    The best thing about this property is its location and the beach service for chairs/umbrellas! The minute walk to the beach and not having to lug chairs and umbrellas down was extraordinary!The property could use some updating and light maintenance especially the decking/railing; however, the convenience outweighed the few issues. We would definitely use this property again.

    We recently stayed at the Barracuda Beach House with our family and overall had a good experience, especially for the price and location. The biggest highlight by far was the location, it was only about a 2-minute walk to a beautiful, pristine beach, and having the chair and umbrella setup included was a huge bonus.The house itself had a lot of charm and character and actually felt like a true beach house instead of a generic rental. It was spacious enough for our family, and the kitchen was very well stocked with utensils, cookware, a blender, and even a griddle, which made cooking easy. The oven worked great, the washer and dryer were reliable, and we really enjoyed the fire pit out back and the rocking chairs on the front porch.That said, there were definitely a few maintenance and cleanliness issues that need attention. Some of the porch cushions had visible mold on them, which was unpleasant, and the front porch railing and uneven front step felt like safety hazards. We also noticed trash in the bushes outside and even found some random trash in one of the bedrooms. The carpet in the living room also felt dirty and could probably use a deep cleaning or replacement.The bunk bed in the upstairs room felt unstable and was extremely close to the ceiling, making it really only suitable for a small child. The small middle room upstairs was very cramped, had no windows, and the mattress sagged badly. Honestly, most of the beds felt like they are due for replacement.

    I had a great experience in this house. The owner was great with communication and expectations. The 4 chairs and 2 umbrellas waiting for us on the beach was a bonus. However, we had an issue with running the dishwasher. Every time we used it, water began to rise in the sink. We just decided to hand wash dishes after this happened a couple of times. Overall, the house is perfect for high school/college kids with a few updates needed.

    We had a wonderful stay at this property and would definitely come back! The home was exactly as described. The check-in process was easy, and the host was very responsive and helpful.The location was perfect, a short walk away from the beach, and close to everything we needed, but still quiet and relaxing. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the overall space was perfect for our group. The complimentary chair service on the beach was especially useful and made our beach days so much easier and more enjoyable.One thing guests should be aware of is that the ceilings on the second and third floors are a bit low, so taller guests may need to be careful in certain areas. It wasn’t a problem for us, but it’s something to keep in mind when booking.Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great place to stay!

    This place is in a great location very close to the beach. Check in process is very quick and easy as well. The wrap around deck and the front steps are in very very bad shape and need replaced asap. The side area of the house where the hose for rinsing off sand is a complete safety hazard. If you weigh over 100 pounds I would not suggest walking on this deck and porch. The inside of the house is a little run down as well and could probably use some updates. The one couch in the house is broken so when you sit on it you sink straight to the middle. This house was good was a quick weekend trip with college friends but I would not stay here on a trip with my family and children.

    Location was great but…Very disappointed with this house. It has lots of potential, but it is clearly not taken care of. The doorknob on the front door was barely hanging on . My husband had to fix it and also a cabinet drawer. Bathroom door doesn’t lock or latch. Shower curtain is 2 foot too narrow. Needs a good cleaning. Beds and couch need replacing.

    This house worked great for 2 familys. House was in a great loction for access to the beach a d was easy to get the kids there while walking. The beach service was a plus i wasnt expecting getting 2 chairs and a umbrella. The only bad thing i can say is that the bed in bedroom 2 had a broken frame but is still sleep ok. The master bed really needs a new matress but for value was great no complaint about that. Will definitely look at staying here again. I hope they update the beds by then.

    Couldn't of had a better location, just a minute walk to an amazing beach....good for grandbabies afternoon nap and snacks! House was super cute but needs a lot of love. Beds were very uncomfortable and broken down matresses. Couch was collapsed in the seat. The steps on porch were rotting and unstable. However for the price I can see why he doesn't improve much due to the amazing location and nice acommodating host. Appreciated the ability to have our furry babies as well. Truly a great family trip with close access to the beach. With alittle improvement to the house you couldn't beat it!

    House was clean, but needs some small repairs. Blinds broken in just about every room, closet doors hard to open and close, master closet was broken, master bathroom door wouldn’t lock properly and there was no stopper for the drain in the master bath to take a bath. The shower curtain and hooks in the master bath need to be replaced. The hooks are rusting onto the curtain. There are some outlets that don’t work also. Mattress for pull out trundle upstairs had some kind of funky stain on the corner. We didn’t use the back very much because you have to go through the master bedroom to get to the back patio. That’s kind of misleading. Parking was a bit difficult but we managed. Maybe need to cut back some of your palm trees and bushes, very hard to get in and out of cars in such a tight space. And to get to the house you get smacked with palm fronds. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the beach was so close and we had a free umbrella and chairs as well.

    We had the most wonderful week with our grown daughter, our son, and his wife. The rocking chairs on the porch were a perfect welcome, and a really nice place to enjoy a glass of wine or lemonade. Entering the house, the large living room provided a comfortable place to relax. The kitchen is well-appointed, and included a drip coffee maker, blender, pots, pans, and everything needed. Washer and dryer made it convenient to pack light and go home with clean everything.The dining area includes a large table- great for table games as well as sharing meals. There is also a table in the living/family room.Bedrooms were comfortable. There were 2 bedrooms on the main floor. A spiral staircase takes you to a double bed on the second floor. Our daughter chose the penthouse- the room on the top floor with a full/twin bunkbed -that has a balcony off it. Sheets and regular bath towels are provided. We brought beach towels, and appreciated availability of beach chairs. Bathrooms (one en-suite and one off the living room) provided showers after delightful visits to the beach. (outside shower and hose are handy for getting the layers of sand off before entering the house.)We didn't take advantage of the barbecue and firepit in the large back yard- but if we'd stayed longer, I'm sure we would have enjoyed them.David communicated well- promptly replied to inquiries with great information.

    When we book, regardless of where we go, our goal is to find a place that is safe and clean, not luxurious. The location of this property is perfect in every way. Close to everything but also quiet when you want it to be. The property could be an absolute gem. The master bedroom/bath could use a remodel as it was very dated (and carpets very worn and dirty). We also found the electrical peculiar as many outlets wouldn’t hold a plug and the outlet in the front porch was just not connected (only the grounding wire). Beds were ok, but old and pretty flimsy. There was a pullout mattress upstairs that was heavily stained. The kitchen was ok, fine for a week long stay. The back yard was kept nice and had a nice fire pit. We won’t be back. Value for price was good but would have been great if not for the cleanliness.

    This was our second time. The new fence looks great; the mattresses need replacement. The stove needs replacement. The cookware (nonstick) is peeling-/not safe. The location is still great…the insides needs attention.

    Perfect home for a big family. Very large open floor plan for everyone to have their own space. Owner was very nice and responded quickly to any questions we had. The TV was messed up so he made sure to switch the box out and when that didn't work he was very quick to come back to the home to try to fix it again and offered to buy us a Roku box until it was fixed by the cable company. Very short walk to the beach. Overall it was a great trip.
