We had a wonderful vacation at this beautiful beach house. The sunrises and sunsets were incredible and the few initial concerns we had were all handled within hours after making them aware. We would highly recommend staying at this house. The community pool is a short walk from the house and the beach access is a few minute walk from there. We would absolutely stay here again!

The house is beautiful, but in a poor location for easy access to water, and the lack of transparency in the listing was disappointing. The gulf is about 1/4 mile walk through dunes, and the bay is a several mile drive to the state park. We rented paddle boards for the week but were unable to use them because of the lack of easy walkable access. Communication was almost non existent with the property management company. I sent a total of 4 texts with several questions, and one phone call that went to vm during regular business hours. Only two questions were addressed after 2 business days and no response to my voicemail. One of my questions was specifically asking for more detailed directions to the bay. "Let me get the bay access information for you," but that information never came. The listing should also have a caveat that the house is not good for people with mobility issues. We had our older parents with us but no access to the elevator in the house. There are a lot of steps in the house. A few other things that would have been nice to know ahead of time, This house sits right on the main road so the sound of the cars driving by is all you will hear. No waves crashing and you will fall asleep to the sound of cars driving by. There is only 1 trash bag for the house for the week, the toilet paper is barely paper so bring your own, not all of the beds will be made up for you before you get there, and bring bug spray.

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: The house and location are exactly as the description and pictures show. You have a view out every window and door. Plenty of great space. There is a path right across the street that leads to the beach. The community pool and a paved path to the beach is easily walkable from the house but you can also drive and park to it. Great space for large groups. As with most rentals in the area if you want the views, there are lots of aware for low mobility or small children.....Would absolutely rent here again. Management was also very helpful.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It’s a nice home. Seems freshly painted and generally in good repair. That said, it was very dirty when we arrived. The kitchen table had food and crumbs stuck to it (elbow grease needed to remove it). The kitchen counters had not been wiped down, the floors were filthy, the roll away bed sheets were full of sand. Coastal Joe was very responsive and offered to clean again but that was not convenient and should have been done before. The internet was out the entire trip. Our stay was over Thanksgiving so I get timing is bad but this should have been identified before we arrived. The kitchen sink garbage disposal/sink backed up and wouldn’t drain. Coastal Joe should inspect the properties closer before guests arrive. Also, the pest control folks came during our stay and were fast and friendly but they sprayed insecticide all down the hallway. Our child’s stuffed toy got wet with chemicals. This house did not have people in before or after our trip so perhaps the pest control can be scheduled when the house is vacant.
