Beach Retreat

The location of this cozy cottage is awesome. You are literally five steps to the boardwalk and then at the beach. It’s very close to Johns Pass and many restaurants and bars. It had all the necessities for our nine day stay. There were not any beach chairs or umbrellas, but we were able to rent some for the week.

Beautiful weekend

My husband and I rented this unit out for 4th of July weekend. Beautiful comfortable clean unit right on the beach. Everything we needed was there very convenient. We could not have asked for a better place to rent and enjoy our fourth of July together and see all the fireworks on the beach. We will definitely be back many times in our future.

Small but Cute

Awesome location! Boardwalk was closed due to it being damaged probably from the hurricane. You do have to provide your own toiletries and the walls are paper thin. Lucky for us we only had one day of neighbors. The owner always responded within 15 minutes to a half hour! Very quick response time! They also allowed our friends to park in the lot as well on our beach days. Very easy checking in and out! The neighborhood was basically pretty quiet except for some dogs barking. All in all is what I expected. It was a nice stay.

Perfect Private Beach Escape and Excellent Property Management Staff

First I want to send a huge Thank You and Kudos to Donna and Cheri! You guys rock! Rock Lobster is a quaint little house right off Sunshine Beach which is super quiet. A quick walk down the public access beach boardwalk which is right outside the door and you are on the beach. You feel like it's your own little slice of paradise. Unit #1 was very clean and any needs were attended to promptly. The property has ample parking for multiple cars at both units. We had a wonderful week and would definitely rebook and recommend booking to anyone wanting a private / quiet place to stay.
