"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice spot for two people. We had our two younger boys too and we could all stay in the house with no issues. This specific unit isn’t really ideal for cooking specifically due to counter space, but we planned to eat out most evenings so it worked well for us."

"Could not recommend this spot more! It was our first time in 30A and it was a great location. Walkable to coffee shops and restaurants in seaside and a walk to the beach (down a long flight of stairs when you get to the beach just in case anyone isn’t good with stairs). Having a huge sofa was great and the pool was perfect! We will definitely book here again!"
