We had a wonderful vacation at this beautiful beach house. The sunrises and sunsets were incredible and the few initial concerns we had were all handled within hours after making them aware. We would highly recommend staying at this house. The community pool is a short walk from the house and the beach access is a few minute walk from there. We would absolutely stay here again!

The house is beautiful, but in a poor location for easy access to water, and the lack of transparency in the listing was disappointing. The gulf is about 1/4 mile walk through dunes, and the bay is a several mile drive to the state park. We rented paddle boards for the week but were unable to use them because of the lack of easy walkable access. Communication was almost non existent with the property management company. I sent a total of 4 texts with several questions, and one phone call that went to vm during regular business hours. Only two questions were addressed after 2 business days and no response to my voicemail. One of my questions was specifically asking for more detailed directions to the bay. "Let me get the bay access information for you," but that information never came. The listing should also have a caveat that the house is not good for people with mobility issues. We had our older parents with us but no access to the elevator in the house. There are a lot of steps in the house. A few other things that would have been nice to know ahead of time, This house sits right on the main road so the sound of the cars driving by is all you will hear. No waves crashing and you will fall asleep to the sound of cars driving by. There is only 1 trash bag for the house for the week, the toilet paper is barely paper so bring your own, not all of the beds will be made up for you before you get there, and bring bug spray.

Reviewer Comments:
The house and location are exactly as the description and pictures show. You have a view out every window and door. Plenty of great space. There is a path right across the street that leads to the beach. The community pool and a paved path to the beach is easily walkable from the house but you can also drive and park to it. Great space for large groups. As with most rentals in the area if you want the views, there are lots of aware for low mobility or small children.....Would absolutely rent here again. Management was also very helpful.

This was our 2nd time staying here and it wasn’t the same experience as we had before. From the start we had problems with the front door handle as it fell apart after entering. Next thing we noticed was that 2 of the bedrooms didn’t have any tv service that we could sign into. One of those rooms was the bunk bed room for the kids. We didn’t come down to the beach to watch TV but it’s nice to have when going to bed. On our first day the AC quit working and had to be repaired. After that we noticed the public beach access across the street was blocked off. This is the access we used last stay and what we were expecting to have. Instead we had to load up our vehicles with all our beach gear and drive half a mile down the road to the private beach access for that community. There is only 4 parking spots there and 1 to 2 spots were always taken up by construction workers working nearby and if you tried to park on the right of way you would be towed. Lastly in the middle of the night on two different occasions the overflow alarm for the septic/sewage went off with a loud beeping that was very annoying. I had to go downstairs outside in the back yard to silence it in the middle of the night or else it would just continue beeping. Our experience staying here for a 2nd time was incredibly disappointing.
