Perfect for 8 adults and 2 children(3 and 1.5yrs). Spacious, clean and comfortable. Loved the golf car and easy access to the beaches. Host was easily reached when needed and resolved a few issues quickly.( ie; lost internet, one burner on grill did not work and king bed frame broke). Owner sent his handyman and all was fixed with in hours. Enjoyed our stay very much. Would love to go back!

House was clean and nice. Golf cart worked great. Neighbors were nice.
This listing was as advertised if not better. I stayed with a group of 6 women. We all had our own space, clean, spacious and relaxing. The beds were really comfortable and reliable AC. The golf cart really made the trip, just a quick ride to the beach and back. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. As other reviews indicated, it is a blank slate. No basics in the kitchen like salt, pepper, oil etc. no left over beach chairs or rafts. So bring what you need.

Reviewer Comments:
I was skeptical about not being directly on the beach; however, this was a great and convenient town. The unit offered a 3-row golf cart, perfect for our size family. The management company, My Vacation Haven, was excellent! Great communication throughout the process and easy to get in touch with and along with. Called on day after arrival to check our needs.The home was a big size and well appointed. Bed rooms were a generous size, baths were very nice, and had the nicest toiletry welcome kit for baths and kitchen. There was a storage area equipped with beach supplies for your use. I have taken many beach vacations and stayed at some pricy units with big management companies that would remove my reviews! I will return to My Vacation Haven’s properties and experience their kindness and quality!!!
I recently stayed at a beach house for a vacation, and while the overall experience was enjoyable, there were a few issues that impacted my stay. One of the main problems was the WiFi connection at the beach house. The signal was weak and unreliable, making it difficult to stay connected and use the internet. This was particularly frustrating as I needed to work remotely during my stay.
Another downside of the beach house stay was the crowded public beaches. Due to the popularity of the area, the beaches were often overcrowded, especially during peak hours. Finding a spot to relax and enjoy the beach became a challenge, and the noise from the crowds made it difficult to fully unwind and enjoy the peacefulness of the beach.
The beach house itself was comfortable and well-maintained. The amenities provided were satisfactory, and the location was convenient, with easy access to restaurants and shops.

What a gem! My family has stayed at various rentals up and down 30A, but this home stood apart! Pro's: golf cart (absolute must for the location), community pool, beaches (the best around), sizable home for family of 5, great management company, quiet end of the strip. Con's: nearby construction (no fault of the owner/management company), distance to shopping/dinning.I would give 5 stars across the board, but where I had 4 stars:Location: mixed bag, quiet end of the strip but still far from shopping/dining. A golf cart is an absolute must - we saw folks walking to the beach with small children sending shivers up our spine.Cleanliness: the home was immaculate, however, the renters before us clearly had a dog that shed. The cleaning crew needed to do a better job cleaning up dog hair.Overall, we highly recommend this home and plan to rent it in the future.
Our family had a wonderful time at this property and overall location in Dune Allen. We had plenty of space and loved the proximity to the beach and the community pool. Beds were very comfortable and the property is clearly new and well designed. The golf cart was a really nice extra that facilitated trips to the beach and local restaurants.
There a couple of complaints that do not overshadow the rating of the house and our experience, but thought worth mentioning. 1. We got an offer to check in early (the day before) for a discounted rate, presumably since the house wasn't rented. That was not feasible with our flight but when I asked about early check-in the day-of (for a fee) the response was a pretty cold "no" and a reminder about the 4pm check-in policy, followed by multiple additional reminders about the 4pm check-in policy and "we hope you understand the rules". It feels like we could be a little more accommodating here if there is not a prior tenant. 2. The floors were dirty enough that our 5yo commented on how dirty they were on his feet. This was immediately upon check-in and not after any in-and-out tracking. 3. The whole neighborhood is under construction. Great to stay in a new home. There was no off-hours disruption. Just might have wanted a heads-up. 4. There is nearly nothing in the house in the way of kitchen consumables. Sometimes there will be basics such as cooking oil and seasonings, coffee filters, etc. We made do.

Excellent home
We were very happy with the house and amenities it had. The location to the public beach access was great and having the provided golf cart was perfect!
If I had to say any drawback it would be that there is a lot of construction happening in the neighborhood so a lot of work trucks coming and going, but the upside to that is the house is very new and feels really clean!

Comfortable and Convenient
House is beautiful! The access to golf cart was wonderful and extremely helpful getting family to and from the beach. The house doesn’t provide any beach towels so make sure you bring your own or there is a Walmart less than three miles away, you can stop there for anything extra you might need (coffee 😉). The description for this place was pretty accurate though. My family and I had a great time!
We had a great time staying in the Serenity neighborhood. It was a quiet location and the beach house was very well appointed. It had a master on the main which was perfect for my father in law & another master bedroom upstairs. The house was very new & very clean. It came with a golf cart which we didn’t end up using. Beach access is just down at the end of the street along with Stinkys Fish Camp. Great Bloody Mary’s and fish tacos!

We really liked the layout of this home, as it was well suited to a large family. This is a relatively new build, so the appliances and bathrooms and basically the whole property felt updated and fresh. It was a 5 minute walk to the beach, but the golf cart was a great addition that made it a 1 minute trip to the beach.
