The house itself is spacious, beautifully maintained, and was spotless upon arrival. It’s located near a gorgeous stretch of white sandy beach with clear water, and the pool on-site was clean and very enjoyable. The price point was fair for the size and quality of the home, and the maintenance staff (especially one individual who helped us with the hurricane doors) was responsive and kind. However, there were several issues that affected our overall experience: Construction: We were not notified of active construction next door until the day we checked in. The noise was loud—even from the beach—and the smoke and dust made it difficult to enjoy the balcony. The walking path to the beach was sometimes blocked due to construction equipment. Beach Access Confusion: There was no clear guidance on how to access the beach. The main route involved crossing a dune lake with murky water, and we weren't made aware of an alternate path until later. Beach Gear: No beach equipment was provided which was understood, though a few leftover items from past guest were in the garage. This would have been nice to know was a possibility. Garage Issues: A golf cart (not for guest use) was stored in the garage. Again would have been nice to have been notified. The garage fridge was broken—ice we purchased melted and leaked all over. Coffee Setup: The listing only mentioned a drip coffee maker, but there was also a K-cup option available. This was a nice surprise, but clear details would’ve helped us prepare better. Hurricane Doors: We weren’t given instructions on how to secure the hurricane doors until day 3. This affected both indoor temperature and our feeling of safety, especially at night. Amenities & Gate Access: There was confusion about access to clubhouse amenities (we were told we had access at the gate but later learned we didn’t). Also, a neighborhood gate code would have made it easier to reach the bike/walking paths along 30A. Overall, the home is lovely and the location is great, but the lack of clear communication—especially regarding construction, safety features, and amenities—significantly impacted our experience. With a few improvements in guest communication and support, this could be a fantastic vacation rental.
