Such a smooth check in and stay. A tiny issue was quickly addressed and resolved, with quick and easy communication. The house was great, very comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked with all of your cooking needs. It was a short walk to the beach, and relaxing at the bar, in the yard or in the hot tub. Overall, exactly what we needed. Thank you for having us!
Loved the place and amenities. It had everything we needed, the rooms were spacious and comfy beds. Location is great nice view of the beach and surrounding .
Communication with the property owners was excellent. There was more than enough beds to accommodate my family and the property had a perfect view of the ocean. Overall, I would definitely book again.

Thanks! It was great hosting you! We hope you return!
The owner of the home is very responsive and helpful. This house is absolutely gorgeous and has everything that you could need. We had a few questions during our stay and the owner was very responsive via the app.
The home is very close to the beach and a good location overall. My kids and whole family enjoyed the stay! Definitely recommend this house.

The property host was very attentive. The house has every amenity that you'll need. There was plenty for our young kids to do including making smores by the outdoor pit. We'll be back.

Thank you for the great review! We are glad you enjoyed it! We look forward to hosting you again!
We absolutely loved this house. It was my son’s birthday over Easter weekend and this house was amazing. The boys had a blast at this property. The location to beach, hot tub, bunk room, fire pit, yard games all made their weekend. The downstairs area is amazing to hang out underneath. The house itself is very cozy. A/C was cold and rooms were very comfortable. We will definitely be staying here again!
We enjoyed a great holiday weekend at Sunset Paradise beach house! The hosts have provided some nice touches and provisions that are sometimes lacking in house rentals, such as comfortable beds, pillows and nice linens and towels, that were much appreciated! The projector screen was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The house needs a little TLC, but overall a great stay!!!
When the property states “everything you need is on site” trust me it is accurate. The most well stocked place we’ve ever visited from inside the kitchen to the garage that came equipped with beach toys! Thanks for hosting our family for our family beach vacation. The property owners / agents responded very quickly and professionally to every question I had making our overall experience the best.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We hope to host you again soon!
The property was amazing with a beautiful view of the ocean and just 3 houses away from the beach! It perfectly accommodated my family and had plenty of games for everyone to play. Great place for kids and baby friendly. One thing I will note though is that there were some issues and hiccups with the property after we checked in that was mostly due to the previous guests but Will and the management team were very quick to respond to our requests and had people out fixing all of the issues extremely fast! One of the best communications with a property management team and it made the stay and process enjoyable! We will definitely be back again soon!!!
Not sure where to start. The communication between the property manager was excellent!!! House was very well kept and stocked with everything we needed. I even forgot birthday candles and found some on the junk drawer!!! Plenty of room for all of our family and friends. This house is a 5 star and will be booking again.

Chrystal,
Thank you so much! We enjoyed hosting you, and we hope you return soon! I hope a lot of birthday memories were made!
Beautiful location with easy beach access. A couple minor hiccups that were quickly resolved thanks to the owners being very prompt and responsive to concerns. A little disappointed with the cleanliness (ie. Floors were dirty upon arrival, dusty/cobwebs/mold in a few areas, old/partially eaten food my toddler found hidden in kitchen cabinets, etc). Overall this property was very nice and easily accommodated two couples and two young children.

I am glad that you liked the beautiful location and ease of access to the beach. This is the first time we have had negative comments about cleanliness. I have contacted the cleaner to do a deep clean today. Thanks for the comments. We hope to host you again in the future!
This is a beautiful beach house right on a beach access street! When we showed up the golf cart was broken. But one phone call and arrangements were made for a replacement! Just like that the host jumped into action to fix the issue and within the hour we had a replacement cart! We had an amazing stay and will definitely book this house again! Thank you!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! The golf cart is now scheduled to be fixed. We look forward to hosting you again!
We have stayed at many beach houses and this is by far the BEST! We felt at home, comfortable, and relaxed. I couldn't have asked for more.
Quick and accommodating communication from the property managers! Southern hospitality! The beds are comfortable. It has direct beach access. You can see the waves from the balcony. There are toys and games available for the whole family! It definitely felt more than a rental property! We know where we will be staying on our next beach trip!
Book this Paradise, you will not be disappointed!
We’ve stayed in many houses over the years, this one is the best!
I’m not sure where to start. If you have multiple families who prefer their space and privacy, this is the house! 2 masters with full baths. A half bath in the hall for easy restroom access. Another bunk room upstairs with a full bath. 2 bunks downstairs for extra sleeping space. Any and everything you need…..it’s here!!! The golf cart was a HUGE plus. It would’ve cost us a $1000 to rent one for our stay. The outdoor movie screen and bar downstairs was GREAT in the evenings!! All the views are excellent! The beach is right down the road. I will probably think of more to brag on after submitting this review. If you’re think about booking it, do it!!!!!

Natalie,
Thank you so much for the outstanding review! We enjoyed hosting you. We hope you return soon!
Overall the stay was comfy. All though the only down side for us was the fencing. In the pictures it looked like the whole downstairs was fenced in but was not. The first day we tried to take out our boxer he took off running to next yard. Other houses we’ve rented had the whole downstairs fenced in. But once we got the dogs in the gates area they were ok. There were a few minor things that needed fixing for example lights in kitchen went out so was dark when we were in kitchen. The communication was great with contact. Golf cart was a plus along with grill and projector. They all worked great. Thanks again !😊

Thanks for the review. The fenced in area is secure. The front and back yards are fenced in but underneath the house is not. The kitchen light bulbs have been changed. The light bulbs blew while you were there. I am glad you enjoyed your vacation!
This home was beautiful and very well equipped. We were six adults, one baby and two toddlers. It was very important that the home was childproofed. Lots of supplies.
A couple of things that could have been better: several lights were out in at least one of the bathrooms; most of the lamps in living area were unplugged and we were not able to find plugs; a bedside lamp in one of the king rooms didn’t have a knob - it had been twisted off I think. These are small things and would be easily fixed. Also only had one bath towel per person for four days.
We would stay here again as it was a beautiful house. Loved the outside yard for our dogs and the lift to get all luggage and groceries upstairs. Also made use of the golf cart. Thank you for letting us stay … we loved it.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for the compliments about our home! Thanks also for the comments. I have contacted someone to make the few tweaks you suggested and had the cleaner increase the number of towels. We hope to host you again in the future!
The house was perfect for our group. It was a great location with easy access to the beach. There were a few maintenance items that we had to work through that caused more time and energy than we had hoped- before we arrived the elevator and refrigerator had been broken, the house manager tried to rectify those issues by providing a different refrigerator which was fine. Unfortunately, the elevator parts had to be ordered so we weren’t able to use it at all. There were several lightbulbs out that she came and replaced and also had to provide the power cords to the tvs as those weren’t working with the missing cords. We also requested an electrician come because the lights would flicker in all bedrooms. The golf cart also had a broken piece that she had someone come and fix. Having to deal with those items while on vacation was a bit frustrating- especially since the manager admitted to knowledge of several of them prior to our stay. While we liked the house, we would probably not stay again due to the maintenance concerns.

I am glad the house was perfect for your group. The Cargo lift was accidentally broken by the previous guest that day. I notified you and gave you a $250 refund immediately. The stainless steel refrigerator compressor had gone out, but we replaced it with a clean white refrigerator with a bag of Ice and case of bottled water for you prior to your arrival. The next day you complained about a couple of light bulbs, and missing cords on the TV. The cables on the TV can charge phones, so someone probably took them. You also complained about the golf cart step up was bent. You thought this was a safety issue. This was not a safety issue. However, within 30 minutes we had someone on site to completely fix all of these items. I apologized for the inconvenience. You then complained about a light flickering in a room that had 4 ceiling lights and a lamp. We did know about this and had a maintenance person who called an electrician out previously but they thought it was a remote issue. I called an electrician out and he stated that we needed to replace the fan who came out to the house to appease your concerns for safety, but it was not a hazzard. This was a series of unfortunate events. However, I was asked to call your husband. I was returning a call to inform him that I was going to give an additional $600 refund for the inconvenience. At that point he cussed me out over the phone stating F*** this and F*** that and you are a F****ing B****. I then offered to find another place for you, but he stated it was a beautiful home and that you wanted to stay. I gave a total of a 850$ refund despite his behavior. Unfortunately, things happen. This Summer has been filled with wonderful guests who have loved staying in our home! We love providing a memorable experience! When something goes wrong, we are there to fix it. However, you are correct on one item. You will not stay at our house again. I do not deserve to be treated that way. We will make every effort for guests to have a 5 star stay. We did not knowingly allow maintenance items to not be addressed. We address issues immediately or as soon as they can be addressed. With the supply chain issues post COVID 19, that can be challenging. Other reviews speak for our service. Thank You!
