Great place

This house was great. The location was easily within walking distance of the beach. The place was spacious enough that 6 adults could manage without crawling all over each other. The master bedroom was especially the highlight with a kind bed and plenty of room. The shower in the master bedroom was phenomenal with glorious water pressure. After a day at the beach, that shower was a godsend. The only thing that was even the slightest negative (and this was an inconvenience not a true negative) was the driveway. One of our party had a larger truck and it was a tight fit. But let’s be honest here as this is a first world problem not a dealbreaker. How could you complain about this when the rest of the place was truly wonderful. We would stay here again for sure on the next vacation to 30A!

Seaside Stay

This was in the perfect location & it was such a cute home. The perfect beach vibe. All of us absolutely loved the house and said we would come back. My only complaint is when we went to do laundry, the washing machine smelled very mildewy, as I know that is common with front load washers. Overall, we had an amazing time here.

All your bedding sheets pillows are very poor quality or not even provided * not one blanket... they looked dirty and old 2.A serious red ant infestation I called no one called back 3.All the floors were very dirty washer smelled badly all bases of cabinets have never been cleaned EVER... 4.PROVIDING ONE TOILET PAPER PER BATH AND ONE ROLL OF PAPER TOWEL, NO CLEANING PRODUCTS NOT EVEN A DAY OF WATER IS JUST SOO CHEAP AND REFLECTS ABSOLUTELY NO SENCE OF HOSPITALITY, NO UMBRELLA... TABLE LAMPS BROKEN MASTER TV WORKS SOMETIMEs. NEVER CONTACTING US WITH ASKING HOW WE WERE DOING OR IF WE NEEDED ANYTHING AGAIN VERY POOR HOSPITALITY ... WE OWN A FEW APTS ON RENTAL SITE NEED A NEW MANAGING and cleaning group I blame the owners for not being interested.. it shows 100 percent NO PERSONAL TOUCHES .... THE ONE GREAT THING WAS THE WATER PRESURE...great for showering.

We had such a wonderful time at the beach house! Literal steps to the ocean, beautiful porch on both floors, and very comfy sleeping accommodations. I will definitely stay with this company again. Do note, the driveway only fits 2 full size SUVs max, and there is no street parking available.

Gulf Mist was great!

Our stay at Gulf Mist was very enjoyable. The house was beautifully decorated and clean. The open layout of the kitchen and living space was great. Our family spent a lot of time sitting outside on the wraparound porch both upstairs and down. It was perfect for some of the more rainy days during our vacation. The bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds. The house was in a convenient location to many restaurants and a very short walk to the beach access or to the neighborhood swimming pool which was never too crowded. The property mgmt came by to make sure we were happy with everything in the home and we had noticed the outdoor grill wasn’t working. They came back the next day with a replacement. We called the property mgmt team a few weeks prior to our trip and was able to reserve a golf cart for the week of our stay. The cart was ready to go upon our arrival and was a fun addition. We would definitely stay at Gulf Mist again and highly recommend!

Family vacay

Was a great trip. Overall the house was great. We loved the balcony. It was our shortest walk to the beach and the walk was a nice docked area. The only thing was the outdoor grill has seen its days. The downstairs shower lacked a bit of privacy. But overall a great trip

Great location and layout

Overall, the house is solid. Great layout. Great location. Tons of outdoor space. We had a nice trip. However, the cleanliness needs some attention. There was dirt/stains all over all the downstairs and master bedroom furniture covers. We sat on blankets that we brought with us. Stains on the towels (gross!) All the baseboards, handles, and cabinet indentions need to be wiped down. The grill was also gross. If they'd correct these issues the house would be perfect.

Sweet Cottage by the Sea

We loved the location and layout of this home. Furniture was a bit worn but comfortable. Loved the 2nd floor porch and chairs. Kitchen was decent and loved the large eat-in counter/table. Great for family dinners and working. Only some minor drawbacks: 1) location of home is right on 30A so traffic noise was fairly constant. Of you’re a light sleeper, bring a white noise machine. The master bedroom is very nice - roomy with sitting area and TV. We loved it but hated the bed. Two troughs made it touch for side or stomach sleepers. Otherwise, it was a great home!
