We came to Atlantic Beach for a family wedding. My confirmation email did not receive instructions regarding how to get into the house. The realtor, whom I rented the house from did not give me a phone number to reach her on, nor did she respond to my email the few days prior concerning obtaining a key. I called a random realtor who looked up the realtor's name and gave me a phone number. Not the best way to start the experience. The house was quite lovely. Unfortunately the master bath had some cleaning issues the day we arrived - but the property manager quickly took care of it. Again, the house was lovely. It was a little farther from the beach than indicated, but we made do. The top deck is in need of repair - you'll need shoes on it - but it's a lovely spot. I did not receive my deposit back from the realtor until I asked for it - 2 weeks after returning home. That was truly disappointing. And ... isn't this Vacation Rental BY OWNER? Finally, the book asks us to book directly with the realtor to save money on the VBRO fees. That felt really sleazy. VBRO pays for your marketing, they should get their share. I am sure I sound really fussy - I thought some of my experience could be helpful to another renter.

We had a fabulous family reunion here. House was very clean, perfectly equipped , and amazing views from the deck . We loved that you could walk to the beautiful beach (10 min walk) . We loved the outdoor shower . Having the elevator was very convient for the older people in our party. We couldn’t have been more pleased and would definitely stay here again!
