Family Fun Get Away

Perfect for our family - close to beach and local attractions. Plenty of room and great kitchen! Suggest adding small rugs at entrances to capture sand. Also suggest a binder with codes, list of amenities, how/where to use the bonus card and local attractions. Thanks for a great stay!

Ruth's Gwins Family Vacation

The house was in a gated community with a lot of property rentals. The pool was heated and a big hit with the kids. The Golf cart was very useful when we went to the beach. The Kitchen had the utensils you'd need in a kitchen to make various meals. Definitely recommend and will look this unit up whenever I'm traveling to the area.

Pool was nice to have and the golf cart is such a nice addition. We took the golf cart almost everywhere even though we had a rental car. Dollar General is really close and has the necessities you need on vacation.

Stay could be better is appliances worked.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We arrived on 5/17. On the 16th I received a call saying the golf cart would be replaced. Then arrived found out the golf cart wasn’t operating properly. Couldn’t drive to the restaurants at night because the lights wouldn’t turn on neither would the monitor. Then put all our groceries in the fridge/freezer wasn’t cooling. there was a fridge in the garage as well and that one also did not worked, Next day maintenance brought a mini fridge and freezer. Good thing we brought our coolers with the inconvenience to buy ice everyday multiple bags. 11 people in a house with mini fridge- 🙄. Also, the grill only worked the front flames. Tried to use it but it was taking for ever to get hot - super annoying due to the amount of meat we bought. The last day the office called and asked if they can come and fix the cart and I then stated no point we are checking out tomorrow.

White sand get away

The house was exactly as the website showed. Lots of beach chairs, umbrellas and sand toys in the garage to use which was very helpful. Short distance to the beach access. We loved having the golf cart to tote everything to the beach access area and then able to park the cart close by. Also loved having the golf cart to peruse the area and pick things up at the local store. The only downside was not having the accurate code to get in the gated area. Our stay started on the 1st of the month but the code we received was for the previous month which was forwarded to us a few days prior to our stay. I contacted them right away about this. I got a timely response saying we would have an accurate code prior to our arrival. Unfortunately, I never received it despite me contacting the management company multiple times via email and text the day before and day of our arrival. My husband and daughter arrived by our check in time and tried the previous months code without success. I finally called the number provided by the management company and was able to speak to someone. However, this individual didn’t have the accurate code either. About an hour after our check in time, we finally got the accurate code. Other than the check in issue, we had a great stay and loved the house, community and would stay there again.

Of the rentals we have stayed in this neighborhood, it is was one of the most dated. With a little bit of freshening up - this place would be better as we liked the layout. The furniture, especially the couch is in sub par condition. The coffee table was extremely wobbly. The main bath shower needs refinishing as was cracked enamel. The laundry basket in the main bedroom was moldy, the bath mats and rug runner was disgusting. The main bedroom bed was horrible and able to feel the springs. The bedroom furniture is super cheap and no place to store folded clothes. Overall this place is ok and the host was super responsive. We had a great time in the area and having a golf cart is key. While we likely won't rent this house again, it certainly isn't the worst option out there. It is the beach and we weren't spending much time at the house.

Spring break

Pretty great experience. The location and home itself were amazing.. The only thing I wish is that we had the option to gain access after it was cleaned and ready to go. We had friends across the street (different rental company) and we knew it was ready 2 hours before we were allowed access. After traveling so far it would have helped a lot!

Excellent stay!

We had a terrific stay here. Property was as described. Kitchen was well appointed with plenty of dishes and small appliances and the house was very clean. It is close to the beach and was fun to zip around in the golf cart. You do have to walk a short block from the golf cart parking to the beach entrance. That was fine for us, but just a note for anyone with mobility issues. Some days the beach parking was totally full so it was nice that this neighborhood has dedicated parking and entrance. They provided plenty of towels and cute little gift boxes of toiletries. Property management was very responsive and helpful. I would love to see the primary bath renovated--but either way I look forward to staying here again.

Great location

Good experience. Some.negatives were not having a garage door opener, the bathtub drain being clogged with hair from a prior guest, and the pool heating cost being very expensive for 3 days and not communicated at time of paying for rental. Positives were great location, golf cart access, private beach gate access, loads of pool and beach toys accessible, tons of kitchen appliances to use, and house was nice and spacious. Also when calling about gate issues the calls were answered immediately and issue was resolved. Overall I would stay again.

Nice house!

The house was just as advertised! There were only a few issues. We did not have the gate code on arrival. We didn't have beach access but not a big deal because we had use of the golf cart. Lastly, the pool alarm in the house wasn't ever mentioned and was extremely annoying! Aside from those little things, the house was great and we definitely enjoyed our stay!
