Such an amazing house in a picture perfect setting! We were 4 couples, including a couple young children, in the area for a wedding. Each couple had plenty of room to themself while the downstairs featured a wonderful common space for everyone to enjoy time together. The kitchen and double-sided fireplace were highlights, as was the beautiful wrap around porch. Would absolutely recommend and we hope to return ourselves in the future!

The house is big and has great spaces. The location in WaterSound Beach is gorgeous with lovely beach access. The house decor is older and very “used” but I expected this for the very reasonable price. The issue I had was with the property management company. When we arrive a key was missing from one of the lock boxes (carriage house), there was no hot water in most of the bathrooms, and the outside spaces of the house were really dirty. The hot water took days to resove and I spent a lot of time talking to an overseas call center before finally getting to a local team. The inside of the house was mostly clean but insides of drawers, small appliances, and some surfaces were covered in dust, crumbs, and hair. The carriage house is a great space but there is nowhere to put clothes (no closet, drawers, or even hooks). This was really inconvenient and people staying there had to borrow closet space in other rooms. The supplies that were supposed to be included were inconsistent (broken shampoo dispensers), decaf coffee only, no coffee filters etc. overall, I felt the house was good value for the price, but if you are expecting a luxury VRBO 30A experience, it is a bit disappointing.

Perfect house for our family

House was perfect for us to be able to spread out. We had a few working during the week so the desk areas were perfect. Only thing that would be nice to have is more information regarding amenities ie chair service, pool, key fobs etc. and having a golf cart would add to the overall guest experience. Very relaxing environment. Would definitely return. Highly recommend.

The Carriage house needs hooks, tables etc for guests to put their belongings. Very difficult to lay your things out in and function well.

Great location for multiple families

The Parker was well-stocked. Not only was it super clean and spacious, but the home included extras of the "essentials" that guests typically need throughout the week (dishwashing tablets, laundry detergent, trash bags). The location was convenient to the beach and the amenities in WaterSound. Thanks for a memorable Thanksgiving vacation for our families!

Our family had a wonderful time at the house. The house was very spacious and clean. We loved how quiet the neighborhood seemed and how close inconvenient it was to the Hub, Alys Beach, and Rosemary. The walk down to the beach was super easy and the beach was beautiful. We will definitely be staying at this house again.

This Home should get 10 stars! Absolutely wonderful! Our family of 6 (2 elderly parents, my husband and our 2 teenagers) absolutely loved this home! It was comfortable, spacious, quiet (and by quiet-I mean the insulation was great!) if TV was going on in another room, we could take nap easily) While this wasn’t a beach view, we LOVED this neighborhood! Easy bike ride or walk to the beach/pool! The grounds on the property were beautiful! And the pizza place right on the property was fantastic! A short car/bike ride (or leisure walk) to the Big Chill was a hit for our teens! I give this house A+++!!! The Smith Family❤️

Very nice home in Watersound

Everything about the house was great and exactly as advertised. The only problem we experienced in the house was the wifi made you connect to the property management account. That would not be bad except every hour it kicked you off the system and you had to install your name, email and birthdate to reconnect. If you plan on working from home this can be a major challenge.
