Great beach getaway

We had a great stay! The home is all completely remodeled and very clean. Walked across the street to the beautiful beach and down to the pier every day. Our neighbors were very nice. Trolly stop is just down the street as well. A very relaxing vacation!

Our first time using VRBO or any vacation rental company. We had an excellent stay. I said in another rating email, that the only ding I have is that the parking for the property should be marked with signs for the property. I was always worried about getting towed away. The house was very nice and clean. Had a small issue with WIFI because name and password did not match the email sent to me. The staff was helpful and responsive. We would absolutely stay in the property again.

Awesome Location/Spacious Property

After the tragic storms that hit this area of Florida I was pleasantly surprised to walk into a fabulous well appointed property with no visibility to any impact from the storms. The location close to the beach and Bridge Street and all its charms was amazing. My companion Lucy my mixed breed beagle enjoyed all the comforts of home. With all the space in the property I wish now I had invited some friends to join me.

Perfect weekend!

We were in town for my sister’s wedding. We stayed for 4 days/3 nights at the property and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was close to the venue (The Beach house Restaurant) and within walking distance to the beach. Plenty of shops around and very close to Bridge Street, that has several bars and restaurants for night time activities. The property itself was very roomy with lots of space for our group of 6 (5 adults and 1 teen). There were all of the beach accessories that you could ever ask for! Wakeboard, sand toys, beach chairs, beach canopy, beach mat…ect. Although we did decide to go out to eat and order in food the kitchen was properly stocked with all the items that one could ever need. We’re already on planning to return to this house and explore the island again.

Great rental!!

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: This house was perfect for our family vacation. They were updating the irrigation system and yard while we were staying there, so while it was nice they were making updates, we were not aware that would be going on. When I had reached out to the management company, they were very accommodating and took full responsibility for not letting us know. The entire inside of the house has been updated, so the house looks even better than the pictures. The shed had a nice grill, beach gear(chairs, blanket, easy up tent, toys, etc) and a bags set. It was a perfect location to the beach and down to bridge street as well, so we did a lot of walking. Our stay was great and we will definitely stay here again.

Island Daze

Although the weather didn't cooperate during our stay, we enjoyed many mornings on the patio. We walked on the beach, only steps across the street. We love the location, parking space, and the cottage. There is plenty of space to sleep, entertain, and eat. The staff quickly responded to a minor repair to the toilets. This is our second time renting here. We will come back.

The location truly was amazing, very short walk to the beach and to little shops and restaurants. Seemed like a very safe area. Beautiful house, super clean and very well stocked, even found some superglue that I needed to use. The best part was their provision of beach stuff! Anything and everything you could want, big beach cart, lots of nice beach chairs, boogie board, tons of beach toys, beach towels, a little cooler, etc. So helpful! A little hose around the side so we could rinse off all the sand. I would definitely stay here again, this might’ve been the best overall house we’ve ever stayed in. Just a note for those who are going to stay, bring some extra toilet paper, paper towels, and coffee if you drink it. But they provided a lot of stuff like laundry detergent, dish soap, tin foil, plastic wrap, trash bags, etc. Parking was not a problem as you can park a few cars in the grass if needed. The entryway little room was great for holding all the beachy sandy stuff and shoes and such. Both showers worked great, very nice water pressure and easy to use. We cooked a good bit there and had no problem. I felt like it was a great price also. The beach was not crowded at all, and the area was generally quiet at night. Easy to get Walmart grocery delivery when arrived. I called and spoke to a very friendly someone before we came so I knew exactly what I needed to bring and what I didn’t. Highly recommend this place! It was my spouse and I and our 2 small children

Great Vacation Stay

We had a wonderful time at this house. It was very clean. The beds were very comfortable. The beach chairs, umbrellas and cart were a great help. The walk to the beach is quick and easy. There are shops and restaurants close by to walk to. The only thing I would question is the description says there is parking for 4 vehicles and you could bring your boat or toys to park. The driveway only fits one vehicle and the street was always taken up by other vehicles of people coming to the beach. I would definitely stay here again!
