Good for quick access to the beach

I love that it was really close to the beach, with small children that made it really easy to go back-and-forth for nap time and diaper changes, etc. However, it’s very expensive for a really rundown house.

Spring break for college kids & parents

Overall we enjoyed the house & location. It was within 100 steps or so to the beach with a great view. It met our family of 5 with a dog’s needs.

Perfect Location

We loved our stay at this house. It was so easy to go from house to beach with private access. The house is older and well loved but it was very clean. The kitchen was lacking some utensils (measuring cups, decent knives and some pots and pans) and extra blankets would be nice. We would definitely stay here again!

Cute bungalow for a family vacation

Being so close to the beach without crazy traffic of a condo was great. We loved being able to have our Granddogger with us too!!

A wonderful get away

The perfect location! I absolutely recommend. The house was clean. The beds were clean. The beach was clean. The den furniture could be updated and more comfortable, but we spent most of our time on the beach.

Unbeatable beach view

Although the house was a little outdated it did not matter to us. The beach access and view was unbeatable. We had little kids and it was great getting them to and from the beach.

Great Beach Front In a Quiet Location

This is a great little house with a nice deck view and easy access to a beautiful and quiet and beach with no crowds to contend with. The house and furniture inside is a little dated but functional. Overall a great experience.

Incredible Gulf-front location. House was very comfortable. We were missing some bed linens and a grill when we arrived but the online Vacasa agent notified the local management right away and they reacted quickly and courteously to provide them.

Beautiful View

The proximity to the water from the home is the best thing about this rental. The ease of stepping right out of the door and onto the sand is unmatched. The next best thing is being able to bring our Golden Retrievers with us. They are larger dogs and not many places will allow their stay.

Right on the beach, but needs improvement

Furniture needs replacing. Upstairs shower contains mold. The place is tidy, but not clean. The saving grace is that it's on the beach, but the underneath of the house is not clean so it's impossible to not track sand into the house. AC is nice and cold. Not enough blankets or towels.

Older House on a Quiet Private Beach

Overall the house was on a quiet private beach with plenty of restaurants close by. The house was clean except under the beds and couch. Beds were comfortable but would recommend a few blankets in the house. Kitchen has basic appliances but you will need to bring all extras such as foil, non stick spray, salt and pepper, etc. There is a small store close by. We really enjoyed just hanging out on the patio in the mornings and evenings!

Pictures are deceiving

This house has the potential to be fabulous. The location couldn’t be much better but the furniture is so old, dirty and uncomfortable it’s hard to enjoy it when you’re inside. The pictures that are posted on the rental sites much be from years ago. It’s the same furniture but with a lot more wear and tear. The cookware wasn’t any better. We were pretty disappointed. I sent the property manger pictures and they said they would adress it after out stay. Hopefully they will.

Great Location, Completely Unkept

The location is perfect, and easily the best part of the property. The property is old and could use some updating, but that could be completely ignored if it weren't absolutely disgusting. Both bathrooms were covered in mold, like true green and black chunky mold. The whole property was covered in dirt, dust and grime. The sofa itself was sunken, worn and in desperate need of a washing. I should have trusted the previous reviews because they were completely spot on. I loved the location and ease of access to the beach, but that's where anything positive about this property ended.

Location is great

Excellent home location on beach but the home was not clean, dust and smudge marks on furniture & windows. Sand on floors and staircase which is expected to a certain extent. The inside HVAC filter is covered in mold and dust. Also only two beds had blankets not sure why the other two only had sheets. I had to go purchase blankets the first night so everyone had a blanket (lost time from my family on vacation). Tv upstairs does not work.
