Most relaxing vacation my family has ever went on!!

The house was perfect!! So close to the beach, that we went twice a day the entire week we stayed. There was no issues with extending our stay, and everything that needed was close. We had one issue with a door knob falling off, but the owners showed up with in a few hours to replace it. Whenever we decide to plan out vacation to the Atlantic Beach, we will definetly recommand this location and rent the house again.

Our family vacation

This is the first time we rented a beach house for our yearly family trip with our 3 kids and it was great! Our host made this trip so easy and stress-free from the booking online until we left! Any questions I had got answered quickly. The house was perfect for our family of 5 and right across from the beach access. We definitely made memories for sure and will be back!

Rainy getaway

House was super cute, when booking it wasn't clear it was two levels. I was super worried about that however it turned out fine. The upstairs was full and we occasionally heard them stomping but nothing awful. The lock box was difficult to find and I did spend a moment punching the code into the door itself. House was overall very clean. Already planning our vacation for next year.

Perfect location

This house has the best location, right across from the beach access! There were a couple minor issues: when we got there, the front door had a cypher lock and the code we were given didn’t work, I called the numbers I was given in the check in information and no one ever called back, I eventually found the lockbox with the key. The bathtub in the main bathroom was old and stained. There is just one air conditioning unit to cool the whole place, it worked okay but we have to put the fans on in the bedrooms at night. There was no tv in the master bedroom. The washing machine was moldy so we didn’t use it. The patio was great and we enjoyed our stay, the things I mentioned were minor and I think we would stay there again because it’s a great location.

Didn't end up staying here

The location was wonderful however when we arrived there were more droppings on each bed and pillows. We messaged the host immediately, he apologized and refunded us for our stay so we could go to a hotel. Very disappointing.

Great location

Beach access was steps away from our door and the unit was super nice! A bit tight if you have a the full capacity but worth it for the location by far! Washer and dryer being full size was a definite plus and being provided back up towels and veil is beach supplies was great especially since we were from far away.

Spring Break?

We arrived to a really nice place with everything organized and clean. After settling in for the evening everything went crazy. Tenants upstairs were running up and down the stairs at 2:30 am and knocking on the doors which seemed like an eternity. We waited until the morning to notify the owner who stated that they had locked themselves out and contacted her. We we’re not looking for any reimbursement, just wondering what happened. Unfortunately the next evening at 12:30 pm I contacted the owner as she instructed if there were any other issues. AGAIN tenants upstairs were pacing the floors. I texted her and it did stop shortly after. Two nights of holiday not being able to sleep. I left a night earlier and am not looking for any type of refund. But maybe it should be disclosed as a communally rented property. Thanks

As described and a stones throw to the beach.

Great little rental steps to the ocean. Perfect for two people but probably a bit too crowded for more. Our only issue was the bathroom doors which are louvered and allow the other occupants in the unit to hear anything that might occur in there. Sort of uncomfortable and embarrassing. We turned on the shower when in there to add a small measure of privacy.

Good location

Good location and convenient to everything. The stove however needs attention, the eyes would not set down level, maybe wrong size catch pans. I didn't do any cooking but would have been difficult if I had wanted to. I did rewarm leftovers and was able to get by.

Adequate accommodations for two by the beach

This place is cute and is very close to the beach. However, we would probably not stay there again. The reasons are as follows: 1) The beds are terrible. They have giant indentations in the middle to the point where you are falling into your sleeping partner. It was difficult to get a good night's rest. 2) There were flies upon flies upon flies. We killed probably 40-50 of those little critters, who seemed to be getting in either through the bathroom drain or window, unabated. 3) The propane ran out on the first night--not a deal killer but a big bummer for grilling! : ( I left the noise from the upstairs apartment off the list b/c there really isn't anything one can do about that. However, the family staying there had friends over so there was a total of 4 adults and 3 kids (in an 800 sq. ft. apt.) running amok and making noise well into the night. We did enjoy the beach though and this place is very close to it. Perhaps a few modifications could make this a better VRBO rental. As VRBO owners ourselves for almost two decades, it was a little disappointing, but adequate for a quick beach trip.

Quick weekend away

Cute and updated little beach bungelow. Perfect location! As others have stated in their reviews, needs some hooks or a towel bar in the master bathroom as there is nowhere to hang your towels. A bedside table in the master bedroom and moving over the power outlet just a few inches so it’s usable would be very useful….or even a flat plug extension cord would work. Just those few quirky things but easy to work around. Super cute place! And very clean!

Overall review

Once we arrived we had an issue with the cleanliness of the couch after sending a message there was a person at the house in less than an hour to clean it. There was definitely palmetto bugs but this seem to be very common for the area due to the humidity, they were even seen in the street a block away. One issue we did have was the top bunk has a weight limit of 150lbs. This does not appear to be suitable for an adult but is listed for 5 people. However it would be very fitting for a family with younger children . We have stayed in many other places where they have bunkbeds that are able to hold larger weight capacities. Overall would just recommend more attention to detail when cleaning the house and also to include the outside area. They do have two camping chairs and one beach chair that are able to be used but appear to not have been used for extended period of time. Well stocked kitchen with two coffee maker options. Also for those renting the bottom unit when someone is above you it can be very noisy. When we rented it I must of not checked to see if it was a bottom unit.

This place was adorable. It had exactly what we needed to escape for a 4-day trip to the beach. Great location, beach access is steps away from the front door. Quiet neighborhood. The kitchen was nicely stocked. Beach towels and chairs are provided, too. Great stay, definitely want to return!
