Family Time

We loved the location, right on the beach. The house had huge bedrooms with plenty of room for children. The air conditioners worked well. The house was very clean and I was able to speak with the host easily. The big room downstairs worked well for family games. The only thing that could be improved would be a larger dining table. We had a good time!

Back Stairs

We were informed no stairs at the back porch due to the storm the same day of our arrival. Someone should have come by and fix it the same day! No regular broom except fir a small one that look like a toy broom. I do believe the night charged amount $ is high for the house.

Wedding and Easter

We planned a small wedding and Easter weekend on this property and it was amazing! The owner was very responsive at every text message or email. Property was clean and up to date. No need to bring tables, table cloths or chairs as we were able to rent them there. The view was amazing! Easy access to shops in the area. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Beautiful in every way

My husband and I chose to have our wedding at Sunbather by the Sea and it is the BEST decision we made. The views are absolutely stunning. The house has everything you need to accommodate a large group of family and friends and is just gorgeous. Nancy was extremely communicative, friendly, and thorough.

awesome week

Our extended family just spent a week here. The place was great and we all had a great week. Kids had a blast playing in the ocean during the day. And crabbing at night. Two different families had never even seen the ocean before. So they enjoyed it and loved the beach house. Miss Nancy was great for putting up with our large group. She answered every question quickly and worked with us the whole time. Would definitely recommend this place for sure. Or any other place miss Nancy is the host of. We plan on staying here again. Thanks for everything Miss Nancy.

Family Vacation

Great house with lots of space for everyone to sleep. It is a very short walk to the beach. Only complaint would be that the living room and table do not have enough places for everyone to sit. Other than that, would recommend. We will book again!

Not a 5 bedroom Rental

The owner was easy to communicate with and nice so it’s hard to leave any negative feedback but…. Pros: Location is everything! The house is located on an amazing stretch of beach about 10 minutes from 61st Street. 4 really big or good sized bedrooms Enclosed bottom floor was great for storage where you could lock things up. It doesn’t have AC so it’s to hot to use for anything else. The beds are comfy. Three bedrooms have en-suites (see below under Cons). The house has a lot of chairs for the beach in case you forget yours. The grill is a good size. Cons: It’s Love Bug season, there were dead bugs throughout the house when we arrived. I spent a good amount of time cleaning. I’m not sure the house was cleaned prior to our arrival. It has the expected beach house wear and tear but really needs a deep cleaning and updating. We found trash from past renters in the bathroom drawers. This is NOT a 5-bedroom house. It’s 4-bedrooms with bunk beds in the LAUNDRY ROOM. The drier is NOT vented properly. When the drier is used, it’s 90+ degrees in the room. No one could sleep in there. The house ‘sleeps’ 19 or so but is NOT built for this many people. There’s only dining seating for 6-8, living room seating for 5. We were extremely cramped during meals. The house only allows for 4 cars, but it’s a small circle drive that doesn’t really fit 4 trucks/SUVs in the driveway. Roaches. We killed a lot of roaches both inside and outside. There’s a decorative column preventing the refrigerator door from fully opening. We all smashed our fingers opening the door. There is barely room to fit a gallon of orange juice through the door’s opening. En-suite bathrooms are open concept offering no privacy from the bedrooms when showering. The only exit to the deck is a sliding glass door. The track is damaged and rusted in places, it’s very difficult to open and makes so much noise, if anyone is sleeping, you will wake them. The main bathroom for the house faces the road with a large picture window but no blinds. No one would shower in this bathroom because of the lack of blinds. The under house portion has a floor drop off that is only striped on one side/you only see the warning stripes from one direction. We all tripped.

Family vacation

Pros: fully stocked kitchen with labels , the house was clean, easy beach access with large deck. You can walk to a local bar on the beach in 10 minutes. The beds were comfortable. The host was very nice and communicated well. If you have small kids there’s no need for gates on the second floor there is no stair access it’s cut off by a door with a deadbolt and twist knob. Cons: we experienced a roach issue we spoke with the host about it and she insured us it would be taken care of for the next guest and apologized. The bedroom layouts were a little weird to me the king bed isn’t in the master bedroom the master has two queens in it which was a little weird usually a couple would want to be alone in the master. There’s also only tvs in the living room and master bedroom. The washer and dryer are located in the single bunk bedroom and there is no escape for the dryer hose so that room gets unbearably hot. We had an issue in the king bedroom with the toilets tank overflowing we ended up turning off the water and using a different toilet for our stay. During our stay it rained a lot the morning we checked out we discovered a leak from the roof coming through the door jam of the master bedroom. The first level is a indoor patio that isn’t cooled by ac so it’s pretty warm down there you wouldn’t want to be just chilling in there.

Great location

The property is at a perfect location. It’s far enough away from being crowded by all the beach goers but close enough to town you can get to any restaurant or grocery under 30 min really. The house itself could use some updating as it’s got the normal wear and tear from the saltiness from the ocean and just being lived in. The down stairs area looks like it could be apart if the house (via pics online) but it does not have ac down there and is a bit muggy. It should be noted it’s to be used as an outdoor enclosed patio area. Overall our stay was great though and this location had Gorgeous evening sunsets.

Friends Reunion

It is a beautiful house in a small private residence on private beach. The house is big and fully furnish. Plenty pots, pans and cook wares. There are coffee maker and water boiler. The house locate right on the beach . The deck on the first floor is great for cooking and dining outdoor. We like this house because it give us more privacy, but not too for from shopping center and supermarket. Our house was very friendly. We consider to go back for next year reunion.
