The worst vrbo experience we’ve had. Management company unprofessional, delayed responses and unhelpful. We way overplayed to not have what we needed, have views of a busy street and be harassed by property manager.

Perfection!
I'm so happy I picked this house for our first time to 30A! It is a beautiful house and in a great location. It is right in the middle of everything. My only complaint is that the shower in the upstairs master bath could be cleaner. Other than that it was perfection!

Beautiful House
Our family loved this house! Our three littles loved the bunk room, the pool and the golf cart. The house is in a great spot and super close to the beach, food and coffee shops. The house was so clean and beautiful. Would definitely love to stay here again!

I celebrated my 40th birthday with a few of my childhood friends at your beautiful beach house. Everyone loved the comfortable beds, couches and location. We also appreciated how clean the home was. We had so much fun remembering old times and creating new memories. We will definitely be back!

Great House, Great Location!
Only issue we had, and it was made larger due to some rain the week we were there, was the pool didn't work most of the week. Despite it being noted as not working on our pre-check-in inspection and by us almost immediately upon check-in, it was not fixed until the day before we had to check out. Again, not a huge deal, and the house is amazing, but since we had rain, and paid more for a house with a pool, it was tough on the kids especially to have a pool that wasn't working.
All that said, we would definitely rent this house again.
