We enjoyed our stay here, so much!! It is a very short walk to the beach. Everyone had their own bedrooms and space. The kitchen was spacious for everyone to get in and out of. Also, our teens loved the bikes that were given with the condo! Everything worked out so well for us!

The layout is perfect and very spacious. There is a ton of seating in the living room and the bedrooms are all big and well laid out. It is within walking distance to multiple places on 30A. I highly recommend staying here!

Picture Perfect Family Vacation
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: We can't wait for our next stay! The rental was so homey and comfortable. We bought an umbrella, some beach towels and chairs, and a bunch of sand toys when we got down there and literally spent almost every day from dawn til dusk at the beach. After dinner we would gather in the living room to watch a movie. Once we tucked in the kids and cleaned up, my husband and I had a glass of wine out on our balcony. It was pretty much the picture perfect family vacation.

Great place but needs maintenance
We loved the house in spite of the many maintenance issues we had during our stay (Ie. coffee pot had a hole in it, microwave had to be held closed to work, closet door fell off, WiFi wasn’t working) the property mgr was responsive and things were fixed quickly except the microwave which was never replaced or repaired. The location and overall house was great otherwise. Clean. Beds super comfy. 4 bikes to use which was great. There is not any extra parking if friends come visit but the drive can hold 3 cars if you squeeze them in. The only other frustration was a 5pm checkin time which is hours later than any other property we have visited in the past.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved everything about this rental: the style, the layout, the location. I am very picky about cleanliness and the rental was very clean when we arrived. I can't say it lasted once my kids started running around with their sandy feet! The home is located right by the pool, the beach, and the lake. Bikes were included with the rental, and it was a picturesque ride to Seaside. We booked online and did not have any interaction with the management company other than the reservation emails we received because we didn't have any issues during our stay. Thank you for making this beautiful rental available for our vacation.

We could walk to the beach in two minutes and the community pool was right across the street. It was so convenient to return to the house to get something to eat or walk the dogs. Everyone was very comfortable in their rooms. We had some trouble with the dishwasher but the management company came out and fixed it the same day. Minor issues like this are to be expected. Overall, the house was in very good shape and we enjoyed our vacation very much.

Prime location at a beautiful property
The house is absolutely amazing, it’s located 50 steps from the beach, it was super clean and everything you could think of was taken care of. We loved biking to the donut hole every morning, we biked to seaside (15min ride) and all the locals restaurants on 30A. We had a blast! There are 2 rooms on the ground floor and the master and bunk room on the top floor. I felt a little uncomfortable the first night as the kids were all the way downstairs but after realizing it’s a super safe and quiet neighborhood it was all fine. The teens would run up and forth to the beach and the pool and we all had a blast! Thank you for hosting us. One little recommendation would be to add curtains to the master bedroom, we were up every morning right after runrise. Also, adding chairs to the deck would create added value. There is a lot of construction going on all throughout the Seaside area but they really try to not start making noise before 8am but it is something to be prepared for.

Very weathered house
First off, I have never left a poor review but this has to be done. We were not pleased with the house. The bottom floor bedrooms are like old basement rooms. Always felt damp. The kitchen was old as well. Cabinets and countertops are old and dirty feeling. Definitely not worth the price you pay. We stay in vaca rentals most of the summer. This home was to be our “big” vaca of the summer but was BY FAR our least favorite. There is a view of the gulf from the kitchen window (through a condo building in front of the house) BUT you have to see all the dumpsters first. There are nails and sharp metal everywhere outside because of construction. AND yes, the construction is loud because the houses are so crammed in this tiny street. The parking is horrible. You have to do a 10 point turn to get out, and if you are lucky no construction workers are blocking the driveway. Literally we had to go looking for the workers to just get our cars out! The pool itself was clean but the area around it is so overgrown and not kept up. Sadly, we left a day early because we were kinda over it. Lastly, the beach chair company hustles you everyday! Beware! We tipped over $100 to be front row and on day two were told well, everyone else takes care of us as well so we will see what we can do. Had to give him $20 more to get up front! I will say management was quick to respond to any email I had. The issues I had were taken care of, like the freezer not working and there was no wash cloths.

No view no heated pool
Thank you for requesting feedback. I wish all was positive. I have mixed reviews of this property. The location seemed great at first, nice and close to the beach access and pool. Although the construction of the new home across the street is not ideal for vacation. Also, the traffic of people from outside the neighborhood to trespass through a property 2 doors down at the end of the road to gain unauthorized access to the private beach was very unsettling and seemed to make the location much less desirable for our family. So much unauthorized foot traffic, creepy. The home is advertised as having a gulf view. This is not true. You can see a glimpse of water through trees and overtop of dumpsters if you look through the screened window in the dining room, must have keen eyesight, and definitely not a view you will want to sit to enjoy. The home was very dirty, and no cleaning supplies were left for us to clean it ourselves. There are so many items damaged or well-used. Kitchen cabinets were falling off of the wall, trash drawer near broken, washer and dryer rusty and dingy with a disgusting filter, shower walls were not clean, one shower handle was not connected to the wall, deck railing banisters were broken with rusty nails sticking out so not suitable for children, and much more. This home is picture beautiful but needs quite a bit of TLC. The pools were not heated as advertised and very dirty. One was so filthy and non-functional/closed the entire week. Very few guests used the other, just so dirty, cloudy, and the pool are was unkept. This lack of transparency was unfortunate. I looked and also not only was the property in many ways not as described I was charged nearly $200 per night more than this unit charges any other week. I believe this should be rectified and that I should receive a partial refund. I did thoroughly enjoy the beach and the close proximity for bike rides to shops and restaurants. The layout worked great for our family. Given my frustration, I would rather not leave a formal review at this time. Maybe after I hear back regarding how management decides to rectify/respond to this unfortunate experience. Available for questions, clarification, and additional items. There are more. Thank you.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I’ll start by saying I am still waiting for a call back from management. The Guest Services person was very nice however promised a call from mgt that which never arrived. I’m not one to write bad reviews and while I say this property is lovely, I feel the community is unkept. I wouldn’t call it let friendly since there is no grass for blocks. There is sandy mud if that counts. Problem with that is most everything in the u it is white. My biggest concerns were construction on the property next door which is very close in proximity. That meant six men working on the two balconies at 7:30 or 8:00am peering in the windows. There were several rusty nails visible that I Picked up. My car was covered in saw dust and debris from them sweeping the porch above the car. I would love to attach pictures but unable. Of most concern was paying approx 8k for the week with the thought of my daughter and friend walking back and forth to the unit with a construction crew feet from our door. Good news this only happened for one day. Mgt may have remedied this but not sure. I’m not trying to stand in the way of progress just upset this wasn’t disclosed. This community is very dark and when the light doesn’t work outside of the unit it’s very dark. Lastly, I realize all beach communities have restrictions such as no tents or shades etc. this location seems to be ridiculous and overcrowded many days. Beach service was booked entire week, bought chairs locally and was told I had to set up in the back since the front row was reserved by beach service. This was at 5:45am. Ridiculous. I am all for restrictions but this location is absurd as stated by The beach service. In closing the property itself is tastefully decorated but I think management needs to be more attentive to complaints when charging that much a week. Many of my concerns were also voiced by others in community. In summary, disappointed.
