We really enjoyed being able to walk to the beach. The property had upstairs and downstairs living and kitchen areas, which worked out great for bringing our teenage kids. We were close to everything.

Family Vacation

We stayed here for a week with our young adult children. We enjoyed sitting on the porch, soaking in the hot tub and relaxing in the pool. The house’s location is perfect. Two blocks to the beach and a short drive to the grocery store and lots of restaurants. It also felt central to all of our sightseeing and vacation activities.

Beach getaway

The home is beautifully decorated and very clean. It had everything we needed, and also fun extras like hot tub, dipping pool, paddle board, beach chairs, and family games. We never tried the bikes because we forgot our bike helmets, but that’s ok. The easy walk to the beach was safe at the pedestrian crossing, and we enjoyed going at sunrise and sunset to watch the waves. Thank you for the perfect getaway, Ed!

Charming place with all the extras

We loved our stay at this updated, cute house. The beds were amazingly comfortable, everything was clean, and it included towels, linens, utensils, cookware, spices, and even some hot cocoa, pancake mix, sodas and quite a few other unexpected extras. We enjoyed the hot tub each night, and had fun riding the 3 bikes around the area. The Wright memorial was very near by, and it wasn't far to lots of other fun places to visit and eat. The host responded almost immediately every time we had a question, and was very kind and accomodating. It was a great experience all around.

Great beach accessories and amenities / low cleanliness details

We were disappointed that despite the listing saying it is pet free, there was dog hair all over the couches, pillows, and rug both inside and outside patio area at the rental and a slight dog smell in the living room. We were greeted by a big ugly cockroach (or palmetto bug) right on the kitchen rug and lots of dead bugs in the shower. Also couldn’t get the airplay on the TV to work…We did enjoy being able to walk to the beach and being a short drive from Forbes for fresh salt water taffy and the awesome Wright Brother’s Memorial! Loved all the hooks in the rooms too and food recommendations given by the host. We were also confused why we had to pay a chunk for a cleaning fee when we had to make our own beds and strip them, do the dishes, take out the trash and wipe the counters down. But when we arrived the counters had crumbs all over them and the place did not look freshly cleaned.

Misinformed about property

The place was well decorated, but the yard is not maintained it looked like it hasn't been cut in a month. The beds were not comfortable at all nor the furniture in the living room. The place was clean with plenty of condiments, dishes, small appliances etc. in the kitchen. There were plenty of games and the hot tub was nice. Also I specifically asked if there was a washer and dryer and the host said that there was in the garage. Then we get there and the next day I was going to wash ...there is NO washer and dryer he didn't even respond to my question when I asked why he told me there was a washer/dryer. There were also 4 bikes and 3 of them are broken so beware of that I almost got seriously injured. Also before we even stayed he asked for the names and ages of my whe family! That is private info and way out of line.

The overall house was fine but the A/C unit never cooled down past 73! Sleeping was uncomfortable needless to say for everyone! But the property manager did send a A/C specialist, the bottom line was determined the unit just couldn’t keep up with the daily heat. The downstairs back doors didn’t deadbolt and the front door lock was broken. The basement shower wouldn’t drain at all. The house was good from afar but far from a good.

Would recommend

Really cute house, nice layout with rooms on two levels. I imagined it a little closer to the beach, but still an easy walk and I like that it's off a busy road. Love the wraparound porch and hot tub! 4 stars for cleanliness due to some trash on the ground outside and old food in a microwave, but overall well-kept. We'd stay again.

Gorgeous Home and Outstanding communication

Beautiful home in a perfect location! Everything was as described and Ed was absolutely a pleasure to work with. We thought we’d have to reschedule our trip due to tropical storm Ophelia but, we decided to enjoy our time regardless of the weather. Macon Waves was the perfect house to ride out the storm. I would highly recommend their home and I would happily book again in the future!

Awesome beach house

We had a great time. The host really spent extra time adding details to make sure we had all we needed. The location was so close to the beach which was nice. The only complaint I have was the cleaning lady. We were told by the host we could use outside facilities until noon. Check out was at 10 am. We had everything out by 945 and was packing up the van outside at about 10:15. When she pulled up she jumped out the car and started yelling at us. She was saying I waited as long as i could and we should park in the street to load the rest of our stuff. She was literally yelling with all the kids standing by. She didn't say hello or ask us anything. Just started going off. The driveway can hold 3 cars for guest. She kept demanding we park on the street so she could park where we were loading. I told her we would move over so she could get closer to the stairs but we had permission of the owner to be outside till noon. She was still yelling, " i have to get up the stairs." And u can park on the street. Fyi your not allowed to park on the street. We kept our cool and i just moved over to the far left so she could pull up right next to the steps. Once we moved she never moved her car and just went inside. i dont know what the owner pays this lady to clean but she doesn't do that great of a job, honestly. she was so nasty it makes me think twice about renting again. Eventho the house and host are wonderful. We paid a cleaning fee with the rental. I cleaned alot myself

Misleading and confusing listing- broken hot tub

The property is listed as a 5 bedroom, with 2 kitchens and 3 bathrooms and it is not. They property is only upstairs with another tenant on the site downstairs. The laundry was located in the garage but it was hard to access it. It is a 3 bedroom and 1.5 bath. There is a note on the fridge saying the property will expand to a 5 bedroom in September. But on the this website it doesn't specify a later date. We expected to have a clean 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and a working hot tub. The information is false. The house was not very clean and the hot tub was broken. The owner did not contact us about it. They did not compensate us for the broken got tub and mentioned that it would be fixed in a month. We traveled across the USA to stay and felt very disappointed with the false information.

Nice stay

We enjoyed the stay, the house was clean, comfy, and cutely decorated. We were a little bummed there was no hot tub, but the house is in the process of expanding so the hot tub is getting replaced which is understandable. The tank pool more than made up for the hot tub and felt amazing after hot days at the beach. The house had chairs for the beach, a rolling cooler, and bikes which we were happy to use. The large dining room table was perfect for our family to eat together and we were able to keep an ongoing monopoly game on the table. One suggestion for the property is to have a washer/dryer (unless there was one there on the 1st level somewhere we didnt see). Overall, we enjoyed our stay and hope to have the opportunity to rent for a weekend when it is expanded!
