The Taj Mahal | Luxury Home, Private Pool, Bikes

House was decent and spacious enough to accommodate our gang. Some issues! Main room TV only one working. Leaky bathroom faucets and inside vanity, water backup in two showers, refrigerator freezer was frozen and difficult to open. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED that Southern Vacation Rentals does not include pool umbrellas. Requires an extra fee on top of the costly rental amount. This was our first time renting with Southern Vacation Rentals. If we return to Santa Rosa Beach we will definitely go with 360 Blue!

Beautiful home with lots of space. Close to beach. Unfortunately the beach boardwalk that was advertised is no longer available, but the walk is still very close. Ice cream shop along the way was great! Would have been nice to have a golf cart, beach chairs & more pool toys as many other places offer nearby. Photos and description speak and show of more pool loungers than actually available. Hot water heater was AMAZING!! Even with our size group. Beach was absolutely incredible! Internet service was unplugged upon arrival. Internet and tv signals were extremely poor. Beach was absolutely incredible! Even has a “beach ambassador” to help with any questions or services!!

Cleanliness and quality of the rental need work. The management staff were nice and accommodating but the house fell below expectations.

Main fridge on the third floor was in need of repair before our arrival and the management company did not notify our party of that before arrival and they also did not tell us it was needing repair even after calling it in the first night. Not until the second day did they admit it was a known problem. We also paid to have the pool heated and that did not work either and come to find out it had issues previous to our arrival as well. The unit itself is not bad, there are a few odd things like bar stools not really being useable because they are too high for the kitchen island or the kitchen table is about a foot to long in terms of comfortably being able to sit at the end spots. There were only 7 of us staying there so we had plenty of hot water for showers and the internet was good. We would have enjoyed the kitchen and living space being on the third floor if we did not need to go up and down three flights of steps every time we needed to cook something. Still frustrated that the guest services team at southern rentals did not give full story of the repairs until they were pressed on what could be done. They refunded some money but would have preferred to have the truth up front and a working fridge...

We had a fabulous stay. House was super clean and a great location from the beach, coffee shops, ice cream, etc. The pool was great and the patio was excellent with plenty of lounges and chairs for everyone. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice getaway!

Overall we had a great time . The house was beautiful and the location was good . Just a few small issues , the outdoor cooking grill was in very bad shape and the house wasn’t very clean when we arrived. We also encountered Roaches inside the house. Due to COVID-19 there was an inconvenience of not being able to check in any earlier thank 4:00. Other than that we had a great time . We probably will not be staying there again.

Enjoyed how convenient we were with the beach, grocery and restaurants. Two showers wouldn’t drain, stains on furniture and bedding.

We all had fun.

This was a beautiful home to enjoy. My two complaints.... no room with king and day bed- we were counting on this for two year old. Also no iron and we were having pictures made . The master king bed on top floor is in terrible need of a new mattress - we would choose to not stay here because of this. It is a nice house though and great location!

We had a large group staying at Truman’s Retreat with kids ranging in age from 2 to 15. There was plenty of room to have space to be together and enjoy our Thanksgiving as a family.
