Someone needs to invest a little to tidy it up to make it the perfect vacation location. ##### Gail S. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### David T. 11 Aug 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent location - items not included Nice place, but you need to lug a your own things. Had only first day supplies of paper towels, trash bags, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent and toilet paper. Also ZERO beach towels at a beach house?!? Many of the doors have trouble with the hardware or are hard to close. 1st floor AC took 2 days to get down to 72 degrees, and top floor had three hornet nests on the eve. My idea of a vacation is to show up with expected things taken care of. This was not that. ##### David T. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jacqueline G. 6 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Attractive house, kitchen equipment/tools need an upgrade. Great location! It is an attractive house, with sufficient bedrooms and private bathrooms for my family of three couples and one single. However, the elevator was broken, which caused a lot of hauling to the 2nd and 3rd floors. The kitchen is on the 2nd floor. The exterior doors were difficult to open, and the kitchen stove took over 30 minutes to preheat. Old and much-used pots and pans, knives that did not cut well, and chipped dishes and cracked glasses. We did expect more at this price point. Also, no access to beach chairs, even though off-season, we did expect to have beach chairs. Good location and a pretty beach. ##### Jacqueline G.

Reviewer Comments: We had a fantastic stay! The house was very clean, spacious, and right on the beach! The gated neighborhood was safe and quiet. There were only a few things that I wish had been more clear: the listing says that umbrellas are provided but they have to be rented from a company, as per the HOA rules. I think this fee should just be included with the rental, since you're not allowed to put up your own umbrellas/canopies. The other smaller detail is that the directions to the home should include where the main gate is. We went to the wrong gate and had a lot of back and forth. That being said, the management company was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. Finally, the home is a but older, and the benches on the walkway to the beach were rotting/falling apart. We didn't need them, but could be a hazard. All in all, it was a beautiful home and we would definitely recommend it to any family! ##### Kristy E. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sheryl M., Metairie, Louisiana 9 Jun 2019 #### So perfect, I never left the property.... The accommodations were perfect for our family. The gated community made us feel safe. The kitchen was well stocked. The dishwasher died and the property managers were very friendly and considerate and quick to replace it. Each room felt private. The bathrooms were fancy. The elevator helped loading and unloading, but more importantly, make the trip feasible for my husband's frail mother. The property came well supplied with beach chairs, boogie boards, rafts, and sand tools. The master bed was very soft (I like a firm mattress, so that was a personal struggle). The water temperature was hot and lasted through concurrent and back-to-back showers in several bathrooms. The locks on the balcony doors are near the end of their lifespan. I will definitely look out for availability of this property next year and hope I can make my plans in time. We stay in a beach home every summer - this was my favorite property without a doubt. ##### Sheryl M.

The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is gorgeous and set in a beautiful location. We vacationed in Destiny by Sea for many years back in the early 2000's, so we are familiar with minor issues that invariably arise with every rental. That said, we cannot recommend this house for 3 main reasons.1. The beach access decking is severely splintered with protruding screw heads. It is also significantly leaning to the side. 2. The 2nd floor air conditioner was not working so no one could use the bedroom on that floor. It was hot even in May. The 1st and 3rd floor units worked great. 3. There was a lot of mold in the freestanding ice maker and clothes washer. ##### Amy C.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When I booked this vacation, I was under the assumption private beach meant having the area in front of the house rental to ourselves. What we woke up to, were a line of rental chairs and umbrellas along the shoreline. Unfortunately, we then had to rent them in order to sit close to the water. For a family of 6, that wasn't a cheap additional charge. It's a beautiful home; however, the elevator wasn't working, and as any beach home, it could use some maintenance. Up and down 3 flights of stairs with luggage was a task. The beach and sand are beautiful. As for our family, with the amount of money this place cost, we were a little disappointed. ##### Rosanne T.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our experience here was wonderful from start to finish. There was plenty of space for our family of six, my parents, and my sister and her husband. We all appreciated the king beds in every room, as well as the en suite bathrooms with an abundance of towels and wash rags. The washer and dryer on the first floor was marvelous. The kitchen was well stocked for the amount of cooking we did. Drinking coffee on the balcony, sleeping with the balcony doors open, the incredibly well-stocked room of beach toys, boogie boards, and a few inflatable rafts really sealed the deal for my kids! We have stayed at many beach houses through the years but this one topped them all. It was very convenient to rent chairs and umbrella set up for us each day. Management was easily reached at all times. The gated community felt safe and was easy for us to access (gate, pool, etc.) We stayed the week of thanksgiving and felt like we discovered the best kept secret in Florida - weather was cool but gorgeous. Mostly other families on the beach and it wasn’t crowded. Six adults, three teenagers and a six year old had an exceptional vacation. Outstanding location, attentive management, convenience at every turn; we can’t wait to come back. ##### Sarah G.

Very nice house and the rooms have a lot of room. Easy access to beach . This is our first time staying in a house at the beach and it won’t be our last ##### Jase D.

We stayed here in October with parents, kids and grandparents. Plenty of living space and bedrooms are good size. However, we all decided we probably wouldn’t stay here again as we have stayed in better places at this price point. Rental is dingier than expected. For example there are hand/finger prints on all of the white interior doors that make things feel dirty. Bathrooms are all very tight (except master). To the point where you have to turn sideways to get past open door and into bathroom. Beach towels not included which is stated when you book but very annoying considering it’s a house on the beach and the price of the rental. We’ve stayed in many other places where they are included and it’s so much easier. The “starter” items are ridiculously small or minimal. For example, the kitchen dish soap is about 2 inches tall. The $ store has larger bottles than that. And there is 1 garbage bag in the kitchen and that’s it. We are used to bringing extra tp, paper towels, dishwasher pods, etc with us but this rental’s starters were more extreme than normal. Again, it comes back to the price point where you expect a little bit more amenities/service/quality when you are paying this much for a rental house. Lastly, we had issues with the back door lock not working properly and unknowingly had left it unlocked for the first half of the week including while we were out or sleeping which is a huge safety issue. We had maintenance come out twice to fix it. The second time, maintenance admitted this is an ongoing issue with this door and that the lock needs to be replaced. After working on it for 30 minutes he was able to get it to lock and advised us to not use this door for the rest of the week. The guys who came out to fix things were very nice and helpful but the ladies you talk to on the phone are less service oriented. For these reasons we would go somewhere else next time and also avoid My Vacation Haven rental properties in the future. ##### Phyllis C.

This home exceeded our expectations. It was so nice being right on the beach. Loved the gated community and privacy. Easily accommodated two families and our nanny. Kids loved the property, too! Tons of toys and boogie boards in the storage room. We will be back! ##### Sarah P.
