Clean house with a well stocked kitchen for our needs.

We had an amazing time at this incredibly well taken care of home celebrating a milestone birthday with friends! We had everything we could have needed and will definitely be back.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
It was AMAZING! Great communication with both 30A escaped and the owner of the house. Parking, was awesome. You could fit around 6 cars in the driveway which is so nice. Our fridge was not getting cold, within an hour of contacting them they sent a replacement and even went out of their way to transfer our stuff from one fridge to another. Beds were comfortable, plenty of towels in each room, kitchen was well stocked with stuff to use and cook in. BEST LOCATION EVER. Walking distance to ajs, walked to beach (our beach access it was so calm and not busy when we went), we walked to eat dinner at red bar! Never used our car once. Great for family or big group of friends with tons of seating in the living room and dining room as well. The only complaint which I’m still highly satisfied was the fireplace even thought we didn’t use has very old chairs which could be an easy replacement and it has a lot of trees in the bad so it can get shady a lot of your trying to tan but that’s nothing! 10/10. I will 100% be booking this place again in my future!
6 / 10Average·Aug 2023
Pros: Great location (5-10 min walk to beach access). A great pool space with ample shade for littles. Well stocked kitchen with good open floor plan for families. The Christmas lights made for a great vibe at nighttime! Cons: House is 3 stories with 1 old HVAC unit. House was set to 70, but rarely cooler than 75 the entire stay due to the super high temps the week we stayed. Mice poop in cabinets and utensil drawers, HUGE dead and alive cockroaches, black scum/mold in bathrooms. Hairs from prior guests in bathrooms and on our “clean” linens upon arrival. No pantry so your groceries are taking up the whole countertop. The living room remote battery is dying and doesn’t work properly. The Dryer takes 2-3 cycles to properly dry the towels we washed. The property is very worn and needs a lot of work. I did make the Property Management Company aware of the pest control issues and they are scheduling pest control services. We had a great vacation because we refuse to let anything ruin our fun, but we would not stay here again. Would not recommend.
