Southern Comfort got some nice upgrades completed just in time for the summer season, with all-new decks, remodeled bathrooms, and a new additional half bath. This coastal beach home is located on the canal with access to expansive Back Bay and steps away from the ocean. Southern Comfort boasts the perfect blend of upscale furnishings, beachy colors, nautical artwork, and sophisticated touches throughout. Six beautiful guest bedrooms are tastefully decorated with comfortable mattresses and cool paint colors. The bedroom layout makes Southern Comfort a great choice for larger families or several groups to share with bedrooms and baths located on each of the two levels.

The upgraded kitchen has gorgeous quartz counters with stainless steel appliances, and dining options to accommodate your entire group. The spacious main living area has ample seating for everyone to relax and enjoy their time on vacation. The screened porch also offers extended living space for enjoying the evening breeze and reading a good book.

The west-facing upper-level deck allows for views over the backyard and the sparkling pool. The first-floor west-facing deck that leads out to the pool is spacious and shady, making it an ideal place for relaxing, napping, reading a book, and cooling off. For an even better view, the third-floor Eagle's Nest deck boasts an incredible ocean view and breeze, and a panoramic view - just wait until you see the sunsets!

Rainy days at the beach are no problem, with a converted garage game room that includes board games, movies, books, a Wii gaming system (bring your games), foosball, and a Ping-Pong table. Amenities include TVs in all bedrooms, a pool, poolside basketball, a walkway to dock for fishing, crabbing, or launching a kayak (bring or rent your own), new decks, a game room, free WiFi, a gas grill, horseshoes, foosball, and cornhole.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Loved it
It was a great rental for family of 14. Only a suggestion would be to have a fence placed at the end of the property and a few steps from the docket to get into the canal. we rented kayak's and it was a little difficult to get into them. If anyone is looking for a short walk to the beach this is a great location.

Family Fun Vacation
The location was close to the beach, just a couple of minutes' walk. We also loved being on the canal. The dock was perfect for fishing, I just wish the dock was lower in the water to launch the kayaks. The pool was perfect for relaxation and the yard space was a great place to play cornhole. The house had plenty of room for our family to spread out without being on top of each other. Bedrooms were very spacious, and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and essentials.

4/10 Poor

Disappointing for the price
Pros: Good location near beach (5-minute walk), mattresses were comfortable, pool support team was very prompt and helpful, nice crow’s nest, back decking was new along with new deck furniture. Bathrooms had great water pressure and shower heads were wonderful. Vacasa representatives responded quickly to texts (but note that it may help to go to the local office if the matter is more urgent). Cons: House has a mold smell to it, so if any family members have mold sensitivities you may want to take that into account (it is understandable that mold may be present in a beach rental due to the humidity, but a periodic cleaning beyond the cleaning crew wipe down would be helpful). There were obvious water leaks around windows that were never properly repaired. One bunk room had a heavy mold smell, and we noticed that the bathtub access was behind a dresser and appeared to be the source of the mold smell. The carpeting in the house was very worn. Pool and patio area: The website picture for the dock and pool area are not representative of the current condition. When we arrived, there was no pool net and the chlorine level was high according to pool service technicians (as stated earlier, the pool company was very responsive). Some of the pool jets were not working or wrongly positioned. The mulch around the pool often found its way into the water especially after a storm; pool filter failed due to an electrical wiring issue (very nice electrician who did fix the wiring fairly quickly, but we lost almost four days of pool usage). The grill was very dirty and in need of a deep clean and new grates – when we turned it on it emitted what seemed to be metal rust fragments. The ramp to the dock was very aged (which just a board between dock and steps). The dock gate and railings were also very aged. Cleanliness: Cleaning crew was still cleaning when we arrived, and we had to assist them so we could get our stuff in the house. Fan paddles and HVAC returns clearly not cleaned often. We had to request a replacement HVAC filter as it appeared it had not been changed for some time. Bathrooms: There was mold present in the showers. It is understandable that mold is difficult to control given the humidity and wear and tear, but a periodic deep clean would help to mitigate this issue. Bedrooms: The bunk rooms did not have ceiling fans which caused them to be warmer than other bedrooms. Kitchen: Fridge is in a suboptimal location and blocks one of the entry points. The dishwasher is beaten up and difficult to start, and there is no garbage disposal. It would appear that some of the pans and cutting boards were ever cleaned properly. If you like to cook, be advised that this kitchen will most likely require you to go and buy adequate cookware. Game room: Fridge in game room barely worked (freezer was fine) – we had to use coolers and ice to have cold beverages; we did not care to use the foosball table, but that was not an option as the foosball ball was nowhere to be found. Electronics & Wi-Fi: Downstairs Wi-Fi signal was very weak – had to use cell data most of the time; we were told the TVs were all smart TV’s, however, no remote was ever located for living room TV (luckily there was cable so we could find shows for the kids). As this house appears to be rented frequently, we are at a loss to understand why no one previously brought up any of the aforementioned issues. Overall, we expected more in terms of cleanliness and overall condition for a rental in this price range.

Family Fun and Comfort
I loved the large kitchen and dining area. The kids loved the pool. The two year old loved the screened porch. Everyone loved watching July 4th firecrackers popping along the beach from the poop deck. The home offered delightful spaces for all as we celebrated family together time on our 50th Anniversary!

The BEST house
This house was the most fully equipped house we’ve ever stayed in. There were plenty of dishes, silverware, pots and pans, serving pieces, etc. the game room was great for the kids. Everyone loved the pool, Coe hole and fishing. Would definitely stay again.

Great house, great location! Busy street.
We loved the house being on the canal and a close walk to the beach. The house was big, bedrooms were large and plenty of bathrooms. We had 10 people, and we were very comfortable.

Nice home
Would have gave five stars but the yard needed some landscaping and the pool was quite dirty
