Great location, nice accomodations

The property was great for our stay. We had 2 couples and 2 singles, so everyone got their own bedroom and en suite bathroom. The living room/kitchen/dining area was perfect for our gathering. And easy walking distance to the beach. Communication was prompt. I highly recommend this property.

Beach

Overall house was good and pool and yard area was great. A couple of small inconveniences , The remote Controls for the upper bedroom and lower bedroom, fan and light are on the same wavelength which was a nuisance. Also difficult to get hot water out of the kitchen faucet. The dishwasher also should be replaced as it does a poor job cleaning the dishes.

Bachelorette

We stayed here for my low-key bachelorette and it was a dream!! They house has everything you need. If you wanna pack a cooler definitely get ice at the little market close by! The walk to the beach is sooo cute and easy don’t be deterred that it isn’t directly on the beach. The privacy you get is worth it. This house reno and furniture was well thought out. Enjoyed every bit of being here!

Beautiful house

We loved this beautifully decorated property in a great location. It is 4 levels with an en suite on each floor, which was perfect with teens (though may be tough with young children). The pool is beautiful. The only negative is that the kitchen was not very well equipped for cooking. Upgrade the cookware and utensils, add a nice sized waste basket and it’s a 5 star property!

The house is extremely nice and an easy walk to the beach while also close to downtown area. Easy walk to Crabdaddy or Crab Trap. Short drive to others. Enjoyed the pool and provides great amenity to just chill and relax. Would definitely rent again.

Space and Time

The space at this house offers privacy as well as multiple gathering spots, with porches and pool and grill space outdoors. The decor is thoughtful but uncluttered, with lots of comfy throws and comfortable seating. The location near the beach with the great privacy and good size of the pool insured a happy and memorable family time on SSI. (Nice linens and towels as well as extra beach towels appreciated!)

Good but not great

Positive: Pool and backyard area were wonderful. Close access to beach. Great neighborhood to go on walks. Of note: Kitchen is small. MANY flights of stairs. No bathroom on main living floor. Owner's suite bed is flimsy and creaks. Room for improvement: Repairman was present whenever we arrived. This was unreasonable and inconvenient, especially because one of the railings was in disrepair. Kitchen was dirty upon arrival. Cereal stuck to the sink and smelly trash cans, which was disappointing.

R&R at the Beach

Southern Belle Villa has easily become one of our favorite stays our family has ever shared. Upon driving up, the house boasts a beautiful façade, and once you walking has all the trappings of a luxurious hotel. Right out of the gate we knew we were going to enjoy our stay. Having the beach mere steps away, alongside heated pool, and fire pit gave us plenty to do throughout the week and our children enjoyed every bit of activities. We are already looking forward to our next stay here!
