Beach patrol was wrong!!

Maybe I missed it but we didn’t know we were going to be in a duplex. No problems with our neighbors but I wouldn’t have rented it had I know. We were abruptly told to take all of our chairs and tent at 9pm at night. That’s not right. We were threatened with penalties.

Great place to beach!

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!

Beautiful home- just needs a little attention

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.

NOT Luxury

The most redeeming quality is the location, view and proximity to the beach. Otherwise, very disappointing.The house is cheaply fashioned, not well maintained, doors that don’t close properly, broken window shades, poorly insulated, bedrooms are very inequitable, furniture did not fit the space, overall aesthetically not appealing in real life. Beds were uncomfortable with hard pillows and a thin quilt. The house would shake when someone came down the stairs (which were VERY dangerous for small children!!!) The guests staying on the West side of the house were also in agreement when we compared notes. Did not feel clean. There were items (including UNDERWEAR) from previous guests left in the closet, drawers and under the bathroom vanity. Towels were old and dingy, kitchen organization was a total mess. Stove/oven would shut off periodically during use and we had to reset the main breaker switch outside. A/C was on a schedule and the house got very warm in the middle of the night. Absolutely not worth the cost. Do not expect a luxury experience as advertised. We have been coming to the area for years and have stayed in much nicer properties.

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.

Wonderful!

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!

Great location, but too many problems!

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: 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.

Week with the family

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.

Perfect beach vacation

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.

February 2024 Stay

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.

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.

Lack of cleanliness

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.

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 ❣️

Excellent experience. Place was recently updated so everything was new. Biggest drawback was there were only 2 rooms with views and all the mattresses felt cheap. Beat beachfront property in the area!!!
