We love this place. This is our third time staying at this house. The gates were a plus since we had a two year old with us. He did find a loose balliste, but maintaince came out promptly and fixed it. The kitchen is ver spacious with a very roomy pantry.

Great Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the 3rd year that we have stayed at Blessings in the Sand. We love it and it is very pet friendly. We were a little disappointed with the lack of towels on this past visit. I would have brought some of my own had I known they were going to cut back. Overall, we love the house!

Perfect beach getaway!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family absolutely loved everything about this rental. The property management group was so helpful with any questions we had prior to and during our stay. The owner of the property even stopped by one morning to introduce himself and make sure we were enjoying our stay. The amenities provided were great. The house was even better than it looked in pictures. Loved how close it was to the beach and the neighborhood was so nice and quiet. 10/10 will be booking our next beach vacation at Blessings in the Sand!

Extended Family Beach Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, our stay was good. The layouts of the rooms could have been a little different in my opinion. Having the jack and jill bathroom to be shared between up to 8 people was a bit much. We had 6 of us sharing that bathroom most of the time. I was thankful for 2 sinks on opposite sides in that bathroom. The property manager was helpful and able to address some issues that came up.The distance we had to walk to get to the beach each day was very easy. That was a definite plus!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was beautiful and clean. Stocked with everything you could need. The walk to the Gulf was short and easy. The property managers were super responsive, kind and helped with any concerns or questions we had not only for the house but for the area as well. We have never had service like they provided at any other rental! We would highly recommend this property and property managers!

Relaxing beach vacation

We enjoyed the beach house!! Everything worked (air conditioner, dish washer, ect). Plenty of kitchen supplies for 6 adults and 3 kids. Really appreciated gate on the porches to keep the 2 year contained.

It was nice.

We have stayed in this area many times prior and have always enjoyed our stay. The house was nice. Wish it would have had a few more kitchen utensils (frying pans) but other than that we had everything we needed. The walk to the beach was nice. Really could not have asked for anything more. The house was perfect for my family.

Yearly - Large Family Vacation

We had a wonderful time. The house is just a short walk to the beach. The house was clean and had many useful items to use while there to make it feel like home. The property manager was a joy to work with and made our stay as comfortable as possible. We had dogs with us, and the grass was full of stickers though, so that is something to be careful of. All of that being said, we will be revisiting the area!

Great vacation spot

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have stayed in the Heritage Shores community before with my family but in a different rental. This year’s rental was noticeably better maintained and cared for. Walk out the back door and you’re a 2 minute walk down to the public access beach. Walk out the front door and you’re a minute walk from the community pools. This rental had everything we were looking for.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Heritage Shores is a nice neighborhood for families with children. The pools and beach are a close walk from the house. Our family also stayed at Blessings in June 2022. The living room furniture has been updated and the kitchen refreshed since our visit last year. What a nice surprise for us.Coastal View Vacations was great to answer any questions we had. Thanks for the memories.
