The house was beautiful and exactly as pictured. The space was wonderful for our family of 6 adults and 5 young children. I wish that there was better restroom access for those staying in the bunkroom, but otherwise, it was great.
Check-in instructions seemed clear, but weren't. We received the door code and were told to call security to receive parking passes for our vehicles. We were able to get in the home, but security advised that we would need to physically check-in near the main pool. Upon arrivial at that area, there was some confusion trying to find our reservation and paperwork that needed to be filled out.
We had never been to this area before, but have heard glowing reports of 30A. We had high expectations, but the beach was a huge disappointment. We did not mind the walk to the beach at all, but had planned to use a wagon to carry all of our stuff out. Thankfully, we scouted out the beach our first night and saw the list of rules, which includes, "no wagons." We didn't understand this until we saw the large set of steps that we would have to go down to the beach. The listing never mentioned that the beach access would not be accessible for our wagon, much less certainly being handicap inaccessible. We made the best of the situation, but that was frustrating.
I do not know if this is just because of the season (mid-June), but the private beach was horribly overcrowded. It is a small beach and we were crawling over other people's stuff to get to the water.
