We enjoyed the house. It was perfect for our size family. We would definitely consider renting it again - we just had a bad experience with the company that hosts this house and that would be the only reason why we would not rent this house again.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear the home was a great fit for your family, and we're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience with our company. Had we been made aware of any concerns during your stay, we would have been happy to assist where possible. We understand the impact the hurricane had on travel plans, though this area experienced minimal impacts aside from a brief power outage, which was outside of our control. We appreciate you choosing to stay with us and wish you and your family all the best. -Paradise Properties Team

We really enjoyed our stay at this beachhouse! It's a perfect location, right on the beach, and close to some amazing restaurants. The house is spacious and will accommodate big groups. We didn't have any issues during our stay.

Excellent, would highly recommend

We loved our stay! The beach house was gorgeous and extremely clean. The kitchen was well stocked and there were plenty of nice linens. The beds were really plush and comfy plus the location was perfect as it was near other beach homes so not very crowded on the beach. We loved the outdoor shower and will definitely book it again next year!

Very nice house. Right on the beach. Needs an elevator. Carrying heavy bags up 57 steps after driving all day isn't a picnic.Huge kitchen with plenty of counter space.We know there is at least a space for an elevator, but rental company said there isn't one.Overall a great place.We had a great time!

The name says it all

It certainly was "Joy by the Sea". The house is beautiful! Spacious and comfortable. Plenty of room for everyone. Access to the beach was perfect! Plenty of parking. Minutes away from everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Our daughter got married in front of this house. Everything was beautiful. Looked like a magazine. We enjoyed the pool and the porches at night.
