Beach Bungalow 1blck to Beach w/ Hot Tub & Game Room | Haven Grove by AvantStay
Welcome to Haven Grove! This bright, cheerful, and newly remodeled 4-bedroom bungalow has a playful vibe, is just a 5-minute walk to the beach, and has tons of fun features, both inside and out. With room for up to 8 guests, it can also be rented with our property next door, Hidden Grove, to create a combined compound for larger groups.
Our guests’ 5 favorite things about this home:
1. It’s only blocks to the water in either direction. Head two blocks east out the front door, and you’ll reach the sandy beaches along the Atlantic. Two blocks west, and you’ll find yourself on the shore of the Tolomack River – the perfect place to catch a truly stunning sunset. Between them, you’ll be walkable to countless daily discoveries on one of the country’s most charming and historic peninsulas.
2. The “green” room. Whether you’re hitting the area’s world-famous golf courses or not, we converted the garage into a thunder-dome of family fun, complete with a putting green, table tennis, arcade games, wall-to-wall synthetic turf, fun signage, and a stylish lounge area that’s the perfect place to hang out between games or to let your inner commentator out.
3. A backyard built for R&R. One problem you’re going to run into at this property: deciding how to split your time between all the great stuff to do! The backyard, in particular, is a lush expanse of delicious diversions – no matter how you vacation. Sling afternoon cocktails at the tiki bar, transition to a nap in the zzz-inducing hammock, then gather the gang to roast marshmallows around the fire pit. And don’t forget to finish the night with a soak in the hot tub. And if you’re looking for something a little more “inside” without actually calling it a night, the screened-in back porch is tailor-made for that one last story from the day’s adventures.
4. It’s where form meets function. This charming bungalow not only offers a colorful, clean aesthetic with professionally designed decor inside and out, but it will host your crew effortlessly with tons of dishes, ample bathroom and laundry supplies, and surprising little extras throughout.
5. Bedrooms fit for a king and queen. No tiny twins or not-so-full-sized fulls in this house. With a king bed in the primary suite and queens in the three additional rooms, it’s easy for the adults and kids in your group to sleep comfortably and recharge for the full (and fulfilling) days you’ll have here.

Great screened in porch with dinning table, we ate most of our meals there. The uncovered deck was also great with a gas fire pit and a hot tub. Location was very consider walking to the ocean or to Caps on the Water restaurant. Only negative was that the road was very busy at times with the restaurant traffic.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the screened-in porch for meals, as well as the deck, fire pit, and hot tub—it sounds like you really made the most of the outdoor spaces.
It’s also great that the location worked well for easy access to the ocean and nearby spots like Caps on the Water. We appreciate you sharing your note about road traffic as well; that’s helpful for future guests to be aware of.

Thanks so much, Mariusz! We're glad to hear the home felt like a dream getaway and that you enjoyed the peaceful setting and beautiful surroundings near the beach. We'd love to welcome you back for another relaxing stay!
I stayed at this property with my fiends for a few nights. It was the perfect get-away from start to end. The check in process and booking was so easy and flexible to the end of the stay were we did not have to do anything. This location is perfect for anyone who wants to get away for a few days or even a family vacation. You are a short walk to the Beach, restaurants, fun activities at the house and even a safe neighborhood to explore in. Can't say enough great things about my stay.

Alli, we’re so glad you enjoyed the home, the location and your overall stay!! We’re excited to welcome you back to any of Overmoon’s homes in the future!
We had a great trip here with 2 adult and 3 late teens. Walk to beach is a bit longer than advertised, about 7-8 minutes each way. No biggie but definitely not 3 minutes. Quite a bit of traffic on the road as there is a popular restaurant on the bay side and traffic flows down this street. Again, not a major deal but something to consider if you have real little kids.Space was good for everyone to get away and not bother each other if you wanted some peace and quiet.Short drive to Publix for any necessities. We bought food for breakfast and you will need to buy pretty much anything you need to cook as far as preparation. There are no items for seasoning, Pam, etc, just the tools you need to actually cook.We tried the hot tub but it smelled like pure chlorine so we passed.Overall I would definitely stay here again in the future.

Thank you, Richard. We're glad to hear you and your family enjoyed the space and found it convenient for your needs. We appreciate your notes about the walking distance to the beach, traffic, and hot tub, as well as the feedback on kitchen supplies. It's great to know you’d stay with us again, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
Our family's recent stay at Haven Grove was absolutely fantastic! The house was perfectly located, just a short stroll from the beach, making those sunset walks and impromptu swims incredibly easy. The property itself was stunning, with a great layout that comfortably accommodated our entire group.The amenities were top-notch; we especially appreciated the well-stocked kitchen. We were able to cook full family meals with ease, thanks to the quality appliances and ample cookware provided. It truly felt like a home away from home. The living areas were spacious and inviting, and the kids loved having their own dedicated space and play room in the garage.If we had to find one small point of feedback, it would be that the beds were a bit softer than some of us prefer. However, this was a minor detail in an otherwise perfect stay. Everything else, from the cleanliness to the communication with the host, was exceptional.We would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable family vacation. The proximity to the beach, combined with the comfortable and well-equipped house, made it an unforgettable experience. We're already looking forward to booking our next trip!
