Had a wonderful experience at Beach Joy. Property was perfect, felt like a private setting in our own little getaway. The use of the golf cart made the vacation a blast and easy to get around even though the beach was close enough to walk if wanted. Had everything we needed for beach fun.

We were very pleased with our stay at this location. Having the golf cart was a big plus since we are Senior Adults. Very clean. The only thing needed was a lamp in the living area. Beds were comfortable. Location was good.

First time vacationing on SGI and our little family of four had the most relaxing week! The house was perfect for us and my boys loved riding the golf cart every night. The only thing I would change would be light blocking curtains in both bedrooms but overall loved our stay and would stay here again!
The entire stay was perfect, Forgotten Shores Mgt provided excellent communication up too and during our stay, and were extremely helpful. The house is very clean and adorable. It has everything to make your beach stay perfect with lots of beach chairs and umbrella's as well as a beach cart. The golf cart was a great value add too! The two bikes had a few maintenance issues and FS jumped right on it, even after I told them it was not an issue as we had the golf cart.

I was fishing at the State Park Park almost every day with tackle shop,grocery store a d restaurants on the way back . Only problem was a week was not long enough .I would definitely stay here again. The management company answered all .y questions prior to arrival. I highly recommend a vacation stay here.

House well stocked, has towels and beach gear. It is a small house which was perfect for my family of 4, kids age 7 and 4. There is a pull out bed from the trundle. I don't suggest trying to cram a lot of people in the house becuase it has a jack and jill bathroom, which means anyone in the bedrooms can hear what goes on in the bathroom. Which was fine for us, but I may not have wanted to share that experience with extended family. The golf cart was an amazing plus, all in all, we will be back to this rental. So well stocked and cozy and enjoyable in a perfect location on the island. Thank yo ufor having us.

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Decent clean place to stay but I had someone with me who smoked and had to leave the property so they would not violate rules. Sad since there is a fireplace and would be a nice place to hang out in the evening

Not too far from the beach, close enough to walk, but far enough that you’re tired lol. Enjoyed the golf cart even though you couldn’t drive it on the main roads. The water softener was broken while we were there, so the water tasted like sulfur. There was more than plenty of beach chairs and activities in the storage room under the house. My only real complaint is that the house is basically one room just separated by thin drywall. You can hear EVERYTHING from room to room. The deck was peeling, and the woods looks to be very old.

We love the little beach house. Everything was so clean. I loved that there was hand soap in the kitchen and bathroom. It was so convenient to get the golf cart with the house. It saved us bringing our own. We definitely recommend the charming house.

One of the few properties where the photos lived up to the hype. The house was cute and well-maintained! It was super clean and had plenty of room for the 2 of us. It had lots of sleeping space—8 could find a spot to crash, but it might be a little tight with only one bathroom. The outdoor space was nice as well! House was private and quiet, the golf cart made it very easy to tote all of our fishing gear to the beach and was very convenient for running into town. Amenities were as expected and even above and beyond with the amount of beach gear stored away. We really enjoyed our stay here! We ended up adopting a dog from the local shelter and were sad that we couldn’t bring her with us right away due to the no pets policy, but that was clearly stated in advance and certainly isn’t a knock on the property. Overall, it was a relaxing stay in a well-furnished home! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Beach Joy!
Management and owner was wonderful to work with…corrected the one and only issue we had super quick and went above and beyond between both of them. Will definitely be doing business with the management and staying at this house in the future!!
Fantastic! Location is quiet and safe, easy to get to the beach. We had a couple of minor issues upon arrival and the property manager was responsive & helpful and resolved them immediately. Everything was just as described!

My family of three spent a relaxing week at the beach at this wonderful little house. The house was great for a family of our size. The house was very clean, very well kept and equipped with everything we needed for cooking or a day at the beach. The beds were really comfortable and we enjoyed the deck with Adirondack chairs. There is a sandy alleyway way just across the street that goes all the way to the beach, making getting to the beach just a few minutes walk. This is in not to take away from the quality of the house, but just something to be aware of: there is only a 3seat sofa and a day bed in the living room. I found myself wishing there were a chair or 2 to sit in, instead of the 3 of us sitting side by side on the sofa to watch tv in the evenings. All of that said, I would definitely stay there again.
Excellent rental, perfect for my wife I, but would have been great as well back when our kids were very young. Very well kept, nice improvements, clean. Zero complaints at all, would happily stay again.
We LOVED Beach Joy! It was the perfect little house for our 20th Anniversary. Unfortunately, the a/c died while we were there. BUT, the rental company moved us to a beachside property for the remainder of our stay at no additional cost! If and when we come back to the Island, we would love to stay at Beach Joy again :)
This is a great place for a couple or a family with 1-2 children. A golf cart is provided which made it really convenient to access the beach although the beach is within walking distance. Very pristine and very comfortable beds....we took advantage of the laundry room facilities. Beach accessories are provided which is another convenience...
This place is small, but very comfortable. It is well stocked with good quality items. We were very comfortable here. The place is quiet and very close to the beach.The golfcart was a plus. There is a wagon for transporting to the beach. Lots of towels, chairs umbrellas and other essentials. A great place to rent for sure.

Beach Joy was a really nice surprise for us as our original booking was undergoing construction issues. Thankfully we had the option to change locations. The property was very clean and well maintained and Forgotten Shores was wonderful. They are our go to agency on the island. The location was most convenient for us as we enjoy beach walks and quiet .The access path to the beach is just across the street and is a very short walk to the beach. There is a golf cart for use and there are nice public access walkways with parking close by. The only caveat is there is just one bathroom which was fine for the two of us but might be an issue for larger groups. In warm weather there is an enclosed outdoor shower. We were there for 12 nights and utilized the well equipped kitchen for most meals. We do enjoy BLUE PARROT and BJ’s Pizza when venturing out to dine. We would recommend this unit to anyone desiring clean, budget friendly, and well equipped lodging with close access to the beach. It fit us well and will definitely book there again .
It has everything you need for a carefree cozy stay. Short walk to the beach.

Really enjoyed our time here. A little over a block away from the beach. Perfect size for just our family (2 adults, 3 kids). Any more would have needed a bigger space. Deck was nice to relax on in the evenings and the kids loved running in the yard. All in all a great trip and a nice stay!
House was exactly as described. Clean and cozy with good a/c. Outside deck was a little hazardous with age and exposed screws but otherwise very nice property.
Stayed a week with my wife and children ages 11,12,16. Great location near the beach and the bay. The outdoor deck was great. For 5 it was maybe a bit tight with one bathroom but we really enjoyed our stay on the island and the location of the house. Two chickens even visited every day we were there. I would recommend bringing bug spray.
