Cute and spacious townhouse
The house was super close to the beach and in a good part of town. Neighbors were super friendly too. The house easily slept 10 guests and was clean. I definitely would book this rental again for another trip! The only downside is the house did not come with condiments like salt, pepper, olive oil, etc. We did a lot of cooking from home and ended up purchasing our own. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to others.

Home away from home
The home was nice felt like home . Felt like we just moved the house to the beach. Everyone can have their own private space and bathrooms . And still can come together in the living room and eating area to enjoy each other and watch tv and eat. Close to the beach and all the stores and eating areas

Near the beach
Beautiful townhome. Great location since it was just a few minutes walk to the beach. This was just what we were looking for. The only negative thing I could think about was the dryer was a bit small and did not really dry our clothes well. Other than that, everything was awesome!

Amazing and great price!
This was the perfect place to stay for our getaway of 5 people. The price point was great, Unit was very clean and updated, and the whole process was very easy from start to finish. It is maybe a 3-4 minute walk to the beach so I would suggest bringing a cart to carry your supplies down. Overall it was excellent!

Beautiful Property
This is a beautiful place and is indeed very close to the beach. The property manager is very responsive to detail and any issue that comes up. The only issue might be that if one is elderly or at all infirm there are 34 stairs to the master bedroom. There is, however, a full bath on every floor and one could choose to stay on the bottom floor. The kitchen is 17 steps up from there.

Mostly very good stay.
Except for being locked out of the garage, very good experience. They do not give you a key to the garage and they failed to have it unlocked from inside the house. Since the check in was at 5:00, we had to wait until the next morning to have it unlocked.

spacious and great location
This property had lots of room for everyone and was in a great location! Short walk to the beach, and the wagon, beach chairs, umbrella and toys made it super easy! Very close to restaurants and shops too! Be aware that this is a 3 level property and the master bedroom (which is huge!) is on the 3rd floor, so lots of up and down stairs. The only disappointment for me was the size and quality of the washer and dryer. It was a very small stack w/d and the washer could only fit maybe 8-10 items of clothing. The dryer was not powerful and took several hours/resets of the cycle to dry the clothes. We ended up going to a laundromat on the last day because with 7 people, the laundry added up. Otherwise we were very happy with our stay!

Nice place but quite a few problems
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful condo, great area, lots of space. Bug problem started downstairs bedroom, moved to main floor. Leaking washer, air was broken to find out. Kids bedroom and bathroom doors didnt lock. No cable in downstairs bedroom, and the othet rooms, there were very limited channels. Hurricane cindy hung around for a few days and family differences caused us to leave early. Was a horrible vacation, will not return. Not much to do in the area when its raining either.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit is tired looking. It needs more work. The appliances are very outdated and not working well. The refrigerator needs new parts or should be replaced. The furniture is old and uncomfortable. The beds however were good. The property management staff did their best to resolve sone issues. They were able to get us a new bbq and charcoal. And new chairs for the patio. They also did some painting of the staircase where the paint had pretty much flaked off and left a sticky feel to the wood. They responded quickly and we appreciated that. There are a lot of stairs as there are three levels but the space worked well. In our view the unit needs updating.

Winter Stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We visited on the coldest week it has ever been in Florida. The HVAC system did not provide proper heat, the kids room was an icebox and was not used. They provided all tv subscriptions so our evenings before bed was great. We could have used more than one trash bag during our 4 days stay. Great area for pets to do their business with stations for bags and waste.

Great Townhouse & Location
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Exceptionally renovated townhouse with plenty of room for a large family. We love the area and love being a few steps from the beach. Everything was clean when we showed up. My only suggestion is that this property deserves a decent gas grill, the little cheap charcoal grill just doesn’t cut it.

The dryer was not working & we had 8 adults with dirty bathing suits & towels everyday. We didn't get answers back & they had to know this has been out. It didn't happen within hours of the people leaving before us. We were not offered anything back either.

Beach Point #901
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the fourth time we have stayed at unit 901. The property is accurately described. It’s far enough back from Scenic Highway to eliminate most traffic noise, and close enough to the beach to make it an easy walk. The unit has always been clean upon our arrival, but this year it was exceptionally clean. The Harmony Beach staff always provide great customer service. We not only would recommend both unit 901 to our friends and relatives, but we have done just that. Everything we needed: shopping, groceries, restaurants, golf, are a short walk or a short drive away..
