Perfect beach getaway! Bike to beach, pool - 4 cruisers included!

Well appointed, well maintained and well stocked. More spacious than the pictures. Short walk to pool and pier on lake where boys fished daily. Beach access worked as there is state park is to East there is a bit less crowd than other parts of 30A.Two pet peeves that I do not hold against the Host because they were out of their control. They are building a new house next door. They started hammering at 7 am each day but arrived earlier. The master bedroom is on that side so it was an unwanted, early wakeup. I do not understand why you would do that construction in the hottest, busiest part of the year. The other involves another renter in our group who stayed on the same street. I understand HOA rules. We had hung our 3 x 5 group sign on a lower porch where you could not see it driving by but could see it from the driveway. It was not so much that the HOA gentlemen knocked and requested it be taken down but the way he did it. The wife answered and she was in the middle of dealing with her elderly parents who were staying with them. She told the HOA gentleman she would get her husband to take it down when he got out of the shower. The HOA gentleman said in a very rude and abrasive way that she would have to take it down NOW and he would not leave until she did. So the HOA has zero problem with folks paying this much being woken before 7 am on their vacation but a huge problem on the level of a felony with a small sign that someone walking by MIGHT see.

This was our second time staying in this neighborhood and first time staying at this property. 5 stars for all! Home is clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with all you need for a great vacation...beach chairs/toys/boogie boards. Kitchen had everything we needed for making simple meals and transporting items to the beach. Diane was a wonderful host and responsive to all our questions. If you have kids, you'll especially love the 1-min drive to the beach with ramp access, parking, and nice bathrooms, as well as the neighborhood pool (3-5 ft deep). We hope to come back soon! :)

Overall this house was great and plenty of room for our family of 5. The first floor was spacious and comfortable. Great kitchen. We appreciated having a few staples there like coffee filters. We also appreciated the beach gear we could borrow. It would be a long walk to the beach with our little ones and beach gear but was a quick drive. Also pretty close (about a mile) from cute area of Rosemary Beach.

We had a great time on our family vacation. The owner was very accommodating and was quick to respond to any questions I had. The home was clean, roomy, relaxing, and well equipped. Coffee pot made good hot coffee and the beds allowed us to rest well! Would love to come back!
