Amazing Family Getaway

We truly enjoyed our stay in this property. The location is excellent. The pool is a nicely sized community pool for vacationers with kids. The rooms were spacious. The kitchen by far is AMAZING! I highly recommend this property. The vacation company is super attentive and will give great tips for the area.

Beautiful home, great location

We had a great time at Chalet Mer. Home is nicely furnished, clean and is located just a brief drive to the beach. Pool area was great. The kitchen is stocked with very basic items . We made dinner 3 nights and had limited cooking utensils and cookware. We made it work but would be nice to have some smaller pots :)

Very Noce

The home is lovely. We had 6 adults and 4 small children. The living room and kitchen are our favorite. The internet is terrible. We know because the weather was not on our side. The pool area is Gorgous. It has an outdoor kitchen and covered patio. Perfect for rainy pool days. The property is steps from the pool. Toilet paper isn’t good. But I’d still rent again.

Nice House but...............

from 7:00 am to 6:00 Pm there was construction on both sides of our Rental . Not a word from anybody prior to our stay -shame on me for not researching it better , but this information should be made available prior to spending alot of money listening to hammers and saws every morning -real nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not- adding insult to injury the Gas grills at the pool stop working while we were using them .

Essentials Missing

This is a lovely, well-maintained home but it is very poorly stocked. There were so few microwave dishes that we had to purchase our own paper plates. The kitchen was nearly devoid of kitchen tools that I consider standard (lighter, scissors, etc.) and we keep running into situations where we didn't have what we needed. Especially with the current pandemic, this is NOT the home to book if you plan to eat your meals in.

Cute townhouse...Great location

I would have given this property 5 stars, but due to a few issues I couldn't. First the property is in a great location. If you rent a golf cart you can get to so many places easily. Secondly the linen was not the cleanest, the ceiling fans had thick layers of dust, and the grounds needed some maintaing (landscaping lights not working and there wasn't an outdoor light on the pool side where they have chairs located). Lastly the home is located in a really nice community that has vacationers and full time residents, and there is a community pool with grilling area and hot tub! On our second day we went to the pool around 11AM, when we got there other residents informed us that someone defected in the pool. The pool was closed the entire rest of our stay because noone came to handle the situation. Although it is not the fault of the Property Management company, it does not reflect well on the company due to noncummunication with the the actual management of the community.

Best rental we've had in years! Managed by Realjoy (great company!) the house was very clean and laid out/ described just as the pictures represent. Our group of 4 adults fit extremely well in the 3 bedrooms, and the Jack n Jill upstairs bath was very convenient! Beds and pillows both super comfortable. More than ample bath linens! Kitchen is adequately equipped and well served our home cooked meals. The great room provides lots of seating around a large coffee table suitable for our nightly board games. The back patio with seating lines the pathway to the pool and is a relaxing end to the evening. The pool water was clean clear and the perfect temperature! Enjoyed the hot tub too! You can watch the sunset and see the gulf by climbing the 66 stairs up the tower (yes, we counted! LOL) Having the bikes with the home was a game changer as this region, as stated, doesn't offer much parking. The beach access 1 mile away, is public and worked out well. On days we weren't able to leave our vehicle, it was a quick drop off and 1 of us would return on bike. Although the public area isn't very big, we were always able to find space for 2 beach umbrellas and 4 chairs. You are able to use all of the beach area from the wet sand to the water - this makes for miles of enjoyment in the crystal clear emerald waters! It would require much more space for me to mention all there is to see and do in this area! Will rebook for sure - and hopefully longer than a one week stay!!!
