrival that it was. We were assured that it would be cooled down prior to our arrival. When we arrived it was not. We checked filters they were both very dirty we changed them out and notified property management that the A/C Was in need of service. They did respond immediately and had the problem resolved but it took 5 hours on day 2 of our stay to change out the AC unit. That meant we had to be out of the house during the hottest part of the day while the work was being done. This could have been avoided if they had actually checked the AC before we arrived. It was obvious the AC had not been serviced for a long time. The rest of the property was in decent shape, a few lights not working and fan pull chains not connected. And the upstairs windows had not been cleaned, but we would stay here again. Great beach access and a wonderful location!

Filthy house, AC barely worked, vents filled with dust and mold… do not book!
We booked this house for Fourth of July weekend. We arrived on July 1 and the house was 77°. We called the property manager four times before they sent out a maintenance person when he came. He said that the house needed time to cool down. He didn’t cool down until about 3 AM that night however, every single day during the day the house is about 77-78°. We were all hot and miserable. Our kids couldn’t sleep in addition to that it was filthy. The vents had so much dust and mold. It looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in a year. I have pictures as well that I took to post but it’s not giving me a place to post them on this review the deck had missing railings, which made it incredibly dangerous for small children to be on. I would advise anyone that wants to have a nice day to not book this house, because sweating and living in filth the entire time in 100° weather there’s not some thing that I call enjoyable.

Family Vacation
House has a great location and plenty of bedrooms however mattresses desperately need to be replaced…house needs updates and basic maintenance needs to be done…outlets don’t all have covers being dangerous to toddlers. Holes in walls behind toilets and AC didn’t cool 2 of the bedrooms at all! Master shower had mold and sinks did not drain. We made the best of the trip and overall it was great! Just paid quite a bit for an underwhelming house! Coffee pot went out and they were super fast to replace it and we were grateful for their quick response! I think with some paint and a bit of TLC this would be a terrific house!

We had a wonderful time!
This house has plenty of room! We had 9 adults and 9 children..ages 5-15. Positives: The ramp was awesome...no stairs to beach or to house. The huge bean bag in LR was a hit for the grandkids. Plenty of hot water for all our showers. Beautiful views from the 2 decks! Master bed was very comfortable and I believe all the other ones were also. Plenty of room to sleep. Big table to eat and play games. 2 very comfortable recliners in the LR. Pantry space was great ... actually 3 different cupboards.. so we each had our own family cupboard. Lol.Great parking. New grill . Overall a fantastic home! Some negatives: Second frig. was out of service. Does need a deep cleaning done but was reasonably clean when we arrived. Minor repairs needed. The code lock was temperamental at times lol. Pots and pans are very well used. A mop needs to be available. Could not find First Aid kit. Could not find remote to the DVD player. Suggestion: Have a 5gallon bucket available. My son in law was stung by a sting ray on his foot. One of the first aid remedies is soaking it in hot water. He did go to the ER because he had a severe reaction. It was scary to us all. We know that this is always a risk being in the ocean. We thank God he is ok and we are glad it was not one of the little children. Thank you for this home and the great memories we made! God bless you.
