Beautiful!

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: We had such a nice time at Beachwalk Resorts! The house was beautiful and very clean and organized when we arrived! It was the perfect space for my family of four and my parents! The house was well stocked which made cooking easy! We had our groceries delivered from a close by Walmart and that was very convenient! The house came with great beach chairs and we used them daily. The beach and all the amenities were within close range. I would suggest renting a golf cart before you get there. This house doesn’t come with one and it would have been very handy! The only downfall was that on our last night while we were enjoying our time on the porch, the owners were next door and interrupted us to ask how we liked the house. It was a little hard to enjoy the place knowing the owners were right next door. It was a little unnerving and awkward.

Wonderful House with Everything One Could Need

My family really enjoyed the open floor concept of the house. Everything was clean there were beach toys and chairs for use. We enjoyed the screened in porch, the balcony, the back porch, and the fire pit area. The community has so many amenities available most of which are included in your stay. We enjoyed the concert in the park on Saturday. The beach is beautiful. Definitely coming back next year!

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: This was the perfect spot for our family vacation and would definitely rent here again! The house was well stocked with everything we needed. We also liked that it wasn’t on the main drag but still a close walk to the beach.Only recommendation I would make the management is to have more storage space on the first floor. Almost every closet and cabinet is full so it’s hard to have space to put away groceries that don’t belong in the fridge.

Perfect house for our family!

This house was wonderful for our family. Very clean and kitchen was equipped for cooking meals. There were sand toys, a wagon and chairs for the beach. Only minor complaint was that the smoke detectors were very sensitive and went off almost every time we cooked. And the pool was closed 2 of the days so that was unfortunate. But we went to the beach instead so that was ok!
