A nice property

Overall the property is really nice. It was nice to have such a large area to be in between the house, pool house and pool area. Some of the things at the house are a little tired and could use a little attention like the pool chairs. We did really enjoy the convenience of the pool and once the kiddos figured out how to play pool, they were hooked there as well. Overall an affordable property in a nice quiet area.

Great place to stay!

We love Carrabelle, we have stayed at a couple of other place in the past, we had friends with us this time so we needed a larger place. This place was great! The only negative thing I can say is (as other reviewers have said) the hot tub doesn’t work. The house, pool, and pool house were great though! Some reviews said the house wasn’t stocked, if you are expecting a “hotel experience” you never get that when renting a home or condo, always bring a few items with you or buy them when you arrive (a roll of paper towels, toilet paper, and maybe some napkins) they provide 1 roll of TP for each bathroom, and 1 roll of paper towels, but if you are staying longer than 3 or 4 days you may need to grab some more. Like I said before, the lighthouse was great we will be back!

Very comfortable house and pool. All outside lights were inoperable.

House was clean and stocked - very quiet neighborhood- 5-10 minutes from shops, restaurants and public beach. We didn’t spend any time outside after dark because there were no working lights. Minor repairs would make this place perfect.

June stay

Property is much larger than originally thought it would be. We have a large family with lots of kids pool was still large enough for everyone to have a good time. Only draw back is unable to locate really good food in the area, but it’s not a fault of the home. Would stay again.

Secluded peaceful home

The home was clean. I couldn’t get majority of the tv’s to work but at least the one in the main room worked. A lot of switches for the outside either didn’t work or couldn’t figure out what switch went to what. Would of been great if they had the kitchen a tiny bit stocked (condiments/minimal cooking supplies) but that’s okay since it wasn’t a long stay. The pool house was a little dirty and none of the fans worked in there (not that it mattered since I didn’t really use that area). Hot tub is still out of commission so it probably should just be covered up since it was dirty. The home in general was in a very quiet area, great for seeing the stars at night. Home just needs some TLC since it seems some of the home is being neglected (small maintenance of the home) so it can stay a great rental for years to come.

Great place overall but needs significant maintenence in several areas

We loved the house overall and the property managers at Sandy Beach were great. They sent a repair person out over an issue I only reported to them related to other renters potentially getting injured later, I never asked them to fix it the same day for me personally. The actual owner of the property simply needs to put some money into repairs. The towel bar fell off the wall, there's no cover over the AC light above the shower and the shower head can rotate upward, the Direct TV in the living room shuts down over an overheating issue because it's a very old box, the AC units in the pool house haven't worked in at least a year based on other reviews and there's mold growing in parts of it (it stank so bad I didn't want to walk in) just to name a few. Definitely don't plan to make use of the pool table, workout equipment, or the pool house itself; but the actual pool itself was nice. On the good side, the kitchen has new appliances and the master bedroom mattress was comfortable. We did enjoy our stay overall, I just wanted to leave an honest review regarding the maintenance issues so future renters can make a decision on what matters to them. If I'd shown up with several kids, that living room TV issue would have made my vacation miserable I'm sure. Luckily I was traveling with only my wife and I brought my own Fire TV stick. I would rent this home again, but I do hope they spend some money on some much needed maintenance. It's a shame for such a nice place to rot away. Also, be sure to bring everything you think you may need to cook and clean, there's very little provided on site.

Awesome house and location!

We loved our stay at the Lighthouse! The house is wonderful for a family, very spacious. Had a great porch, amenities, hot tub, screened in patio, and the pool is wonderful and very clean! The only issue we had was the house being poorly stocked with not enough basic supplies for 5 days (had to buy dish soap, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent and trash bags), and dishes were left in the cabinet dirty from the previous tenant. Small inconveniences for overall a good experience. The neighborhood was beautiful, very peaceful and we were just a short drive from the beach, good restaurants, hiking trails, and a short drive to appalachicola. Would stay here again!

Absolutely Amazing!!

We could not have been more pleased with our stay at the Lighthouse! The home is absolutely beautiful! We spent the majority of our time in the pool house and pool. The kids loved playing pool and swimming. This was one of the most relaxing vacations we have been on. Carrabelle has always been our home away from home as my sister lived there for several years. We have stayed in many rentals in Carrabelle and St George Island but I have to say this was by far one of the best places we have stayed. We will definitely rent again. Thank you for allowing us in to your home!

Nice house, great price.

For the money I have nothing to complain about, this was great, comfortable, very enjoyable and convenient for our stay in the area. The house is older and could use some repairs, the lack of AC in the pool table/workout area especially, but it worked great for our family and the price couldn't be beat. Would definitely stay again, in fact my kids are already missing the (very..unusual) serving bar above the stove and into their bedroom :)

A wonderful peaceful stay

Had a great time here. The inside of the house was absolutely amazing. Had much of what we needed. Beds are very comfortable and the satellite tv was great. The pool felt wonderful and was just the right size for the kids to play in. The hot tub felt good once it was cut on. The only problem we had was with the pool room, the AC was not fixed and would not work. Got a bit warm trying to play pool but otherwise it was a great place to stay. Will definitely go back for a weekend of fishing and fun.

Would stay again

The property was as described. Beds and linens were clean but dishes were suspect (I always wash the dishes before using in a rental as I know it’s difficult as an owner to follow behind each renter and ensure they’ve been washed properly). There is a confusing hole in the wall above the stove looking into the twin bedroom- obviously from a past reno as it appears to be a window opening-no covering so we had to rig one with a towel so the earlier risers making coffee didn’t get a surprise with my husband making a bathroom run- The window unit in the pool room wouldn’t power on and after trying the fuse box we called the manager who answered promptly and attempted to contact the owner. The only communication we had after that was a voicemail from the manager that the owner was not communicating back so there was no resolution. This wasn’t a huge deal as we sat outside the majority of the time but we would have probably enjoyed the pool table had it not been unbearably hot inside. The property is showing some age, water damage, etc but, we would stay again as a 2 night stay was allowed and it’s proximity to Carabelle was excellent.
