Family vacation

Very nice house with a short walk to the beach. Golf cart is new and was fun for short trips. Our kiddos loved the pool as well as the small turf area for playing. I enjoyed walking in the neighborhood and felt very safe there. We had plenty of space for our three families to spread out, and the big kitchen allowed for several of us to be in there at once. This property was a great location for our annual family beach vacation.

Exceeded Expectations!!

This house and location could not have been any better! The first floor kitchen/dining/living area was perfect for family night devotions, conversations and card games. The pool area was just off the main living area close to the kitchen making it easy for lunches and snacks out by the pool. The sun shelf was a plus for the little one! Lots of seating by the pool and the older kids enjoyed many games of ping pong and corn hole! The turf grass was awesome! No stickers so you could walk around barefoot! We were shocked to find a garage stocked with bicycles, pool floats, 8-10 beach chairs, lots of beach towels, umbrella, beach wagon, cooler on wheels and many other things that I’m sure I’m missing! The house was an easy 5 minute or less walk with great access to the beach at the end of the street. Older kids and adults enjoyed the coffee shop and breakfast burritos at cafe amore about 1 mile down 30a. By golf cart it only took a few minutes to get there. We’re not big seafood fans so we tried Mimmo’s Italian a 5-10 min drive and it was a fan favorite! My only suggestions would be to put TV back on porch. In the pictures it shows a TV but it was not there during our stay. The kitchen was pretty well stocked with glasses, dishes and utensils but we needed large pots and pans for feeding our large crowd. Would also recommend a complete knife set. We didn’t have enough for steak dinner night! Otherwise our week could not have been more perfect! Book this house!

The ultimate home for a Family getaway!

This was our second stay in this home with our children and grandchildren and we can't say enough about how much we love our time here. The amenities of this property saved our vacation due the beach being double red flagged throughout the majority of our stay, due to weather conditions. A few of our favorite things about this property is that there is plenty of areas for everyone to have their space, the fabulous gourmet kitchen, the outdoor space / pool area and the close proximity to the beach. We also enjoyed walks and bike rides with our grandchildren around oyster lake.

Had a wonderful time with two families (9 people) staying at the property. Hosts were great and very on top of communication, as was the property manager. House was clean and had plenty of space, including room for several more than we had. Just a few blocks to beach access. Backyard area with pool, turf, fire pit, and covered back porch is among the best you’ll find on 30A. Would definitely stay here again!

The home is very nice, however some unfortunate issues popped up that we had to deal with. Main Freezer in kitchen, not working, freezer alarm peeping throughout the week and had to daily mop up the water on the floor, because of a toddler was a bit annoying. Had to use freezer in garage. Not a big issue but it was much smaller and we had a big crew. Also, one hot water heater broke early in our week, owner fixed it as quickly as he could but meant no hot showers for us till the day before we were leaving. Bummer but it happens. And the top floor gets uncomfortably hot, there is AC but it does not make a difference, it was very hot there for the people who used the beds on the 3rd floor. I realize things break, so can’t

Fun and Generously Accomodating across Three Generations

We visitied with our Daughter/Son-in-law and their three children (ages 3-5-8) and their other grandparents. The house had all of the accomodations for an active famiy, plenty of space for together time and also areas for quiet quiet time when needed. It was also convenient that each floor has it's own thermostat to suit varying comfort levels. We also enjoyed the breeze from the balconies. Loved the gourmet kitchen, bicycling around the neighborhood, close proximety to some of our favorite places to eat. We loved this lovely home and location so much that we booked it again for next year within the week of our return home.

Fall Break 2023

We had a delightful Fall Break at this property. The house and amenities were as described in the listing. It was nice to have a pool when the kids were ready to return home from the beach and relax before dinner. We cooked most meals at home and enjoyed our dinners on the porch. After dinner, we did smore's at the fire pit while the kids did night swimming. It was a short walk to the beach, but we did rent a golf cart, which helped with shuffling kids and beach equipment back and forth. The homeowners provided great communication and follow-up after our stay. I would stay at this property again and most certainly recommend it for your stay.

Beautiful Home

This beach home is beautiful and checked all the boxes for my daughter's bachlorette trip. It has a big kitchen and big bedrooms. The decor is white and very pretty but just hard to keep clean. The pool and backyard are really nice. The walk to the beach is an easy 5 minutes unless you're lugging a bunch of beach stuff and then it takes longer. Beach access has 3 sets of steps. No Ramps...so we found using our beach buggies were more trouble than helpful. It's easy going down to the beach and hard coming back up to the house. Golf cart rental is recommended!

Great trip! Beautiful house!

The house is even more beautiful in person than the photos. The outdoor space is amazing as the kitchen and family open right up to covered porch, pool and patio. Great evenings hanging out at night and playing corn hole, ping pong and swimming. One of the best houses we have ever rented. Beach was short walk and we rented a golf cart to carry all the stuff and parked at that access right across with no problem. Only negatives were very small issues and not a big deal to us… washer and dryer are very loud and right off kitchen with no door, outdoor lights did not work due to water in bulbs and mattresses not super comfortable but positives of the house far outweighed those smaller things. Hosts were very responsive and check in and out was very easy. Highly recommend this house!

Spectacular house and accommodations

This was a trip with my family and my brother's family ( party of 10 adults) and the house was just perfect for all of us! The house is very new with many upgrades and finishes and was extremely clean. There was more than enough room for all of us, which proved so wonderful on the couple of days where it rained and we had to stay indoors. There were plenty of beach chairs that were in great condition and bikes as well. Plenty of beach towels and the washer and dryer was amazing, which is not always the case in many homes. The backyard is absolutely wonderful and the pool was great for days where there were double red flags on the beach. Any questions we had were immediately responded to by the hosts. We would stay here again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend it enough! Thank you for allowing us to stay and enjoy your most beautiful home!
