We have stayed many times and love the area, the house had several broken appliances, needing some updating in kitchen and some bathrooms (broken tiles, appliances ect) . To spend over 13,000 and not have one coffee filter in house to start stay, salt/pepper very basic items was a real bummer.

Great location, unfortunately the house is in disrepair
The property management company was unable to heat the hot tub and pool due to an issue. The freezer was frozen shut and they were unable to repair it during our stay. One of the ovens did not work. There was damage to the walls and door handles were falling off. Recommend finding an alternative beach property.

Spacious, Relaxing and Well Equipped
We had a wonderful vacation at this location. The house has room for large families and comes very well equipped with everything that you would need. The house is nicely decorated but it is an older house that you can tell has been used. Beach access is so close but there really isn't beach views except from the upstairs bedrooms. Pool was great and spa heat starting working after a call to the property mgt. They were very helpful during our stay. Location was wonderful and very peaceful, at times you felt that you had the beach all to yourself!

Wonderful Beachfront Property!
This property was amazing. So very clean, and had everything we needed for cooking, and celebrating 2 little boys birthdays. The house is set up with large bedrooms, and the beds, I have to say best sleep we all had… each morning we would say, wow, are those beds comfy! The house has large bathrooms with nice little toiletries as well as an area the boys (3 under 7) could play their board games while we cooked, or had a conversation. The pool and jacuzzi were heated upon arrival, and the beach… well its the beach and it was perfect. Even with rain the 1st 2 days we loved this house… We stay here in Forest Beach/Palmetto area 4-5 times a year, and this was a house we would definitely return to again. Comfy, clean, equipped, and decorated beautifully.. Great house!

Beachfront Gem
This is our 2nd time renting this property and we would highly recommend it. It’s proximity to the beach is ideal and we love its large eating and dining area. Ample beds and bathrooms for large families.
