Summer vacay
Overall our stay was great!. We just had a couple of minor issues but management took care of it quickly. The beach was walkable, but if you cannot walk a long way like me you can also park by the beach in the back of the complex which was very convenient. Loved that the free beach umbrella and chair service was available for us to use. We would definitely love to come back again!

Nicely Decorated Rental Home
The place we stayed was clean and nicely decorated. The walk to the beach was about 7 minutes which isn't that bad, but the description and the map shown on the website were not really accurate. It was nice to be able to walk to some of the stores around the property. The communication with the property manager was fine. It's much faster getting an answer when you call than leaving a message via VRBO.

Cozy get away
The unit was close to so many places and about a 8 minute walk to the beach . We didn’t mind the walk because the scenery was beautiful, there’s a cross walk with a bunch of turtles the kids loved ! Loved that we got two beach chairs with the rental at the beach . They had all pots we needed to cook and even an outdoor grill . The rooms are super cute and the beds were soooooo comfy we slept so good and usually we don’t . We would suggest this rental to the next person !

Everything was awesome. Only 2 feedback - The house was clean except for the floor that would make your foot Go dirty but we used the flip flops. And the bunkbed was quite noisy to sleep on. Kitchen and Bath was well equipped. it is a beautifully decorated house!

Overall really great
Upon arrival, some hair in the bathtub and something bloody looking in the corner of the master bath by the toilet was there. There were plenty of bath towels available and everything we needed to make and eat meals there. (7 of us) It was smaller than expected for 7 people (44, 35, 17, 12, 11, 11, and 9yo) The location was great! Close to one cold pool, and one warmer pool, and a short walk to the beach. Beautiful area on a lake, so our children also went fishing at the lake. Short walk to a candy shop, ice cream shop, and beach store! Property manager answered all questions very promptly

Quick Getaway
We wanted a quick getaway. We had hoped to be closer to the beach than we were. When we originally booked, the listing showed us right on the beach which is what made us book. We made the best of it and enjoyed our time. The unit was the perfect size for our group.

Family vacay
My family and I greatly enjoyed our stay at SouthBay #27. It was well-equipped with all of our needs, including lots of beach accessories (chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, floats) in the the outdoor storage room. The free beach service (2 chairs and one umbrella) was also very nice! We would definitely want to stay here again!

Walk to the Beach
Overall it was wonderful. Would also recommend this property.. A little down side was walk to the Beach. It was longer than we all thought. But the good thing we didn’t have to cross any roads to get to the beach! It wasn’t no 15 minutes though.

Overall enjoyable but…
We definitely enjoyed our trip and the unit was nice. The downstairs and master are roomy, while the two other bedrooms are very tight. We definitely overpaid for what it is. Access to the beach can be confusing and the gate code doesn’t always want to work the first time. There was nothing in our booking info about beach service and the private beach is taken over by rental chairs most of the day. We did not know anything about this beach service and we’re quite shocked when we began to be harassed by a stranger wanting to know where we were staying every time we stepped on the beach. He was most unfriendly & unhelpful but after some phone calls and speaking with a different beach employee we were finally comfortable going down to the beach on day 3. So there were some aspects of the stay that were very stressful. We woke up the first morning to ants all over the kitchen. The high chair still had food in it. An entire fake fingernail was found in the pull out couch and that bed was so terrible no one could sleep on it. A pair of thong underwear were also left in the dresser. Not the standard of cleanliness we had expected. The pool and lake were nice and the overall location was convenient although extremely busy location. The unit felt very safe with the front door having a code entry and the sliding door locking and having a board to place down at night to prevent it opening. There was a play pen and canopy tent and tons of beach toys to use in the storage closets. Despite the busy season, it was generally quiet and neighbors were respectful. Overall we enjoyed our time together and the unit and property was okay but we’ll choose somewhere different in future, especially for the money we were charged.
