We enjoyed the stay. The house is perfect for our small church trip. One thing we didn't know was that the weekend May 17-19, 2024 was the Jeep weekend. So the beach was very crowded.

Family Reunion
We had a wonderful stay! Check-in process was as explained. Rooms were spacious and love that each room had their own private bathroom! Kitchen had everything needed and more! We especially LOVE the dual Sub Zero fridge! The stove took some time to operate but no issues once we figured it out! Kids love the upstairs and had a blast playing cards, charades etc in a space they can call their own! Beach was just a couple of blocks over! Would definitely stay again! Great memories made at this place! Thank you for having us!

Family Beach Vacay! A Blast!
We enjoyed this house and our beach trip. The house gives plenty of room for guests privacy in bedrooms and the family area was exceptional for gatherings and fun. Huge table for eating. Also for arts and crafts, playing cards, kid activities and family games. Kitchen was excellent for cooking together. Kitchen is fully stocked with what you need to cook and dine. Communications were great with owner and manager. Highly recommend this house for large family or groups. Close to beach for walking and close to the location where you can drive on to the beach with golf carts and vehicles. Close to neighborhood grocery store. Our family has many special memories from our trip and this house was perfect for us. The kids loved it because of the amazing bunk bed rooms for Kids World! Grateful we found Renovare for our family vacay!

Great Getaway House!
The beach house was beautiful and we loved the layout! Just a little disappointed that the house was as dirty as it was considering that we had to pay a large cleaning deposit. There was broken glass between the floorboards (one of the adults cut her foot) and we did find food in the bedrooms from previous visitors (we received strict instructions not to eat in the bedrooms), the cleaning ladies were still there when we arrived at check-in. Besides the house not meeting our cleanliness expectations, we had a lovely time and would be happy to re-book in the future. Thank you.

Great house for large family gathering
Overall this property is spacious and ideal for 20+ people. Every bedroom has a bathroom plus 2 more in the hallways. Plenty of table space for eating and playing games. All rooms on 1 level with an elevator from ground floor is perfect for those who can’t easily walk up/down stairs. Close walk and drive to the beach. As for cons: 1- there were a number of items I had to report that needs maintenance (cracked windows, some blinds not working properly, a bathroom window does not fully close, etc). I didn’t need any of the items fixed for our stay, so I just reported so I wouldn’t be charged. I got a prompt response that they are aware and working to get maintenance there in between stays, so hopefully these won’t be issues in near future. 2- the kitchen island/prep and cooking area is small given the size of the house, which is what we expected from pictures. If I were to build a rental property I would copy the house layout with 1 change and eliminate the upper lookout to open up the kitchen without the stairs and support beams. 3- one of the pics shows porch with views of the ocean. This must be an old pic as houses have been built so you don’t have that view. Everyone was very happy with the property and we would definitely stay here again.

Amazing retreat house just off Crystal Beach
This was an absolutely amazing property and worked perfect for our company retreat! Lots of beds, bathrooms, and the kitchen was well stocked and setup with commercial double sinks, stoves, ovens and huge smoker/grill. The place was so so clean! Just a quick 4-5 minute walk to the beach or can grab a vehicle permit for $10 and drive on the beach. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Great house, plenty of space!
We had a women’s retreat here. In previous years, the houses we rented had a lack of bathrooms for 30+ women trying to get ready all at once—not so here! 10 bathrooms! The kitchen was well stocked—the best of any kitchen we’ve ever encountered. The beds were comfortable, even the bunk beds—which were super sturdy. The owner and in-town manager were very easy to get in touch with and were very helpful. Also, we loved the elevator to help bring up all of our supplies! Beach was a short leisurely walk down the street. Definitely a house worth renting.
