Great location to kick back & relax

The property more than met our needs. The location is ideal for either exploring 30A or chilling out by the pool. We really appreciated the gym facility & use of bikes & thegolf cart. The house is well furnished & comfortable & we made great use of the grill. In addition i would say the owners & property manager were excellent & super helpful.

Best rental yet in this area!

Best stocked home for sure in the area! As I travel regularly for business and have stayed in many many homes- this one has everything and you don't have to bring it all with you! GREAT location, gated, great pool and neighborhood for walking- super pet friendly and the home was SO comfortable. My daughter is pregnant and we brought the pups so it was very enjoyable. Golf cart convenient to the beach and no issues at all! Comfy beds/ games, books and just thought of everything! (esp the COFFEE BAR! WOW)

Love This Beach House!!

We were impressed with this house the minute we walked in the door. It was beautiful, with very comfortable with high quality furnishings, beds and linens. The kitchen was very well stocked and the owners had everything you could want for the beach. The beach is only a 4 minute golf cart ride with abundant parking and restrooms available. Oh, and they bought and delivered a new golf 6 seat cart while we were there! Loved the sunrises on the huge front porch and sunsets at the pool overlooking the state forest with views. The owners were very responsive to all inquiries and had many helpful tips. We would highly recommend this home and we would definitely stay there again when visiting 30A!
