Overall, very nice location and a good house. We enjoyed our stay. A few comments on what could be better:Appliances need a little attention and the window blinds throughout the house required different forms of operation. Not a big deal but a little annoying.

Great location

We enjoyed the stay, especially the proximity to the beach. We were able to let our kids run free and still see them from the deck. The house is older and could use and updating. There is no pantry, which was a huge issue for grocery storage. Overall, we enjoyed the location the best!

Perfect beach house

Four adults and four children stayed 1 week in Dec 2018. There was plenty of space indoors for everyone. The heated pool was used nearly every day. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed. Groceries weren’t too far away. We brought beach towels as recommended. The beach is clean. One day we walked along the beach 2.5 miles to the nearest shopping area with food trucks. The kids all had a blast even on the rainy day.

Early Spring Break Trip

Overall our stay was excellent! We had lots of fun at the beach and pool. Weather was a little rough when we arrived. Gulf of American was closed due to weather. But had some really nice days overall. The BBQ grill is on its las leg and takes a long time to BBQ steaks. The house is very clean and spacious. The house came with two beach chairs and umbrella but felt that for a home that can sleep 20 should have a few more available with the rental. We will for sure be back and we had an awesome time!

Jim and Barbara from South Florida

Excellent rental for our family of ten adults and five children....We loved everything about the Stork's Nest - the house and its many bedrooms and bath combinations - the flat screen TV's in the rooms - the terrific deck and private pool are the ultimate extra to this rental. The dormitory (bedroom with bunks) was also a huge extra for our stay. Kids used it for their games and TV use. We have reserved it again for next year because everyone wants to go back for Thanksgiving next year. Terrific find.

Liked: Location
The location is ideal. It is a quick walk to the beach. The pool and deck and ocean views were also amazing. The interior of the house is very dated. The pots and pans are very old, and sizes required us to be creative when we cooked. NOTHING is provided. Not even salt and pepper. No pool towels, dish towels, and one bath towel per person. The house was clean enough, but there were definitely places the cleaners missed, specifically the floors. The property management company was reasonably responsive, but not super timely. Two hours before check in, we were notified that two l key appliances were not functioning, the dishwasher and the ice maker. They provided paper plates and a dishwasher replacement came midway through our stay. They also provided a couple of bags of ice and an ice maker repair also came during our stay, but the ice maker never functioned while we were there. The communication of these matters was not very professional and there was no acknowledgement of the inconvenience to our vacation. This is our 3rd year in Gulf Trace and the other property managers did such a better job of making you feel like you were getting what you paid for and treated like a valued customer.

This home was very outdated, pictures didn’t quite show that. It’s beside a river called Alligator River, very disgusting. Had to walk around it to get to the beach. The upstairs bathrooms had mold in them and on the shower ceiling. Furniture inside was a hodge podge of stuff thrown together. The pool deck chairs were so rough you could barely set in them. The sand dunes blocked most of the “ocean view”. Just sharing a few of my disappointments for others to know.

Family birthday celebration

The property is top notch. The neighborhood, the location, the house itself is perfect. The home is well appointed, and doesn’t have a bad bedroom or setup anywhere. All the rooms are very spacious and comfortable. There is even two refrigerators, plus an ice maker, which was wonderful! Plenty of chairs around the pool, and everyone enjoyed the porch swing. The only complaint I have is the house needs a good deep cleaning. If you move furniture or appliances, underneath is filthy. And there is an obvious rodent problem that the owners/realtor needs to address. Had to have maintenance come remove a dead rat, that got stuck, it was so big. trying to come out through the fireplace, and a sealed bag of nuts, that was left out, was completely chewed into and eaten.

This place is amazing- best house I’ve ever stayed at in Santa Rosa Beach. Location is perfect, large well lit rooms, incredible pool on the deck overlooking the beach. Super quiet neighborhood. I can’t think of one thing that wasn’t great.

Awesome experience, right on beach...

Big beach house, 6 rooms and plenty of extra space. Swimming pool on beach side ... ocean view while in pool. Many other properties advertise they are beach house with ocean view, but they're not actually ON the beach ... however, this beach house IS smack on the sandy beach ... love having morning coffee while looking at the sunrise over the ocean and sand. Great place .... you will love.

Storks nest

Property was beautiful! Paying to have the pool heated was well worth it. The kids spent a lot of time in it since the ocean was still a little cold. We had 17 people and didnt feel cramped at all. Only complaints were that the windows were missing the cranks to open them and the sliding doors to the porches were hard to open. The property could use a toaster. We were given plenty of towels, but not nearly enough washcloths. Was a fantastic vacation and we would definitely book this property again!

Beach front with pool

The only thing that kept my review from 5 stars was due to a maintenance man randomly showing up (not blaming the actual maintenance man) luckily our baby was awake so his knocking didn’t completely disturb us but it’s annoying to be paying for a private home for just a few short days and they couldn’t manage to schedule the maintenance work to be done after we checked out?? The house itself was very nice and we stayed in the heated pool almost the whole time. Also none of the doors from the bedrooms opened up to the balconies aside from one. The beds are extremely uncomfortable and I suggest maybe bringing your own pillow to make sleeping more comfortable. We had a fabulous vacation and would consider staying here again. We also appreciated a high chair being there since we had a little one.

Loved the location

The house was as spacious and comfortable as we expected. The beach was awesome. Great location -- private but yet not far from restaurants & shopping. We were disappointed that the "heated" pool was not working, as advertised. Also had difficulty getting cable to work on the TV's. Had to stream Net Flix from our own account to get any shows to watch.
