We had a great stay and loved the house and location! The house was clean and we were able to enjoy an early checkin to accommodate our group! We loved having the golf cart to shuttle ourselves to and from the beach and even out for ice cream on occasions! The house is located in an amazing area! The beaches aren’t over crowded and you can even walk to stinkys for a mid day pick me up at the beach. We had a great week and will be back!!

I was skeptical about not being directly on the beach; however, this was a great and convenient town. The unit offered a 3-row golf cart, perfect for our size family. The management company, My Vacation Haven, was excellent! Great communication throughout the process and easy to get in touch with and along with. Called on day after arrival to check our needs.

The home was a big size and well appointed. Bed rooms were a generous size, baths were very nice, and had the nicest toiletry welcome kit for baths and kitchen. There was a storage area equipped with beach supplies for your use.

I have taken many beach vacations and stayed at some pricy units with big management companies that would remove my reviews! I will return to My Vacation Haven’s properties and experience their kindness and quality!!!

This was our first trip to 30A and it won’t be our last! This house was so easy to get to and conveniently located between Mirimar and the busy 30A. The neighborhood is clean, quiet, and absolutely beautiful. We were nervous about beach access but the golf cart ride was easy and the beach access is directly across the street from the entrance to the neighborhood. The house is beautifully decorated, very clean, and spacious. There were the cutest little welcome boxes in each room with toiletries and things you may have forgotten that was a nice touch. We didn’t need to contact management but they checked on us a few times, ready to help if we needed them. I can’t brag on this place more! It made for the perfect trip for our family.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled you enjoyed your first trip to 30A and found the house and neighborhood to your liking.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Flipper's retreat. Very close to the beach and the golf cart was fun. Only my wife and I and our two dogs, so we mostly stayed on first floor. Also loved Stinkys which was very close. Enjoyed catching the sunset almost every night. There is a Nice area to walk the dogs across the street along the road. Would go back without the dogs next time - they aren't allowed on the beach which was a bummer. We did find plenty to do and the place was great.

What a gem! My family has stayed at various rentals up and down 30A, but this home stood apart!

Pro's: golf cart (absolute must for the location), community pool, beaches (the best around), sizable home for family of 5, great management company, quiet end of the strip.

Con's: nearby construction (no fault of the owner/management company), distance to shopping/dinning.

I would give 5 stars across the board, but where I had 4 stars:

Location: mixed bag, quiet end of the strip but still far from shopping/dining. A golf cart is an absolute must - we saw folks walking to the beach with small children sending shivers up our spine.

Cleanliness: the home was immaculate, however, the renters before us clearly had a dog that shed. The cleaning crew needed to do a better job cleaning up dog hair.

Overall, we highly recommend this home and plan to rent it in the future.

This house is spacious for what we needed for a family of 4. Upon arrival we noticed the living room area was a bit stuffy. The ac unit in the living room doesn’t stay on. So if the door to the master bedroom stays closed the Living room becomes stuffy. We did contact management company and said they would send someone out but not sure if they ever did. Did not have a follow up on the issue. We just dealt with it for our duration of trip. The extra amenities for the kitchen and restrooms are nice. The EV golf cart is a big plus. Location and the proximity to the beach are also a plus. I felt the house especially the floors could have been a bit cleaner. We did find some clothes under one of the beds a previous guest had left. House was good overall.

Thanks for the review and feedback, Teresa. Our team quickly followed up on the issue and are working to completely address the situation. We thank you for staying and are thrilled you loved the golf cart and location to the beach! We would love to host you again, so reach out if you decide on another beach retreat.

There were plenty of bath towels, beach toys in the outside chest, and the extra touches in the bathrooms, kitchen and laundry rooms which included soaps, etc. We would absolutely rent with this company again, and would recommend this property. Such a plus being about to bring our 5# schnoodle with us; she had a blast riding the golf cart as well. Being a pet-friendly property, there was no sign of smell or anything.

Stinky's Fish Camp nearby is highly recommended. The beach can get a bit cramped on nice days.
