Exceptional Beach Trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect home just steps from the beach. The entire family enjoyed spending time in the open living room that has a grand view of the ocean. The pool was a perfect end to a day at the beach. We ended the day by watching to sunset from the top floor. All our needs were met quickly by Royal Destinations staff.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had such a great time. The house was exactly what we needed and the layout was also perfect. There were some small things, the light over the dining room table, the breaker would trip. Could not use the speakers in the house. Overall an absolutely wonderful time was had by all. We will be back.

Great House!

We loved this house for our group. We had 4 couples with a total of 8 kids, and the room situation worked perfectly. Everyone was happy with their rooms! The kitchen was well appointed. Any minor issue we had was quickly resolved by the property team. The check in/out process was easy. Super minor things to pick on...the bunk bed areas could have been cleaner upon check in, the front porch furniture is not a comfortable place to sit & relax...but the positives are many!! The pool was great for our group & super clean. The ice machine outdoors was clutch. The location is really convenient (if you can't afford a beach-front rental). You do have to walk through the brackish water for the closest beach access, but it didn't stop us. Great house!!

Review of Riders in the Sun

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved the house. We've been to several other 6 bedroom homes over the last 8 years, but this was the best one yet.Th eonly disadvantage was the walk to the beach. We ended up wading through Eastern lake to get to the beach. It wasn't terrible. Our preference would have been to be directly on the beach. But overall, most of our family thought this was the best summer trip ever..

Great property

We had a blast. Very close to the beach. We did not use the chair set up because it was too far from house but very easy to set up our own. House was perfect. Only change I would make is to put a goodie maker in the kitchen. One by pool is awesome and we just scooped out and brought upstairs because the one in freezer does not make enough. I would rent again and highly recommend.

Beautiful Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pros: The home was extremely well appointed. We all said multiple times how well stocked the house was. We have never stayed at a house that our chef brother didn't complain about something being missing from the kitchen. Not this time! There were games for the kids, there were extra beach chairs, there were pool floats, the list goes on! Thank you for all of the thoughtful touches. Our group really appreciated it. We had an issue with the 2nd floor AC unit and they had someone out to check on it within the hour. NEVER have we received that kind of service. The sonos system was a huge surprise. We're a big music family and that was a bonus. Also the giant benches for the dinner table were PERFECT! We could all sit down for a meal together (with room to spare for our puzzle). Usually we have to take shifts there are so many of us.Cons: You do have to cross Eastern Lake for the closest beach access. Some of our group didn't mind, but some did. Since we used that access point, we never used the complimentary beach set up. The couch in the main living room was bizarre. So were the carpet tiles. For the older portion of our group it was hard to get up and, once sitting, there was no neck support. As the other reviews noted, there really is not a door on the bunk room, nor are there rails on the bunk beds. We could've really used those beds. ALSO-if your family is like ours, we always shove a pack-n-play in a closet. There are literally no closets big enough for a pack n play. Luckily we packed our Slumberpods in case. Ultimately we had an excellent trip and are so grateful to have spent it at your beautiful home. Thank you!!

Wonderful Beach Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I stayed here with 14 family members, ranging in age from 70 years to 7 months. We all had a wonderful time in this gorgeous home! It had enough space for everyone to have their own area for privacy and quiet time. The beautiful living room/dining room/kitchen area was perfect for our whole family to gather. The well-equipped kitchen had more than enough dishes, silverware, cooking utensils, and appliances for all of our cooking needs. The pool provided hours of fun for the kids and there were plenty of pool toys/floats at the house to keep them entertained. The house included several beach chairs, a beach wagon, and umbrella. This was very helpful and made our trips to the beach quite pleasant. As other reviews stated, the beach access is a short walk from the house, but our family actually enjoyed crossing the small lake area to get to the beach. The kids were even able to float from the lake into the ocean on a pool float! The views of the gulf were spectacular and the multiple balconies were used by all family members. The house is beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean. We would most definitely recommend this home to any large group and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great family beach trip!

We loved this beach house, it was spacious and clean and met all of our needs. So many areas to lounge and enjoy the views. The pool was a hit with our 9 month old grandson. The kitchen was well stocked with dinnerware pots and pans and any kitchen tool you will ever need. The two refrigerators and beverage refrigerator were very helpful. The beds were comfortable and the linens were nice. Any questions we had, were answered immediately.

Beautiful home!

We all absolutely loved the house! However, We did not care for the beach access. We either had to wade through a lake or walk a ways to a public beach access. Not convenient. We also had construction nearby which was noisy during the day. The pool was enjoyed by everyone!

Spring Break Fun

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented Riders in the Sun for 2 families. The home is in a great location. On a quite street, but close to shops and restaurants. Home is very well equipped and decorated. My only complaint is the fact that the upper bunks in the bunkroom and one of the other rooms doesn't have rails. We had several kids that wanted to sleep up there, but didn't feel comfortable with it. The beds are very high and unsafe. We doubled up kids on the regular beds because of this. A simple rail will solve that issue.

The kitchen had everything you could ever need including plenty of plates and silverware, baking pans,mixing bowls and food storage containers. I highly recommend you bring/buy your own toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher soap and trash bags as we ran out of what was left quickly.

Perfect Oasis

This house had EVERYTHING you would want for a beach getaway. The common area was perfect for gatherings, the proximity to the beach was perfect and the pool was a dream. I would stay here over and over again. Plus they had a gate and crib that was perfect for our Toddler! I would recommend this house to anyone who is looking for a spacious house with all of the amenties on a gorgeous part of 30A.

Great house for large groups!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We traveled to this home with a large group- 4 families, and it fit us all perfectly. The location to the beach is wonderful, the large, open family room and kitchen fit us all, & we loved the little area where the lake meets the ocean for the younger kids. We did have some issues with the home AC not working in the downstairs, the freezer randomly defrosting and ruining our groceries, & the home not being perfectly clean when we got there. In saying that, Royal Destinations was VERY prompt to fix our issues and send someone out to help. My only suggestion would be to have railings on the top bunks as that is a safety hazard for children & none of the children could utilize those beds so they wound up sleeping in the same room as the parents & to possibly put a curtain on the bunk room to make it a little more functional. Overall, we absolutely loved the house though and do plan to rebook for next summer!

Stunning House with Gulf View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What an amazing house for our party of 12! We love, love, love this house. The pool area is magnificent and after the kiddos were asleep, we enjoyed late night conversations there. We were delighted to find pool and beach toys under the pool deck.There is also a baby crib, high chair, step stool and gate tucked away in the downstairs hall closet which was a wonderful and unexpected surprise. Inside conversations did travel so a door on the double bunk room would be appreciated! The kitchen area is outstanding and has a massive island for food prep plus a table that seats 16. Plenty of room for everyone! The large balcony has a stunning view of the ocean. We enjoyed the games and puzzles tucked away in the 3rd floor closet. Although the beach is directly across the street, the beach access is a bit of a walk. There are two beach access points but one is a dead end into the lake which requires either wadding through or paddling across if you have a boat. This access needs to be expanded across the lake to provide easier beach access. The second access point is at the other end of Eastern Lake Rd.The complimentary chair set up was appreciated, but was not convenient because it was located on the other side of the lake and east of the house. (Apparently this particular chair service is not contracted to put chairs in front of the house, so our chairs went unused.)We got a lot of enjoyment from the bikes which included accommodations for both adults and children. We had a couple of small maintenance issues but those were quickly addressed by the property Mgmt company. This is our 6th year to stay on 30A, and was by far the most wonderful house we’ve stayed in. We absolutely loved this house and plan to stay again next year!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was great! Close to the beach access and nice layout. Well stocked kitchen! The only thing I wish was more clear before we got there was that the small bunk “room” didn’t have a door. We were planning on putting a small child in there, but couldn’t because there was no door to keep out sound or action from the hall or rest of the house! Other than that we fully enjoyed our stay here!

Amazing for our group of 17

My extended family and I booked this house for the fourth of July for our annual reunion. The house is just as beautiful as the pictures show. There was plenty of room for everyone and the perfect amount of places to sleep. The public beach access is 100 feet from the front of the house, diminishing the downsides of not having private access. The house comes loaded with dishes, toiletries, pillows, towels, etc. We had a couple hiccups with lower level AC and one of the toilets making a weird noise, but we got it all resolved within the week. The beach was relatively busy (almost always) but never busy enough to where it became unpleasant. The ocean water is clear and vibrant blue/green; the lake is awfully brown but it was a nice addition to the trip, good for skim boarding etc. Overall it was an amazing stay, definitely worth the price tag.

This property was absolutely perfect for our large party! The house is stunning and well stocked. The inlet between the lake and ocean was a perfect place for our little ones to play.
