We couldn't have asked for a better location or better weather. We had an amazing time. The maintenance guys were amazing we were so grateful to them. If your visiting the island definitely hit up Beach Planet for souvenirs, they have the such great people working there. Can't wait till the next time.

Great house, great location! Good mattresses and nice furniture, but needs a deep cleaning and some minor repairs, like toilet flushes, door knobs, fridge shelves,...

Almost paradise

Almost paradise

Overall, we were pleased with our stay at this home. There were a couple of things that happened that made our stay less than perfect. We were a group of 18 - 4 couples and 10 kids, ranging in age from 9-15. Things that happened that were annoying but were handled well: We got to the property right at 3 pm and checked the propane on the grill. It didn’t seem full enough to grill that night, so I called the property manager. We had propane within an hour. The faucet on the shower on the main level wouldn’t shut off after my son’s shower, and they sent someone out within a couple of hours to fix it. Also, one of the shower/tubs upstairs wasn’t draining well, and the guy fixed this at the same time. None of these issues affected the rating given, because the property manager handled these things quickly. Things that should have happened differently: I’d say the listing isn’t very clear. We were told there were 3 king beds, a full bed, and a twin with a trundle (along with other beds that don’t affect this piece). We knew one king bed was in the room with the bunk beds, so most likely wouldn’t work for one of the couples. However, we thought we’d be able to set the twin/trundle up as a “king” for one of the couples. It was listed as being a separate room. Maybe technically it’s a bedroom, but it’s basically an oversized closet with a window. There is room for the twin bed, and the trundle is about 6 inches shy of pulling out from underneath the twin when it hits a wall. So, there is a twin bed and a bed smaller than a twin. It also doesn’t have its own entrance - you have to go through the room with the bunks OR the room with the full to get to it. This should have been more clearly stated. We made it work, but it was disappointing. I feel the listing is misleading. Also, when we got to the house on Saturday, we couldn’t get the wifi to work. The property manager sent someone out to look at it. After messing with it for about 45 minutes, he told us they’d have to call the internet provider, and that wouldn’t happen until Monday. On Monday, we didn’t hear anything; so I reached out to the property manager. I was told someone from Micro-Comm would be out that day. The guy showed up around 3:30 and told people in our group that the house had been offline for 65 days. It was finally fixed on Wednesday afternoon, with less than half our vacation left. This issue should have been caught before we arrived.

We LOVED being right on the beach and at the end of the Island. The sand and water were beautiful. The island itself does not have a lot to do, but you can take the ferry to gulf shores. Everything closes around 9pm and at every restaurant we went to we would sometimes wait 1-2 hours before a waitress would come talk to us. You have to have a reservation days in advance or you most likely aren't getting in. The house had some issues. We we arrived some of the beds were made without sheets. When we got the extra sheets upstairs, the room spelled terrible. All the sheets were molded and so were the boards it was laying on. The washer had a wet shower curtain in it and the dryer had wet sheets that spelled nasty too. We spent the first two days washing all those sheets. I emailed the property manager about it to be nice and let her know that the cleaning service isn't doing a great job, but never heard anything back. They only reached out to have a repair guy come look at the stove (which I never mentioned). There was also mold on the ceilings in certain areas. The fridge does not hold cold very well and the stove had some issues. The house could use a dust pan for the broom. We had a hard time sweeping up sand without a dustpan. If it was cleaner, we would probably come back to this house because of the location and the beach area.

Enjoyed the location and the Eagles Nest too!

Really enjoyed the location of the Island Escape; however, disappointed that some repairs (house siding) from 2020 storm weren't fixed prior to our stay. Also, outside chairs and gas grille should be replaced. I did call the property manager to let them know that their was not gas in the grille and they got it corrected within an hour! Thank you!
