Myself and a friend arrived here and were blown way, by the space and the ammenities that we recieved for our bucks!
The house is beautifully decorated, we esp loved the photographic art work that was taken by the owner of her own travels ( which had now given some more adventure ideas.). Lovely big tv and entertaining area was great when we had some other friends who were staying near by over.
One of the other reviews mentioned the beach being too far away! The beach is a lovely 5 minute walk away and if that is too far for the unfit among us, there is a pool a minute walk in the other direction. Not to mention another pool 3 minutes up from the first pool.
We will definately be back again, esp as the owner was so helpful and gave us some great tips regarding what to do and where to eat.

Family Wedding

We stayed at this lovely, spacious, clean beach house to attend my cousin's wedding in Seagrove which was a short drive away. In the mornings we walked/jogged to the Gulf Place coffee shop which is only a few blocks away (since we couldn't get the coffee pot to work) for coffee/breakfast. The community was very quiet and peaceful. We layed out by the pool one day and met some very nice people from Canada. On our last night we ate at the restaurant, Goatfeathers across 30A. The service was a bit slow for it not being very crowded, but the food was good. The owner was very accommodating with our rental terms especially since it was SPRING BREAK week. Most places required a 7 night minimum stay, but the owner worked with us and our schedule which was most appreciated. I would recommend this vacation home to families with children since the third bedroom upstairs has two sets of bunk beds (sleeps 5) and it's own bathroom.

Truth in Advertising

Disappointed (Nashville TN)
Review submitted: October 29, 2012   Date of arrival: October 5, 2012

We (six of us, average age 65) rented this house in early October 2012. The steps from the beach measured 4/10 of a mile by my car odometer. There were no gulf views from the highest point of the house, so I believe the description of location to be very misleading. Spacious description for bedrooms is a bit of a stretch. My wife and I stayed in the downstairs bedroom with kingsize bed that had to be up against front wall to allow door to open, a large chair, chest of drawers (one of the drawers front pulled off), small table and closet, all of which made walking about the room very tight. Large for kitchen also a bit of a stretch, unless you are used to efficiency apartment. My wife and I arrived early and cleaning lady was not done. We left to do some shopping and returned to find more dirt/dust than one would expect. The couple staying in the room with bunk beds moved a matress to the floor because of discomfort on the bed. We did not expect the Ritz, but were disappointed with location relative to beach, general condition, and furnishings. I have never written a negative review on any place I've stayed before, but felt the listing was inaccurate enough that I felt compelled to advise other potential renters what to expect.
