Ideal Location on 30A

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property management of this home is spectacular. Very responsive and professional. If you are looking for a large beachfront home in an ideal location along 30A, this is the one for you! Sitting directly on the beach w/ private beach access and close to 30A restaurants and shopping this property has a lot going for it. The kitchen, although spacious, is in need of an overhaul. Make sure to bring your own knives, pots/pans, and cooking utensils if you can - those that are found in the kitchen are in desperate need of replacement. Additionally, the cabinets and countertops appear worn and also need an upgrade. The large wrap around deck makes up for the inconvenience of the kitchen. Just make sure to enjoy your morning coffee and evening wine outside on the deck listening to the ocean waves.

Example of great customer service

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: Could not have been better. Great location, properly represented and described in our seeking a house. Excellent customer service from the first phone call to check out. Everything was in good shape and working order except the main oven. They sent a tech. out who explained the part is on order. There was a smaller oven and a microwave so it wasn't a problem. Good folks to deal with. I would not use VRBO again. I would go directly to Royal Destinations

Amazing views

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: House has a perfect location on the beach with beautiful views. Plenty of space and very clean. Only complaint is the HOA has a chair service that takes up the front row to the beach. With large groups the chair service doesn’t make sense and you’re forced to give up the best spots on the beach no matter what time you go down. Many of the chairs went unused. Otherwise the house is great!

New and Improved!

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: Very nice house! Right on the beach, although right next to the public beach access, so it can be crowded. Most of the rooms and bathrooms are just okay, although the Master Suite is amazing. The upstairs is phenomenal with wrap-around balcony and awesome ocean vises. Gigantic living area and Kitchen with multiple huge tables and relaxing areas.

The kitchen well stocked , the view was beautiful. If I had one negative it would be the amount of steps to the beach. Definitely not a deal breaker. Thank goodness we all in good shape! Our first stay in 30A. We will be staying again! The employees at Royal destinations was so easy to deal with! I highly recommend!

Hard to say goodbye

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: Location location location . Views were absolutely stunning. Had group of 11 adults and 2 children . Plenty of room to be together and spread out . Took couple days to figure out heating / cooling system and several overhead lights were burned out . Large kitchen and living area. Had high chair and gate for stairs provided which was nice for little ones. Management company very quick to respond to any concerns. House right on the beach and walking distance to shops, restaurants . House could use a little TLC. and updating like king beds in rooms,but would definitely rent again

Dissatisfied

We arrived at the home and found it not as clean as we expected. The appliances were old and not in good working order…some of the appliances did not work. The windows facing out in the upper floor over the balcony were covered in salt water residue….between the double glass. You could see thru the front door and it is solid wood. The house was just worn out and that is not explained in the romance of the property. We paid a very high rate for a home that is not in good shape. We communicated this to Royal Destinations and now you have the feedback.

Lots of steps for older adults, but great house. Did not receive extra towels after reporting dryer not working. Worker came to fix, but had to order part, so only used washer once. Had to hang clothes to dry!

Beautiful home in quiet neighborhood

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: A very beautiful and unique home with wonderful water views. We were a group of 5 couples and everyone was very comfortable. Although beware: 2 of the king beds share a room, even though there is a sliding door between them for "privacy". If we had a 6th couple (like we originally planned), that would have been more than awkward! The only drawback was the lack of basic cooking supplies (salt, pepper, condiments, only one roll of paper towel, etc.), which seems to be a new trend among rental companies. I'm not sure if this is a covid thing (even though we now all know it can't live on surfaces), but some kind of starter pack that would cost the rental company less than $60 would be greatly appreciated. It seems silly and wasteful to buy salt and pepper for a 3 day weekend, and then leave it behind. This is a minor thing, but still impacts planning and enjoyment of the stay. Overall, we loved the home, it's unique design, its comfortable furniture, and high quality linens.

Location, Location, Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've stayed in many upscale properties. AWAVEFROMITALL is among the very best. The location offers 250 degree unobstructed views of the beach and ocean. Spacious porches creates such a wonderful space for family and friends. The oversized Living/Common Area inside the home ensure large groups have plenty of space to steal away.... much like a lobby of an upscale resort. The space and location are truly luxurious.The home is dated. It could use an updating. The most disappointing thing was that 4 appliances didn't work at all. These included Wine Fridge, Ice maker at kitchen island, Ice maker on ground floor, ice maker at ground floor. We felt the owners have probably grown tired of the property, as it was apparent these appliances haven't worked for while, and with a home this grand, a few thousands dollars of appliances wouldn't be tolerated to be broken if the owners still visited regularly? Additionally there was mold at the ceilings of the bedroom and bath upstairs. A maintenance investment of $20-$30k on this wonderful property would go a long way in bringing it back to the place it deserves.The management company Royal Destinations was very efficient and helpful throughout the stay. Loved the efficiency of the app and the communication before, during, and after our stay. One of the best management companies we've encountered.This is a Premium Property, at a premium price. except for the rundown, not working multiple appliances and the mold upstairs, our group of 8 was very satisfied with our stay even at the pricey rates. And that is because of the location and the spaces inside the home.

A Wave from it All is a gorgeous hone on the beach with large gathering space. The house would benefit from more thorough cleaning, exterminators and some appliance maintenance.

Large Spacious House right on the Beach!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Please see both PROS and CONS below:PROS: Spacious, lots of bedrooms, amazing master bedroom/bath, huge open living/casual spaces, giant balcony. Spectacular views. Everything clean. Staff was super helpful and responsive - every rental and extra in perfect order. Right on the beach with great private walkway. Close to restaurants and shops. Nice icemaker - never had to buy ice for any excursions! Comes with 4 bikes, chairs, boogie boards.CONS: Lots of roaches! Adjacent to public beach entrance, so very crowded beach and noisy. Many lights in house do not work, or have poor bulbs - lots of dark areas and bathrooms. Most interior doors do not lock for privacy. Washer/dryer leaked non-functional. Master bedroom great, but most others are more basic. Pictures show a pool - never saw that - where was that?Overall satisfied. Next time might try to find something farther from public beach entrance.

Nice location between several popular towns. Loved riding bikes around the neighborhood and visited the clean heated pool when the beach was closed for inclement weather. The house was huge and had a good layout. We would absolutely return and recommend staying here!

Amazing beach house

Our stay at A Wave from it All was so perfect for our girls’ trip. The location was in a nice gated community with backyard access to the ocean. The views were breathtaking! My only complaints: a few rooms did not have clean duvets. The management company quickly remedied the situation and replaced bedding within an hour of my call. Additionally, the lighting was too dim in the bathrooms and the main lounging area. Other than that, the place was perfect for a group of 6 or more!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall our experience was great in “A Wave From it All” The views were spectacular! It was next to a public beach access which was very noisy early in the morning. The house was clean for the most part but extra attention was needed in the kitchen. ( inside pullout fridge drawers were not cleaned and the exterior of the appliances could have used a cleaning. Also, the windows should have been cleaned as well. They looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in a while. The house also had so many lightbulbs out that needed to be changed. With all of that being said, I would definitely rent “A Wave From it All” again but would make sure in advance that the cleaning issues were taken care of.

Spring Break 2020

Couldn’t have been at a better place during the COVID-19 outbreak. While we would have preferred 2 master bedrooms, the set up worked great for 2 families including 4 adults and 4 teens. The house is directly on the beach, and walking distance to Goatfeathers market where we purchased fresh seafood daily. Coffee shop, ice cream, craft beer, etc. also all an easy walk from the house. Publix (grocery store) is less than 4 miles away. The 2 slide out refrigerated drawers, separate wine fridge, extra drink fridge (downstairs) and 2 built in ice makers came in very handy. I would stay at this house again.

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: Overall we loved the house and its location. Discussed possibly coming back in the future. Like all vacation rentals there are always a few items that could use a little TLC. Seemed like close to half the lightbulbs in the house were blown and had to go buy roach baits at the grocery store. Management company was great about coming and replacing lightbulbs, but we just took care of the roach baits since we didn't want an exterminator spraying while we stayed there. All in all it couldn't have better views from the second floor and its is steps away from the sand.
