We had a great stay! The house is located right on a private beach! They have plenty of gear for the kids & every day beach set up! The house was stocked up with lots of towels, plenty of dish & laundry soap - and even shampoo, hand soap etc! They had everything you need your really just need groceries, you & your swimsuits! Would 10/10 recommend! We had 4 kids 5& under, we had trouble getting our baby gates to block off the stairs so we had to rearrange a little to keep the kids away from the stairs - The only downfall we had was we had bigger suvs so it was a tight squeeze for parking so we staggered our 2 cars so we could get in and out of them but we made it work other than that everything was wonderful!

It sounds like you had a fantastic beach getaway, and we're so happy the home set you up for an easy trip! Having that private beach access, all the kids' gear, and a fully stocked house really does make traveling with little ones simpler—we love that all you needed to bring were groceries and swimsuits. Thank you for the honest notes about the baby gates and the tight parking squeeze with larger SUVs; we've passed these along to our team so we can keep improving the experience for families like yours. With four kids five and under, it sounds like you all made wonderful memories, and we'd love to welcome you back anytime.

This was an excellent location for our family to have a long weekend together.

Life makes us busy… we would love to come back one day, hopefully with a growing family.

Second time booking here

Location is perfect for our family with small kids. We don’t have to walk across street or carry everything down to beach. It’s easy to walk right back up indoors to grab whatever you need. It’s quiet at night which is also relaxing and keeps our little ones from waking up. The lower level back porches need to be updated because the steps & wood in general are old/warped. Otherwise, it is a great spot.

Great location!

We enjoyed our stay. We had no issues and the property was clean and no bugs. Be advised the lower level stairs are very slippery when wet. We loved the location and had no problem with being crowded on the beaches or anyone setting up in front of us. The king primary bed was very comfortable. The pull outs for the teens were not comfortable but they made it work. The shower pressure was great and we had plenty of hot water for all 10 to shower. We stayed nice and cool the entire time but extra fans were nice.

Great place

Was a great place to stay. The only thing I’d say is that it could’ve been cleaned better. There was sand in the area rugs that clearly weren’t swept and if so not with a sweeper. Also the floors were cruddy. Dog hair from the last guest. I Had to wash my feet off before going to bed cause my feet got so dirty from the dirty floors. All I could find was a broom and dust pan to clean with. No sweeper or mop.

Location to the beach A+

The checkin process and communication with AvantStay was excellent. The access to the beach was easy and convenient. Plus not crowded as it is in a private beach area. The house was as stated. I would say there are a few items that were not up to par. The parking, truly only room for 2 cars and not SUV's. The decking and outside stairs are in need of repair. The deck is rotting and there are nail neads that stick up. The grills were not great, we did not use them as they are dirty and old, the grease under the grills was gross. Overall, we had a great trip, but disappointed in the items mentioned.

Right on the Beach

This townhouse is right on the beach. You step off your deck onto the beach. You don’t have to walk through a big condo complex or even use an elevator. Because you can just step out of your unit into the sand. This unit is very large. Lots of levels to spread out. The stairs in the unit are a little steep (warning if you have knee issues). Each level has gorgeous views and amazing balconies. One thing that this unit offers (that many other rentals don’t offer), is lots of supplies that you may need. They even supply you with shampoo and conditioner. We enjoyed our stay here and would love to book this place again.

WONDERFUL VACATION RENTAL!!!

My husband and I stayed here with our daughter's family. The townhouse was the perfect setup for us. We took the lower level which consists of a large bedroom, full bath and kitchenette / living room combo. Our daughter's family took the 2 upstairs bedrooms / bathrooms and we shared the main floor living room / kitchen. The unit was well appointed and had everything we needed. It's been beautifully updated. We've stayed in a few of the Sanddolllar units in the past and this one ranks at the top. It was very nice to arrive and there be plenty of "necessities" there already (not the case with other units we've stayed in) such as toilet paper, paper towels, soap, shampoo & body wash, dishwasher soap, detergent etc. I highly recommend this unit. The location is fabulous. My only criticism would be the decking needs some attention, particularly the lowest level and the couch could use a cleaning.
