Plimsoll family vacation
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: We had an excellent stay at Plimsoll Retreat. The house is set up perfectly. Very clean and has all the amenities you need for cooking, relaxing and beach time. Plenty of beach chairs to utilize. The bikes and golf cart were a huge help since the pool and beach access are not super close to the house. We took our older parents and they had a little trouble making it to the beach since the boardwalk is a little long. We enjoyed the pool the days the gulf was closed due to rip currents. We never had a problem finding chairs at the pool. We would definitely return to plimsoll retreat. We loved the location of the house and were able to visit other local towns very easily.

Didn't want to leave!!
Plimsoll Retreat is just that -- a RETREAT!! We enjoyed every minute of our time on 30A. This house is located in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. It has a beautiful pool and a private boardwalk to the beach. We used the bikes everyday to either ride to the beach or ride to the neighboring towns. The burly was a real bonus because we could put all of our chairs and other beach needs in there for easy transport. The house is picture perfect! We had one rainy day, but I didn't mind because it gave us the opportunity to enjoy hanging out at this beautiful home. I highly recommend this place and I hope I get to stay again SOON!! Thank you for sharing your place!

Beautiful home, beautiful town!
The home was perfect for our family! My in laws stayed on the main floor and it was so accommodating for them! The pool was clean and so nice! The walk to the beach was peaceful and beautiful. The white, sandy beach was amazing and made it so hard to leave.

Phenomenal Plimsoll!
The condo is absolutely gorgeous with serene decor. We had everything we needed in the well equipped kitchen! My 84yo, well traveled friend stated it was the most beautiful place she has ever stayed in! We enjoyed coffee on the screened in porch, walked or biked(bikes provided) to the beach and dining, and rented golf cate to explore neighboring towns. I think we picked a great time to go , as it wasn’t too crowded and weather was perfect. The beach was the most beautiful I ever saw! Sand was like flour; so white and soft! I had a couple questions during our stay and reached out to Greg. He was quick to respond and very kind! I highly recommend staying here- it was the perfect get away!!

Absolutely wonderful!
We had an amazing time at Plimsoll Retreat! I can’t think of anything that wasn’t already thought of! Very clean. The kitchen was organised and stocked with everything needed. The welcome book had such great suggestions for food and fun. We loved having the bikes available! Our grandson spent a lot of time riding Everywhere!!! The pool, the beach the area were so much more than we could have wished for. The home was beautiful and truly a beautiful home! We can’t thank you enough for our wonderful week at your home!

Wonderful!
This house was everything we wanted and needed. The community is beautiful and well maintained and the location is terrific. The home is well equipped, comfortable and was perfect for my family - including four year old who rejected the lovely bedroom in favor of the cozy bunkbeds. The porch and grill were used every day. Greg was a pleasure to deal with. Not a single complaint! Nothing but praise. A terrific 30A rental. We'll be back.

Wonderful experience
Our family enjoyed our stay at the Plimsoll house. The house was clean, stocked with most essential items, and we really appreciated the touches for guests with kids. The neighborhood was nice as well. We had zero issues during our stay, and communicating with the owner was simple. We would certainly stay here again on another trip to Florida.

Great location, beautiful and well-stocked home
Amazing property in a great location. Private access to the beach was a bonus and the property was so well stocked with not only everything you could need in the kitchen, but also for the beach > bikes, burley, wagon, beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, sun shade and more! Plenty of room for a couple of families to stay comfortably in the home. Greg was great to work with and very responsive.

Perfection in 30a
Our favorite place we’ve stayed on 30a!!! Close enough to get to all the best of 30a but far enough away to have a little peace. Our boys loved the pool and we all loved exploring all the walkways. Private entrance to the beach was also a bonus. The hosts Were attentive and easily accessible if you needed anything. The house was gorgeous and had everything you could possibly need! Next time we are back on 30a we’ll absolutely stay here.

Splendid 30A January Vacay
We had a fantastic time at Plimsoll Retreat during our 6 day stay. We typically drive, but decided to fly down from St. Louis this time, which was incredibly convenient. We had some friends join us as well. The house literally has everything you need, down to many spices in the cabinet and pie dishes which came in handy for the homemade key lime pie I made. We loved that it did not feel like a sterile rental house. It was very clean and well taken care of, but had everything we needed. We were there in January and had some beautiful warm days to take advantage of the beach and heated pool. The bikes were so handy, we used them almost every day. We packed chairs and a cooler in the burley carrier that attaches to the bikes and rode down the boardwalk to the beach which was so convenient. The neighborhood is so quiet and pretty. we really enjoyed our evening strolls to the beach to watch the sunset. Greg and Paul were great hosts and very responsive. We will be back!

Wonderful Christmas Vacation
We stayed at Plimsoll Retreat with our adult children the week of Christmas. Everything was perfect....well stocked kitchen, comfortable living spaces and bedrooms, lovely porch space. Loved all the beach equipment....towels, chair and bikes. Located in a quiet, private neighborhood in between Rosemary and Seaside. The beach was a short bike ride on the boardwalk. Greg was great to deal with and so helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Amazing - Super Clean, and suprising large home
Loved every minute in Watersound. Compared to Rosemary, Seaside, you can get a more quiet neighborhood feel. Easy bike ride to the HUB outside the gate and we love being on this end of 30A. House was perfect for the 6 of us. Most stocked kitchen we have stayed at (pans, supplies we don't even have at home) - so a massive thank you to Sean and Bryon. Sean was texting early asking how stay was going and if can help with anything. Beautiful home, beautiful community and great owners!

Perfect family beach getaway!
Plimsoll retreat was just as pictured...a beautiful home with all the amenities. We loved riding our bikes to the beach. Watersound West is just beside Deer Lake State Park, so we didn't have any of the overcrowding issues that sometimes come with 30A. We loved the quiet neighborhood, the well stocked kitchen, and the relaxing screened porch. Bonus: Sean was wonderful! He made excellent recommendations in the area that did not disappoint. He was available for questions, and he was very attentive to check in with us during our stay. Looking forward to staying again!
