Fabulous house with lots of room
The French Kiss is a beautiful home with lots of room for families. We slept 4 households with plenty of room to spare. Great location however beach is not private and is next to public beach access. House was clean and well equipped with everything you need. Would strongly suggest you heat the pool before Memorial Day weekend. It was almost too cold to swim. We will definitely be back again!

Family Vacation
Great house for 18 of us from 83 to 3! Ample room, was concerned about size of pool, but it worked well for our 7 little ones. Everyone having their own bed and bath was a dream. A few kitchen issues, but we fumbled through. Dishwasher and oven a little tricky to use. And a railing out to beach would have been a plus. Other than those two things we were very pleased.

Retirement party
We need earlier check in and in the end was able to get in a bit sooner. We immediately noticed the property had been smoked in. We were concerned because we had travelers with asthma. We were unable to use the bottom floor.

French Kiss Review
We had a good experience renting this property. We did see a few bugs that resembled roaches, some of the light bulbs were out (need new bulbs on the upper outside deck), the ice machine was missing downstairs, the drain in the upstairs queen bedroom was slow, the Wi-Fi was somewhat awful & it was impossible to watch TV. Kitchen could be better stocked for families to cook. But the beds were super comfortable, check in and check out was easy, the beach was beautiful, and property management was lovely to deal with.

Spring Break 2019
We had a great time in the French Kiss home. We had 17 people in this home and had extra beds. Each couple had their own master suite and all the kids enjoyed the bunk rooms. The house is large and very accommodating. We had the pool heat turned on as the weather was not extremely hot during our visit. Holiday Beach Rental Staff went above and beyond during our stay. Loved that you could just walk out to the beach or chose to hang out by the pool. The charcoal grill is an amazing perk. One down side is, in previous stays at other rentals past guests have left coffee filters or seasonings...its always nice when you don't have to buy a whole bottle of something for a one week stay. It would be nice if cleaning staff would leave these small items in the cabinets for future guests.

Horrible Smell
Location of the home was good. Rental company was good to work with. The house was lacking in a lot of areas. As soon as you open the door to the house an overwhelming smell hits you. It smells like stale cigarette smoke with stale dirty water. It made us all not even want to be in the house. The whole house just had a very dirty feel to it. All of the outdoor furniture was extremely dirty, rusty, and just unusable. Would not rent this property again.

Beautiful but just a few tweeks needed
The property and location are beautiful! The decor of the house was on point! Loved it!!! It was a wonderful place that we would consider visiting again. We just had a couple minor issues. We notified the owner of the lack of cleanliness of the house. Our bare feet were black after just a few hours in the house. The cleaning service came back and wet mopped the floor which helped. The pool alarm on the sliding door is extremely annoying. The button must be pushed every time the door is opened and it will resound after 12 seconds. It cannot be disabled. The walkway to the beach does not have handrails which was a problem for our over 60 year old members of our group. I understand that the handrail may take away from the breathtaking view of the beach, but just something to consider. One thing to keep in mind if you are not an early riser is to NOT sleep in one of the ocean front bedrooms. There are no window coverings and the sunlight may wake you. I loved staying at French Kiss and would highly recommend it for a large group.

Nice stay on the beach
Of course the home is beautiful but the pool on the deck causes an issue because you need to hit a button to go in and out or else an alarm sounds if you don’t get in and out in time which is about 10 secs before it goes off. Being on the beach was wonderful and all the rooms were very nice for the 15 family members we had stay there who ranged in age of 2-80. Some sheets and towels did have stains and it would have been nice if they left at least one extra roll of paper towels or toilet paper for the amount you pay. The location is good if you like that part of PCB otherwise it’s about a 10-15 min drive to decent restaurants. The property management company nickel and dimes you for everything from having the pool heated to checking in two hours early. They did respond quickly to emails and calls but they have a pretty iron clad agreement. We had 80 year olds with us and asked to move the date due to COVID and it costs us $200 to move the date even though we were 3 months out. The property and location are nice but I don’t think I would rent from that property management company again.

Great Location - Could be Cleaner
House and location are 5 Stars. Property was not a clean as it could have been. Sand in the beds - furniture has a lot of miles on it - especially furniture by the pool. Generally speaking it just felt grubby. Did not use the Grill - but it was in fantastic shape. New bedding, furniture, and living room rug would go a long way.... Property management was VERY helpful with addressing a couple minor issues - excellent communication.

Place is worth the money
This place was beautiful. Slept 6 families comfortably. Close to alot of attractions and not in a rowdy part it seemed. View from pool deck and top deck were outstanding. We got to see dolphins jumping pretty much every morning and manta Ray's swimming in the surf around us. Pool alarm can be annoying but just put folded paper towel and duct tape over it and makes it not bad at all. But it's an awsome place and I will deffinatly be going back!
