Listen to the sound of the waves crashing against the shore and the call of the seagulls as you soak up the sun or sit in the shade with a frosty cocktail. The stylish kitchen features a huge quartz-topped island— 30 feet long! White cabinets, two dishwashers, and a commercial-grade refrigerator face the ocean views, while additional glass-front cabinets and workspaces are around the corner. There is ample seating between the seats at the island and the nearby dining table. Your whole family will love to gather together in this bright space over warm mugs of coffee in the mornings or cocktails at happy hour. A door off the kitchen leads into a convenient laundry room and pantry. Down the hallway, a guest bedroom suite has a king-size bed and a full attached bathroom. Two more bedrooms each have king-sized beds. Two flexible bunk rooms have two twin-over-twin-size built-in bunks. Two full bathrooms can be accessed from both hallways.

On the ground floor, a game room and hang-out space has one queen-size and two full-size beds. An outdoor shower is ideal after a sandy day at the shore. The spacious covered patio has a barbeque grill, picnic tables, and a swaying hammock for an afternoon siesta in the shade. To get to the beach, simply walk over your private weathered boardwalk and down into the warm sand and salty surf of the Gulf of Mexico.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A perfect location immediately on the beach! So many bedroom options for children and adults! More beds than we knew what to do with. Communication was quite effective with the management. There were a few broken kitchen cabinets and messy drawers but it did not negatively effect our stay whatsoever.

We had a houseful of family this week at this home.
The good stuff:
The home was large and accommodating.
The beds were comfy.
The kitchen was large and the refrigerator space ample.
There were two dishwashers.
The contact staff are very responsive.
Washer and dryer in good working order.
The firepit was a hit!
The not so good stuff:
The one and only area carpet in the home needs to be replaced or cleaned.
The couch smelled.
Some of the blinds were in disrepair.
It took about a day to figure out how to sync our WIFI. The contact person was extremely helpful but was unaware of the additional router that had been installed and was working off outdated or old information. We stumbled upon the additional router and were able to connect without help.
There was a broom but no dustpan. We purchased one.
There was no vacuum for the carpet.
We were told there was enough flatware for our crew (26) – there were less than ten spoons.
None of the lids matched the cookware.
The refrigerator alarm went off the entire five days about every 5 minutes or so, depending on how the refrigerator doors were closed. It was maddening. We called and they sent out a repairman who did not remedy the problem but told us that the refrigerator needed a filter.
There wasn’t closet space in two bedrooms. Tight quarters there.
The upstairs master has no doors into the master bath – awkward. We purchased two spring loaded curtain rods with curtains for both access doors.
Large beach home

We like to have curtains/doors for upstairs bathroom. Spray mosquito outside.

The house was nice size…Kitchen/breakfast room/ living area was great for the 20 of us that were there. Front deck was wonderful for morning coffee and evening drinks. Beach access is the best! ( just walk through the dunes and you’re there)
We had an issue with coffee pot but was resolved that day (Thank You!)
The only negatives were… the house needs some TLC with deep cleaning, new kitchen ware and please fix pantry door (only opens part way). The upstairs loft (full size mattress) does not have its own AC, so very hot. We were unable to use it.
These few negatives did not take away from our wonderful time together and we would book again provided some improvements are done. (Our stay was at the end of the season.)

Great beach house and location. Had a family gathering of 13 adults, 4 small children. Not all spent night but plenty of beds, room to spread out and relax. Steps away from beach. Everything we needed for a memorable family event. The property and management delivered as promised. Only a few maintenance issues needs to be addressed but did not interfere with the enjoyment of the beach house.

We chose this house because of it's location (on the beach) and size (32 beds/8 bedrooms advertised). We had 9 family units coming so needed the space. The location did not disappoint! Beautiful beach views and proximity was wonderful! My 91yo mother was able to sit on the deck in the warmth and enjoy watching the youngsters in the water. We tried to get privacy and easy access to bathrooms for each family unit and were actually able to kinda. Since there wasn't a floor plan available it was difficult to assign spaces. The pictures gave a little different view than it was actually. But, everyone was satisfied with their space. We did have to make one change because of beds being directly on the floor and the lack of doors on the bath on the 3rd floor was a game changer. After we arrived we found some issues (drawers & cabinet doors not able to close, stains on rugs, light not working, pantry door sticking, ants in and on all beds in bedroom on ground floor - partly because of crumbs on the bed, ants everywhere). All addressed and taken care of to our satisfaction although the light not working was never fixed - we just moved a lamp from another room. We brought folding tables and chairs so everyone had places to sit for meals and relaxing. We were told by a local on the beach that the property was constantly rented so we understand why some things were the way they were. Overall, the stay was wonderful and we would return.

House was great and being directly on the sand was amazing for everyone to come and go. Huge kitchen and great for our team to bond. There were a few things we didnt "love" but overall nice place

We rented this property for our annual staff retreat! The place wasn’t bad but it does need some TLC. The property could have been cleaned better upon arrival. It did accommodate all 25 of us just fine. The upstairs area with 6 beds has no doors to the RR so we had to go buy a curtain to hang up so that the staff could have privacy to shower. The property was right off the beach which we loved and we loved the deck on the outside overlooking the beach. Overall not a bad property just needs updated.

Thanks! We really enjoyed our stay! Will try to do the same thing next year.

We loved staying at this house and it was great for our large group of 6 adults and 24 teens. We took our high school cross country team on a beach retreat! The house has great AC and plenty of space for us. The kitchen was well stocked. However we found it to be having a mold problem as we saw mold coming from the AC vents, under sinks and around light fixtures. We also ran into an ant issue by the end of the trip. I have rentals on the beach so I know that can just happen. Nothing a simple pest control cannot fix. We would love to come back next year and for many years to come if the mold situation has been addressed. I fear it is a big problem and in most of house. I communicated with the property manager and sent pictures of what we found so they can address it. Hopefully they can get a company in there quick to start the process because it honestly is a great house.

Best parts of the house - Great beach, and easy access to it. It had enough beds for everyone, and the layout made it so that everyone in our group could be together.
Not so great parts - The windows were covered in finger prints, smeared food and were so dirty it was hard to see the ocean. Keep in mind, inside was cold, outside was hot, so there was some natural fogging and salt on the windows, but if they were cleaned before we got there, that wouldn't have been the issue for at least a day. There was also just not a lot of detail in the house to make it usable. No trash bags, so we put all our trash in little kroger bags. When I asked, I was told they'd bring some over the next day - that didn't happen. There was some trash around the house when we arrived as well. Lastly, The master bathroom upstairs has no door, and that bathroom is shared with the 6 other beds. This made it super awkward to shower in that bathroom.
Make sure you read the details on what they provide and don't provide. There's no beach chairs, charcoal or Ice - so make sure you bring your own or buy some at the store. (this was in the listing, but we didn't see that till we got there)
Overall, it was a nice big space and we enjoyed our stay, so it was good... just not great.

We all loved sitting out on the deck on the second story and looking out over the beach and ocean. The kitchen was so big too! Like the island on it was so big, none of us had seen one that size before. Beds were comfy enough and the place was clean when we got there, so overall the stay was great!
4.0
As they say, location is key! This house has a great location with just a few steps from the back patio and you’re on the beach.
The downside of this house is that there is some up-keeping that needs to happen before I would spend the money we did to stay here.
The first unfortunate thing was when we pulled up, every single trash bin was filled to the top and the trash was spilling over. The instructions say “no trash bags outside of the bins” but there was no other spot to put ours because it was already max capacity.
The second thing we noticed was when we walked upstairs to the second floor. The overall look was beautiful with the wall of windows and the view. However, the area rug had stains all over it that looked like it was from pet stains. Since this place allows pets. Which is fine, but certainly don’t want your kids playing on a rugged stained with things you don’t know what they are.
The third thing was one of the bedrooms had an entire window pain that was broke. It was covered with a piece of cardboard and duct tape. When we walked into that room it was VERY warm, so no one stayed in there the first night. The second night we had family flying in town and needed that room to be comfortable. I notified the owner and he informed us maintenance is coming. Well they did, but all they did was re-tape the duct tape with a different kind of seal tape. In any event, our family flew in town and we had a couple staying in that room.

We had a wonderful time with our family of 24 which included adults, teens, young children, and toddlers. Our stay was June 12-17th. The house is spacious and very family friendly…. and It’s right on the beach.
The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, cookware, utensils, small appliances, and a large fridge. The living room is large and a great place to gather. This home was even better than we expected. We were pleasantly surprised to find a large walk-in pantry. The bar in the kitchen is even longer than it looks in the photos. There is a picnic table on the balcony and 2 picnic tables on the patio downstairs which are not shown in the photos.
You are steps from the beach, and the beach was not crowded at all. Cars are not allowed on the beach, so it was safe for the children to play in the sand without worrying about them getting ran over by a car.
Russell, the owner, was very easy to work with and answered any questions or concerns. Our family loved this home, and we can’t wait until our next reunion!
4.0
The house definitely needs A LOT of TLC from the owner. That being said, the beach was great, the AC worked perfectly, Russell was a fantastic host, and the maintenance crew who fixed so many things that needed repaired were very polite and professional. The kids had a fantastic time.

Absolutely loved this house! Being so close to the beach was perfect and the view from the deck was gorgeous! Walking through the trees behind the home to the beach was so pretty and convenient. The large living area was perfect for playing games together as a family after a long sun filled day at the beach. Just such an amazing gem of a property. Everyone discussed and we are wanting to make this an annual family trip!

Overall the house is very nice and accommodating. We all liked the remodel areas. I do have to point out some items that need attention.
1.Everyone saw mouse droppings throughout the house. Never saw the actual mice.
2.One of the dishwasher doors does not fully open to the horizontal position. Cannot be used.
3.The deck outside has a missing baluster. It creates a space big enough that a dog or child could easily fall from to the ground.
4.Living room fans are very dirty, almost black.
5.Garage entrance door is very squeaky.

Spectacular Gulf view & beach access. House is very comfortable, well-decorated & roomy, with ample bedding, dishes, pots, flatware, glasses, for 20 people. Maintenance was below expectations: disposal on/off switch inoperable, refrigerator alarm went off more than10 times in 2 days including 2:30 a.m., leaking faucet in master bath, fire alarm set itself off when there was no smoke or fire. Check-in did not follow the written process; we had to call and message multiple times after 4 p.m. for the access code and did not receive it until 4:20.

This house with great for our 20 people that stayed. Plenty of room to spread out and lots of sleeping options. Any problems that arose the host was quick to attend to. The short walk to the beach was awesome and we could see our kids off the large deck. Very private beach which was also awesome!

We had 13 adults and 2 teenagers comfortably situated in this home. Two of the rooms are 4 single bunks. There is a huge bunk room with larger beds but it is in the master bedroom so that can be tricky with spacing adult couples out but our teenagers loved the space. We cooked a ton and there were plenty of pots, pans, utensils to do what we needed. Great space in a great location

There were ants on the other side of the coffee area in the kitchen. There wasn’t any broom or vacuum for cleaning the floor even thou I made request if it could be bought to us. Other then that it was great experience for 22 of us.

We drove down from Houston for a night at this beautiful house and had the best time. The house is huge and truly just steps from the beach. There were 12 in our group (all adults) and we easily could've fit twice that, though some of the multi-bed rooms did seem like they might be better suited for kids/teens; the beds were all big enough, just felt like it might've been a lot of adults for one room to accommodate. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was enormous, with tons of dinnerware, glassware, etc. Russell was super communicative and friendly, we had all the information we needed leading up to our trip, and check-in and check-out were a breeze. We all kept talking about how we couldn't wait to return and that we should book a longer stay next time!
5.0
Great location, clean, spacious, good for a family reunion. The beach is so convenient just outside the house, easy to go in and out anytime. The kids enjoyed so much. We definitely will plan to go again. The Open space was so helpful to have averyone for the meals and of course the cake and sing the happy birthday. We fell in love with everything.
5.0
The main room easily accommodated our 15-20 people and there were lots of other indoor spaces for people to go "do their thing." Since we were right on the beach, our people came and went all day long, but the deck was a wonderful place to just sit and read and watch people on the beach and listen to the waves and contemplate life. The property was clean and well-stocked with cookware and dishes and glassware and appliances, including a huge clothes washer (also dryer) and two dishwashers. The outdoor space was great for playing games and cooking out. In short, from the twins, age 5, to the somewhat older grandmother (that would be me), we all enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it to other families.

All looked great upon our arrival. House, view, etc. But starting the 1st night, the alarm on the refrigerator started going off, waking people from their sleep. Altho it stopped when we pressed the button, it'd start in again in a few minutes. This went on for HOURS. I reported it the next day but no one came out until the day after. This was only a 5 minute check to see what they needed---so we faced ANOTHER (3rd) night of annoying sleeplessness! A team came out to "fix" it the following day, but the alarm went off again as they were ready to leave. A 4th night to deal with this problem that probably had been reported from the last tenants.
BEWARE: all StayBeachBox properties are owned by the same 2 guys. They have refused to communicate directly with me about compensation for all the inconvenience. If the truth about what our stay would actually be like, we would never have agreed to stay there. I can't imagine that ANYONE would. We are very disappointed and will NEVER use StayBeachBox again.

Great for large family get-aways
My family was very pleased with the house and the spacious accommodations and location on the beach. Great view of the beach from the balconies but with a private lower area underneath. A couple of minor items with the freezer & trash cans were appropriately corrected. We are already considering renting this property again in the fall and making this our default place for the next few years.
