Perfect Location

We loved our stay at this house. It was so easy to go from house to beach with private access. The house is older and well loved but it was very clean. The kitchen was lacking some utensils (measuring cups, decent knives and some pots and pans) and extra blankets would be nice. We would definitely stay here again!

A wonderful get away

The perfect location! I absolutely recommend. The house was clean. The beds were clean. The beach was clean. The den furniture could be updated and more comfortable, but we spent most of our time on the beach.

Cute bungalow for a family vacation

Being so close to the beach without crazy traffic of a condo was great. We loved being able to have our Granddogger with us too!!

Unbeatable beach view

Although the house was a little outdated it did not matter to us. The beach access and view was unbeatable. We had little kids and it was great getting them to and from the beach.

Great Beach Front In a Quiet Location

This is a great little house with a nice deck view and easy access to a beautiful and quiet and beach with no crowds to contend with. The house and furniture inside is a little dated but functional. Overall a great experience.

Beautiful views but needs updating

The location of this home is great. The view of the beach and ocean were perfect. The furniture is stained and leather chairs are ripped and old.

Incredible Gulf-front location. House was very comfortable. We were missing some bed linens and a grill when we arrived but the online Vacasa agent notified the local management right away and they reacted quickly and courteously to provide them.

Sweet vacay

We had a great stay. Our concerns were safety for our toddler... the front door didnt lock on the inside (we shoved a chair under the door knob), and the sliding glass door was hard to latch and get locked. The other houses are butted up close, so that could be a concern depending on when you come.. we came in the middle of the week and didnt get neighbors until the weekend, which was nice. We came durring hurricane francine and were worried with other reviews of the property, but it was an overall good stay for us (family of 6)

Right on the beach, but needs improvement

Furniture needs replacing. Upstairs shower contains mold. The place is tidy, but not clean. The saving grace is that it's on the beach, but the underneath of the house is not clean so it's impossible to not track sand into the house. AC is nice and cold. Not enough blankets or towels.

Spring Break Stay

The home was great for what we needed it for. It's right on the beach and was a nice space. The home is not really updated and had some weathered spots (scrapes and holes in walls, mismatched flooring, doors had unattached weathering strips). We were a family of 6 and the 3 bedrooms worked out for us. The couch and furniture, including mattresses, has seen some wear and tear as well. But as I said, it was a nice quaint stay.

Beautiful View

The proximity to the water from the home is the best thing about this rental. The ease of stepping right out of the door and onto the sand is unmatched. The next best thing is being able to bring our Golden Retrievers with us. They are larger dogs and not many places will allow their stay.

Pictures are deceiving

This house has the potential to be fabulous. The location couldn’t be much better but the furniture is so old, dirty and uncomfortable it’s hard to enjoy it when you’re inside. The pictures that are posted on the rental sites much be from years ago. It’s the same furniture but with a lot more wear and tear. The cookware wasn’t any better. We were pretty disappointed. I sent the property manger pictures and they said they would adress it after out stay. Hopefully they will.

Would stay again!

Great location, just far enough from condos and public beaches that the beach was not occupied in front of the house. Close enough to retail and restaurants to be convenient. Coffee or breakfast on the deck with a perfect view of the beach. Kitchen and bathrooms appointed with enough amenities you don't need to bring anything. Laundry was easy to use as well. Wi-Fi sufficient for me to get my work done if I needed. If this property is available, I'd be back yearly, if not more often.

Beach

The house layout was fantastic. The room upstairs is great. The views were absolutely priceless. The only thing I would say is the furniture seemed a little dungey or dirty. And the ceiling fan in the living room had tons and tons. Caked on dust, but you can't really. Expect too fancy when you're allowed to bring your dog.

Great Location, Completely Unkept

The location is perfect, and easily the best part of the property. The property is old and could use some updating, but that could be completely ignored if it weren't absolutely disgusting. Both bathrooms were covered in mold, like true green and black chunky mold. The whole property was covered in dirt, dust and grime. The sofa itself was sunken, worn and in desperate need of a washing. I should have trusted the previous reviews because they were completely spot on. I loved the location and ease of access to the beach, but that's where anything positive about this property ended.
