Lovely beach house

We enjoyed the beach house. Lovely back yard. We had a small dog and the fenced in yard was perfect for him.The area was lots to do within walking distance. The locals appreciated our support as they come back on line after the hurricane.Great place to stay!

Good but a bit sparse

This property checked most of the boxes, but was the most sparse of any rental houses we’ve had in Indian rocks. The beds were super soft and a bit uncomfortable. A good stay overall and nice location.

I would suggest you add Keurig coffee machine to the amenities. The Flavored coffee was nice, I am just a purist when it comes to coffee. I had brought my own ground coffee. That was the only snaffu I found. Thanks for a nice stay!

8 days in Florida

We spent 8 days at this property, and for the price and location, I'd recommend a hotel. It is not beachfront like advertised. There was stuff splattered on the walls and pubic hair in the bathroom. We requested to cancel as soon as we arrived like you could do if you were renting a hotel, but they refused. Would not recommend for the price.

Our stay

We enjoyed our time there. It was in a good location to go to other places. The walk to the beach was not bad at all. The only problem we had was the people staying in the other apartment. They had taken the umbrella and beach wagon that belong to our side of the apartment. They loaded them up in their car and I asked to have ours for the next morning. The next morning came and One of them had come outside to smoke so I had to ask for the wagon for our side. We bought a umbrella at target so that we would have one the other people had it.

Best part was location

Just a short walk to the beach was the best part. There were restaurants,bars & a convenience store minutes away on foot. Place was very clean, two king beds were very comfortable. Had most of the items listed—did not see a hairdryer though. Bathroom exhaust fan did not work. Bathroom door only shut if you lifted up on the door knob & pushed the top of door towards the hinges. Breaker blew several times for kitchen outlet. Electricians were there several times. AC quit and was not usable for 10 days of our 27 day stay, we were able to open some of the windows and there were 2 fans in the laundry room we were able to use. Electrical issues were considered to be glitches by the owner caused by the two hurricane the previous fall. The owner did get the electrical issues taken care of. Would be nice if there were small dressers in each bedroom with drawers for renters staying longer than a few days. The management did respond to our emails in a timely fashion and we were refunded one night of our stay.

Excellent place to stay in a lovely, quiet IRB neighborhood!

This property is awesome! The front unit is in a great location; quiet neighborhood and you can walk to the beach, restaurants and parks. There is enough parking for up to 4 cars if needed. That is nice if you have friends come to visit you at the beach as parking is tight! I loved the colorful decor! It was cheery and bright without being obnoxious. Each bedroom has a king size bed, very comfy and each room has a fan to block noise or create white noise! That was the best surprise for my friend and I, as we both sleep with fans on at home! Everything you need is provided in the kitchen-had 2 coffee makers, a Kuerig and a regular coffee pot. Toaster, pots, pans, dishes and utensils as well. Extra blankets & sheets in bedroom for the pull out sofa or if you need another blanket. Beach towels, chairs, umbrella and a wagon are provided for each unit. We definitely used everything! I noticed that a Carter Vacation Rental employee made a stop each weekday to check on the outside of the property. Talked with one gentleman one morning; very friendly! We had a lovely and relaxing vacation here. Check in is smooth and you will have a lovely and worry free time!

Good rental

This rental was clean and in a good location. It's pretty bare bones though. There are no dressers in bedrooms and the place lacked some basics. There were 5 of us staying for more than a week, and yet we were given one 2" round bar of soap and two tiny shampoo/conditioner tubes. In the kitchen there is salt but no pepper, no aluminum foil or saran wrap, no storage containers for leftovers if you're cooking meals there. No scissors, no clips for open bags. These things seem small but make a big difference and have been provided in other rentals. We did appreciate the beach wagon, chairs, and umbrella. We had a great time, but these are some areas which could use improvement.

They got rid of the sofa couch so we were short a bed. The unit only sleeps 4 not 5. This made it stressful for us in the beginning. It is a great location and it was clean but had some maintenance issues which they addressed. The beds are comfortable, it was quiet, loved the wagon with the beach stuff, easy to get to beach, nearby shops.

About the host

Bruce Carter
Carter Vacation Rentals
Here is just a quick overview of my career along with a few of Carter Vacation strengths in the rental industry.
I have been involved in the hospitality field most of my life. After graduating from Boston University back in 1986 I got my start working as a night auditor in a small hotel in Boston. I was fascinated with this industry and wanted to know everything about it. I learned all aspects of each department and through the years I became the General Manager of some well-known hotels and upscale boutique inns. During my corporate career as a General Manager of a Hyatt Hotel in Tampa Florida, I had an opportunity to manage a small beach vacation rental along the shores of the Gulf. Simply put…I was hooked. This became my new passion and career. My team and I have worked hard over the years and I feel our success at Carter Coastal Vacation Rentals is from having a variety of vacation property options that suits each guests needs and budget
We also have chosen to keep Carter Vacation Rental business relatively small in order to maintain a personable connection with each of our new arrivals. We take great pride in serving you. We are here for you.
