Fantastic, Fun & Fabulous

The owner/host has presented a meticulously maintained, clean and exceptionally well provisioned beach house. The unique decor which is carried throughout the entire home creates a special beach vibe for all of the guests. The home is appointed with high end appliances (the ice maker was wonderful) lots of towels for bath & beach, AC worked very well despite the heat/humidity. The home was remarkably clean in its entirety. One of our best VRBO stays ever!

Near the beach

Enjoyed the house. I think the stairs might be a problem for some. But the biggest issue was noise level of college kids renting in neighborhood until the wee hours everyday. We reported and complained. But we had four nights of interrupted sleep.

We had a blast. The place is so cute, quaint and quirky. Lots of little nuances to get used to but easy to do. It was so spacious and roomy with a lot of places to hang out. The crows nest at night was incredible. We even got to see a satellite launch AND a fireworks show. Awesome!

Beautiful home!

We had a wonderful stay at Emil Cottage! The home was very clean with nice furnishings. The kitchen was adequately stocked for preparing meals. The beds were comfortable for the most part. There is a 150 lb weight limit for the top bunk beds and this should be stated in the listing to help insure adequate bed space. We loved the beach, the community and the pools!! One of the AC units went out on our last day in the home. We phoned the management as soon as we became aware, 6 pm. They assured me someone would call me or show up at the house. I had to call them back at 9 pm since I hadn’t heard from anyone. They told me the repairman wouldn’t be there until the next day, after our check out. We were trying to rest before a 12 hour drive and the bedroom was 82 degrees!

Wonderful house

10 of us stayed here the for a week including family from Georgia and New Jersey. The house was perfect and absolutely beautiful. I can't say enough about how charming this house is. Absolutely loved the jukebox. The kitchen was the best stocked we have ever experienced. Highly recommend. BTW if you are renting a golf cart, get gas rather than electric. There is nowhere to charge. Took a few weeks to get that answer from Vacasa. Just want to save others the trouble.

Just perfect

The house was amazing, a little bonus is the bar table on the rooftop patio which provides unobstructed views of the ocean. Easily accommodates 3 families of 4 since each bedroom has its own full bath.

Great vacation spot

This house and trip was amazing. The house is very interesting and fun. Kitchen is over stocked which is a good thing! The eclectic style of the home made it so much fun. We had 5 adults and 2 teenagers in the house, and there was room for more. There are ALOT of stairs in this style cottage so keep that in mind if you don't want to be climbing steps to get around. It was a short walk to the beach and pool, perfect for what we were looking for. We really enjoyed this stay and would go back again!

Great house and location, A/C was locked

Awesome house, and should have been because we paid premium. A/C was locked at 72. I’ll never understand why renters claim the A/C will “freeze up”. I’m a homeowner in Georgia. We like it cool at night. My A/C never freezes up. On vacation, you should be able to put the temp wherever you want it. Pillows were awful as well.
