    I love how close to the beach we were and the house is beautiful! Then owners were always available if we had questions and were extremely friendly.

    House was spacious and clean, well decorated. Laundry setup and house towels and linens and beach towels were plentiful and quality. Beautiful home, lovely setting and the 2 pool options were a lovely break from the beautiful easily accessible beach. Would highly recommend this property in Morgantown.

    What a wonderful place to spend our yearly sibling get-away! My sister, brother and I were so relaxed with the natural nature surroundings. The home was very clean and very well equipped. We stayed for a week in the second week in September and the neighborhood was very quiet. Just the way we like it! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others in a heartbeat!

    As always, we enjoyed our stay at The Beach Bum. We slept well every night and the living room is roomy and cozy! The ice machine was the star of the home ;) Saved us from leaving every day to get ice. We hope to stay with y’all again! Thanks again!

    Jennifer was amazing to communicate with. The house was clean and beautiful and had everything we needed! It is a perfect place to take your family and my 4 kids (ages 2-13) had a blast! We will be back next summer!

    We had a fantastic week! We had access to everything we needed - towels, dishes, spices, laundry, beach chairs/toys, etc on property and tennis, pickleball, biking, and easy access to the beach via the community. We were pleasantly surprised to find bean bag toss boards, which ended up being how we capped nearly every evening. The space in the house was great - everyone had plenty of room, and we could have easily had more stay with us. Communication was great throughout and we felt both prepared and supported. Thank you so much for the wonderful setting to slow down and be together!

    The home was very well decorated and perfect for our needs with a comfortable master bedroom mattress. Note that the main TV could use updating. The home was equipped with everything one would need for a beach vacation. The location of the home was in a very nice beach subdivision where most homes were well kept. The beach was very convenient with the use of the owner's golf cart which was well appreciated.

    I looked at a lot of properties before I picked Beach Bum. The house was way bigger than what I needed, since it was just me, but it looked perfect. And it was. Other than the wonky stairs from the carport to the entry, this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had traveling. I walked the beach every day, found some great restaurants, ate a lot of Waffle House grits, and relaxed, which is what I needed. I loved everything about this trip. And Beach Bum was a huge part of it.

    We had the very best time celebrating my daughter’s 16th birthday! The house is so spacious! We appreciated having so many blankets for the night time golf cart rides and having all of the beach towels already there. We never had to unpack ours. There was hand soap at every sink and the kitchen was fully stocked, down to the electric skillet we used. Jennifer was easy to communicate with as well when we had questions. 10/10 recommend! We will definitely return!

    We loved the property and the layout of the house. It was nice to have the master separated from the guest bedrooms. Everything was in order and looks just like the listing photos. This was a great space for a family to comfortably relax and just a short ride to the beach! Would come back again.
