This property location is spectacular with beautiful beach views and access. For our party of 12 we had plenty of room. Negatives were that virtually nothing is provided. No beach chairs, empty propane tank, no condiments, worn mattresses, etc. For the price paid, I would expect a little more to be included. This is also a “duplex” which wasn’t clear, so we had neighbors. That said, we had a great time and really enjoyed the location. I would return to this area again for sure.
We spent the days after Christmas and NYE at this gorgeous house. It was the very best Christmas present! The house is beautiful, and the ocean-front location right on a very quiet beach, away from crowds, was wonderful. We can’t wait to go back!
Very relaxing! Accommodations looked exactly as pictured. Private beach setting, not crowded, in quiet neighborhood. Walk to restaurant and shopping - about 15-20 mins.
This was a fantastic place. We rented both East and west sides of the house the whole house we enjoyed ourselves immensely, and Rebecca with the Properties management company was one of the best girls we had ever dealt with. We want to thank them and also want to thank all the restaurants for feeding us so well such great seafood we had a great week.
We will for sure book this house again. One of the better places we’ve stayed at along 30A over the course of 15 years. This house was awesome. The view, location, and cleanliness was great. The recent upgrades inside of the house was a huge plus.

Reviewer Comments:
We loved this rental and had great contact with the property manager.
We had our Thanksgiving Family trip and this house came with everything we needed to feel right at home. The view of the beach immediately draws you in. This house provided privacy and a wonderful exclusive spot on the beach. Every room was beautifully designed. We are already looking to rebook this home and we just got back 2 days ago.
Great house but the best is the location and the beach. Beautiful and private, what's not to love! Only issue is that the listing says "'Newly Designed", probably should say "recently" as there are some signs of age/wear which is to be expected a rental property. Just be aware that it is not "new" everything anymore. Still all in all a terrific place to call home for your time in the area.
Beautiful home with an unbelievable view. Wonderful kitchen with all of the necessary dishes, cookwear and appliances. Stove quit working in the middle of dinner although Beach Blue was VERY responsive, came to the house and resolved. Jeremy is a wonderful guy who helped. Beds are comfortable and bedrooms are spacious as well. Minor things need to be fixed but nothing a good maintenance person can’t take care of. I will not detail in this summary but I am happy to offline with a phone call or separately email. Owners would not know unless they stayed there and occupied the entire house like our family did. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful home.

Beach week
The late checkin was hard!
Especially when flying in ….
After 4 you miss the day.
Bathrooms were not too impressive needed more hooks for towels and clothes. Only one shower the rest tubs. Outside deck and outside shower was not clean but the upstairs deck was amazing. Great napping couches!
Great location though, our favorite beach by far ❣️

The view is spectacular. The house was nice , good amenities. A shoutout to the rental company for a quick response when the oven blew a circuit breaker . We finally found it to reset it then all was well. There are a few items that need to be fixed. The gas grill puts out little to no flame. One of the upstairs bedroom needs the blinds fixed. That was it, we enjoyed the stay even though the weather decided not to cooperate.
Location and house were great!!!!
Housekeeping is pretty bad and to be honest is was difficult to believe that anyone actually cleaned before our check in. The first floor bedroom had dead roaches under the bed and there were pretzels on the floor around the couch. There was a half empty water bottle by the outdoor grill and it didn’t seem like anyone ever does a good wipe down of things.
We had a group of 4 couples and stayed in the East side of the duplex.
First of all, this beach area is a rare find as it is a private beach of houses surrounded by state park beaches, so very little crowds. The walk from the house down to the water is super easy and the beach and water are beautiful as expected on the Emerald Coast.
Secondly, the house looks exactly like the pictures! Nice views of the beach water from the living area and both King bedrooms. We could watch sunrise from the patio every morning and sunset from the beach.
Furniture was comfortable and accommodated our large group. We were so pleased to find a place with a large dining table! Well equipped kitchen had plenty of storage for our food and beverages as we cooked there every night. Minor issues reported were resolved quickly by the management company. Note: downstairs queen bedroom is very small
Overall great experience and we will definitely rent again next time we head to the Gulf Coast!

Reviewer Comments:
This duplex-style house was spacious, had a great floor plan, and was perfectly located (on the beach and in a small neighborhood.) We had a family of 3 couples, one single, and a baby and fit very well. It is close to so many good restaurants and shopping while still being on a more remote part of 30A. We would have rented again if it weren't for all of the problems we had with the actual house. The plugs in two baths didn't work and took two days to get fixed. The wifi didn't work, was never fixed, and we were told had been out all summer. We had to share with the other side of the duplex, which was unsafe. The microwave worked off and on and ended up not working at all the last two days. The stovetop quit working on the last day as well (it would start then turn off). The lights in the downstairs bath worked sporadically. Two of the three drawers in the master bath were broken and couldn't be fixed during our stay. We also had a leak in the main living space when it rained. The management company gave us a $400 refund, but that did not make up for all of the problems considering the amount we paid to have nicer accommodations.

We loved the location of this beach house and it was perfectly suited for my husbands' weekend celebration for our son and his friends. We love a big kitchen and comfortable beds. We'll definitely be back!
Luxurious house, impeccable location, everything was in great condition and the direct access to the beach was a dream. The pre-stay communication was fantastic and directions provided, recommendations for beach chairs and supplies were very helpful. Truly a wonderful house, experience and location.
Just what we expected, perfect location, comfortable,practical. Will be back in May, Good Lord Willing!
