Memorable Family Vacation!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The perfect size home for 4 and our pup. Clean (and trust me I am a stickler about cleanliness), plenty of room to spread out and comfortable beds. Having never been to 30A, the home was a great first impression to all the area has to offer. It was the perfect quiet community about 2 miles from Rosemary and just over a mile to Alys. The other direction takes you to the Big Chill (about 1.3 miles) and more great eateries. Some of our favorites were Ambrosia (more of a fine dining experience), Mimmo's, Cafe 30A, Cowgirl Kitchen, George's and Tommy Bahama's (in Sandestin). We had two small hiccups: 1) The VRBO listing noted beach items that the property manager's listing did not -- one of which was beach chairs. The true beach chair that was on property was broken and I reached out via phone to request a new one along with another (vs. the straight up and down/tall chair that was there). The person I spoke with was a bit combative noting beach chairs were not included. I text the listing on VRBO that noted they were to the property manager and they were quick to get someone over to replace the broken chair and include another one, which we appreciated. 2) Internet/TV Service. I’ve seen numerous prior reviews noting the same and it was mostly non-existent for us. We restarted the box and it helped toward the end of our stay. Cable would be better than Roku TV’s in our opinion for renters, easier for all. We'd come back in a heartbeat!

Great Getaway

We had an amazing stay here! The house is in a great location, it was clean, close to the pool, and beach! Our only critique is the WIFI is in and out so we had difficulties streaming movies. Also note the beach access across the street leads you to a private beach, so you must walk a bit down to the public beaches when entering through that gate. Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sans Souci! Thank you 30A Escapes!

Nice rental property that needs to have the decking off the master bedroom resurfaced as it is flaking and then gets tracked into the bedroom-rendering the deck unusable.

DIY Vacation

Sans Souci was a lovely home, but staying there as guests was more than a little disappointing. The front porch had not been swept, and the furniture, looking worn with tables in need of repair/replacement, had not been cleaned off. We got inside and started turning on lights, and discovered that all undercounter lights above the stove were not working. Light above shower in hallway was burned out, as was one of the lights on stairway leading upstairs. We called and someone came out right away - he said that the kitchen bulbs were not burned out. The power had been cut from the power source, so there was nothing he could do. As a result, it was very dark cooking as the overhead lighting was insufficient to allow you to see food on the cooktop well. We walked upstairs to the master bedroom, and found that our view out of the French doors led to a set of doors lying on the patio floor. Upon entering the master bath, we saw that the French doors that had replaced the one out on the patio floor had not even been installed completely. The mfr. decals and instructions were still glued onto the doors, and the trim around them had not even been painted. Once again, we called, and the response was quick.Men came out and secured the discarded door to the railing of the patio. We decided to ride the provided bicycles, only to discover that all 3 had tires that were almost flat. Once again, we called and the response was quick - someone came out and got the tires inflated. The next day, we took trash to the 2 large trash cans outside, only to discover that they were completely full and smelly. We had to take both to the curb on trash day - it was obvious that they had not been emptied in weeks. The house was very well appointed and we enjoyed the location. However, for the price we paid, we should not have had to experience any of the above mentioned issues. The whole idea of vacation is to relax and not have to do a thing. I hope that the owner and mgmt. company will remedy these types of issues for other guests. (Photos of issues available upon request.)

Great home! Clean, had everything you could need. Very close to beach access. Only issue was that you aren’t allowed to set up on the beach near access point. You have to go to the public access and set up there. Felt misleading with having had a code for private access.

Great stay

The management company was wonderful. I feel the house could have a little bit cleaner as far as floors and couches. However, we booked very last minute and I know it is peak busy season. Also, the kitchen was a bit dark and it appeared some bulbs were out. We did not call about the lights or I’m certain they would have rushed over. This property is right across the street from the beach access which was lovely. I will say if you are traveling with grandparents, know that the stairs are very steep and a long way up and down. Also, they are very narrow so if a group is coming up or down at the same time, someone has to wait. It wasn’t a big deal though because you are right across from the beach.

We loved staying here. The house was lovely - conveniently located and tastefully decorated. We had a little trouble initially with access codes - not to the actual house, but pool, etc. However, any time we had an issue or question the management company answered the phone and helped us with whatever. I would definitely recommend this place!

Christmas 2020

House has a good layout, was clean and nicely decorated. Beds were very comfortable and bathrooms nicely stocked. Living space was also nice. Kitchen is stocked (no spices) but knives need to be either replaced or sharpened. Upon Arrival quickly noticed that 3 of the kitchen lights (above stove and sink) were not working. Reported same day to property manager and after 3 days of waiting fixed on our own (burned out bulbs replaced from hardware store). Lights under the cabinet are still not working. Major disappointment was the advertised pool was closed/under major long term construction but we were never notified. This was a major factor in the decision to rent this location. Once again no response from the property manager when asked for details. Overall the house itself is nice and structurally sound, however the experience is hampered by false advertising (pool availability) and poor property management.
