Sometimes renting property through the Internet can be challenging to say the least. You know kinda what you want and where you want it. However, not knowing the area we have to depend on the owner to take the time to describe the property and the area thoroughly enough for to make a decision. The owner here did just that and we couldn't have been happier. The beach was a five minute walk away. Oh and to address a previous review about crossing a heavily traveled road with small children - less than a couple houses away is very well marked crosswalk and on that road the traffic must stop (and does) for pedestrians, which is where you are supposed to cross anyway. The house itself is just far enough from a main road to keep the road noise to a minimum. Most of the time it was very serene and enjoyable to be outside with a nice size pool and well landscaped property. The house was very nice and surprisingly spacious for our needs. The house was setup with everything a visitor would generally need when renting a vacation home. Also the beach theme was throughout the house which added to the experience. There is a major grocery store (Publix) and a drug store (CVS) about ten minutes away by foot or five in a car. All in all we enjoyed the stay and would stay there again without hesitation or recommend the property to a family member or friend to consider when renting a property near the beach.
We just enjoyed a two week stay at this property. The location was perfect for easily getting to all places on the island. The trolley stops were very close and the walk to the beach was easy. The rental is as in the pictures, clean and had everything we needed, and easily accommodated 5 adults and a 3 year old. The pool was wonderful, clean and private. Very quiet neighborhood. Susan and Larry were very easy to work with.
We enjoyed our stay here!!! The house was so cute and was very clean. We had everything we needed there and it felt just like home!!!!
We were relocating to Florida and needed pet-friendly temp housing until we closed on our new home. This beach cottage was perfect, a couple blocks from a very nice nearly deserted beach. In addition, a free all-day trolley made access to local sites very easy. The cottage was very clean and well appointed. We enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you.
Beach Charm certainly lived up to its name and is simply amazing! It was located within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, stores, church, and a gym. The free trolley stop was conveniently located at the end of the street and took us to places that we couldn't walk to. The location was quiet and the people were friendly. We have rented places in the past that the furniture, kitchen items, and other contents appeared to be a hodgepodge of things randomly picked up and basic things needed weren't provided. That was not the case with this cottage. It was beautifully decorated and the contents were thoughtfully chosen. We cooked in a lot and the kitchen had everything we could possibly need. Laundry is a necessary evil even on vacation and Beach Charm had a full size washer and dryer. Beach towels, chairs, umbrella and brand new bikes were all provided...what more could you want!! This cottage is warm, welcoming, comfortable and truly a home away from home.
