Reviewer Comments:
This house is set back against the dune so offers a lot of privacy. They were lots of extra rooms and five bedrooms so our large party had plenty of space to spread out. We were also fairly close to the beach path so that was easy with the kids. They’re also lots of beach chairs, and the beach mat for the lake.
5.0
Best location 2 blocks from beach access yet close to clubhouse & pool. Away from main traffic areas & hillside position provides privacy. Having large decks, fire pit & screened in porch means you can enjoy any weather. Very well equipped & bedroom layout that's ideal for adults who don't want to share bathrooms or sleep in bunk bed!

What a great house! Our group of 5 had so much room! Each one of us has our own bedroom, which was amazing! The gathering space around the kitchen is where we spent the most time, and every morning, we had a deer friend who would visit off the deck of the kitchen. There are a lot of steps going from level to level, but we rallied and got more steps in for the week. We love the Beachwalk Resort, and this was another great place to stay!

The property was lovely. The kitchen is well-stocked with all of the necessary items to cook and serve meals. My only minor complaint would be the dead crickets on the lower level and not enough dishwashing liquid. This would not deter me from renting this propoerty again as this was already my 2nd time renting this home.

We had a great time at Ultra Violet and Beachwalk in general. Perfect location for young children as it was close to the beach and pool/lake. Great beach toys, tons of beach chairs and umbrellas, indoor and outdoor games and activities for kids made the stay lots of fun from start to finish. Only criticism is the house is starting to show its age and there were things that were broken (an outdoor chair, refrigerator shelf, ice maker) that detracted from the appeal of the place. Overall great stay and great place to stay.

Great Stay for Large Group
The home was wonderful for our stay which included ten adults. We all had our own bedrooms with Queen and King size beds. There was plenty of room in the gathering spaces and the kitchen was fully stocked. The neighborhood was delightful but we went in the off season so we couldn't fully enjoy all that it had to offer. When booking be conscious that there are many stairs in the home so not for people with mobility issues. Otherwise we would definitely stay here again!

Ladies getaway weekend
We rented this lovely property for the weekend for a mom's getaway. The house had plenty of space for the 7 of us. We really had a wonderful time. We were surprised by the amount of stairs as that's not super clear in the listing but also not hidden as it mentions bedrooms on the third floor. Big bonus is bathrooms available on all floors. We loved the spacious and open 2nd floor layout which was perfect for what we needed. The property inside was clean. There was some debris outside around the property either carried by wind or left behind by other guests (just something moms would notice). The beds were comfy with an array of firmer and softer mattresses. The couches are super comfy as well especially after several hours at the table playing games. We would definitely recommend this location and will consider it again for our next getaway weekend.

Absolutely the best!
I love the property and everything about it! My sisters and I wanted to get together and spend some time together without the husbands and kids and this house was perfect. We all loved it. The space, the decor and amenities were perfect. Just what we needed.

Ultra Violet was very adequate for our group of 12 adults. The reason we selected this location was because we wanted to go the beach, and we were thrilled with how close we were, and how beautiful the beach was. The property also provided all of the beach accessories that we needed, chairs, toys, floatation devices, umbrellas, wagons and carts to transport all of the beach stuff. Nice large family area to be together. Nice deck with a grill. Ping Pong table and firepit in a sandy area next to the house.
We plan to go back next year!

Family Gathering
We had a very good time in Ultra Violet. Had an issue but this was handled quickly. Lots of good space for all of our family to sleep and enjoy the outdoor space. . Loved all the water toys for us to use which made for a perfect week. Would love to come back and enjoy the area again. Nedra

This is our second time staying at this house. We love all the beach things they have for all ages. The weather wasn’t the best this trip so we used a lot of the games the house had to stay busy. There is plenty of room to spread out if you need to get away. The only negative thing was the air mattress must of had a slow leak and would need pumped up multiple times throughout the night.

This was the second stay at Ultra Violet for our family of 12. It works well for us. We like the location within Beachwalk and the amount of shared living space inside and out. This year we had a couple cooler nights and enjoyed a campfire and s’mores in the sandy fire pit.

We were very disappointed with the condition of this property. When we pay this much money for one week, we expect it to be at least clean. This house was absolutely filthy!!! My wife spent the first day cleaning. After mopping the floors multiple times everyone’s feet and socks were black. The furniture was also old and filthy. It didn’t look like anyone ever moved the furniture to clean. I would also recommend to the owner to get a air quality test. With the exception of 2 everyone else in the house felt sick when in the house for long periods of time. Once out of the house everyone felt better. Needless to say a much needed family vacation was horrible.

This house turned out much better than the pics. This is literally 5 to 6 mins walk to beach. Check-in was seamless. Place was very clean and well decorated and stocked. Kitchen is fully furnished with all supplies and appliances. TV in so many rooms, perfect patio. LOTS of games to play and DVDs to watch. TV's are hooked up with Roku. House also has a lot of beach chairs, umbrellas. Absolutely loved this place. The only thing I regret is not booking a longer stay.

Great house for quick getaway
House was great, it had all the amenities for cooking and entertaining, the deck adjacent to the kitchen was perfect for eating and hanging out, it had more parking spots than most houses in the area. The stair carpet leading up to the kitchen was extremely worn, other than that, no complaints, we had a great time.

Great time
We had our family vacation here with kids ranging from age 2-17. There were things for all ages to play with in the house and do in the area. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed including kids plates, cups and silverware. We enjoyed all the beach accessories that were included with the house. The house is not on the Main Street so we could ride scooters and be outside without traffic. House is close enough to walk to the beach or pool. Our family is already looking at weeks for next year to come back. The only thing we will pack next time are some extra towels since one bathroom didn’t have any.
