Love this Beach Home - Clean, Nice, Large

My family of 5 has stayed here 3 times now. We love everything about this home - very large bedrooms, clean, 3 full bathrooms, comfortable beds, short walk to the beach, and nice pool. I cannot say enough good things about this home. Sleeps 8 very comfortably in beds (2 king beds). Master bedroom is huge with a great bathroom. Would highly recommend this home to any family needing 3 bedrooms or more. Walk to the beach is about 200 yards.

Nice rental

We loved the location and neighborhood. The house is nicely furnished and beds are comfortable. Be aware that the living room, kitchen and master bedroom are upstairs. The stairs might be a problem for the elderly or those with young children. Bring your own baby gate! Overall it was a great rental for us.

Hi Patricia, Thank you for the lovely review! I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay! I know the upside down floor plan of the 4 bedrooms sometimes takes people by surprise! I keep looking for ways to clarify this layout! I hope we hear from you again soon! Bye for now, Kathy

Updates Needed

Updated decor, paint and furniture is needed at this property to justify the price we paid. Master bedroom was very nice but all other rooms are outdated. Additional seating in the family room would be helpful. Kathy, the property manager gets a 5 star rating for her customer service!

Amazing Beach Stay

Our family of nine (5 adults & 4 children aged 2 - 7) had a wonderful stay at the Beachcomber. The home had a very inviting, updated decor, comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen with many extras including a crock pot & blender. Other unexpected extras - a stepstool for the little ones to reach the sink, an iron & board, laundry baskets and a powerful dust buster! Our group liked the upside-down layout with the bedrooms on the first floor. They enjoyed being able to enter home & leave items in the hallway next to their rooms. The proximity to the pool and beach was amazing & made our stay at the Beachcomber perfect - We loved our stay here & can't wait to come back! Additionally, Kathy & crew were impressive with their quick responses both before our stay and during. Thanks, Kathy!

Good ForThe Price

Pros: Very spacious, clean, two masters, many bathrooms, fully stocked kitchen, extremely close to private beach, nice large pool area, walking distance to restaurants, easy to find, very well kept area, gated, great area for kids to play/ride bikes, chair rentals available Cons: A little dated, the queen bed seems to be a full, the air conditioning wouldn’t go below 74 and got up to 81 during the day even with it set at 65, we found extra air filters and so changed the existing one - which was disgusting, there is a rotten/soft area on the balcony and loose railings, the balcony door does not shut well, kitchen and living room are upstairs, the cold knob on the faucet on the tub in the upstairs master leaks, bedroom TVs are very outdated, the only grill is by the pool and charcoal, all bathroom outlets are tied to the same breaker so if more than one person is using something like a hairdryer it will trip and there is no way to rest because the box is unacceptable.

We have stayed in this complex every year since 2010. This year we rented a cottage for the first time, and we will absolutely be repeat visitors. This property was beautiful and perfect for our family. Everything about the check in and check out was perfect. The location is a quick walk to Pompano Joe’s and Captain Dave’s, which are our favorite spots. Close to shopping as well and the condo has a well stocked kitchen and there are grills by the pool if you’d rather eat dinner in. Highly recommend.

FANTASTIC!!!

What a wonderful week we had at the Beachcomber Cottage!!! This VRBO has EVERYTHING anyone could need for their stay. The most comfortable beds ever. Even the twin size beds. My family was amazed as they always are wary of sleeping in beds outside their homes. All of us were pleasantly surprised and slept so well. Pillows were amazing as well. Perfect size for our big family. Just wish the pool had been a bit warmer but we were here just as the nights started getting cooler so probably not heated yet. Hot tub was nice and hot though!!! Will stay here again if we come this way again! Thanks Kathy!!!

Excellent property at a great location

We had a great vacation last week at the property. We had kids from ages 3 to 16 and 4 adults in our group. This house everything you would need in a vacation home. Location is great. Just 3 minutes walk away from the beach with a private access. I would book tis place again if I need to. Really great as with Covid-19 going rampant in the USA.. we felt very secluded but very close to beach.

Kathy was very easy to communicate with. Condo was clean and had plenty of space for our large family. Short walk to a beautiful beach. Community is small and was uncrowded during our stay. You will need to bring your own beach chairs or rent on the beach. We would stay here again!
