786 Orchid Ct.

The house was great for 3 couples. It had everything you needed including 3 bathrooms attached to 3 of the bedrooms. House was well stocked with everything needed to cook in. Close enough to Sunset beach and restaurants to walk. Chairs and coolers for a day at the beach. Fishing poles to fish, corn hole, warm south facing pool with all day sun in March and a open concept living area. We had zero complaints and everyone loved the house. Very comfortable beds. Would definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed staying,

The house was everything we were expecting, no complaints there. 2 things somewhat stood out about our stay that if changed could have improved it.

1) They (rental company) are cheap when it comes to certain things. Specifically, paper products. I was surprised to learn that they provide you with 1 roll of paper towel and 1 roll of tp per bathroom. This just feels cheap to me. It wasn't exactly cheap to stay here for a week, and i expected those things as well as kleenex (there was one 1/2 full box of kleenex for the entire house) to be provided. So that was frustrating that we had to go out and buy that stuff.

2) Check out was at 10:00 Saturday morning. At 9:00 Saturday morning, I was cooking breakfast and I heard the front door unlock (no knock, no ringing of the doorbell) and in walks a lady. Turns out she's with the cleaning service. I didn't appreciate that at all. The door was locked, you don't knock or ring the doorbell, you just unlock the door and walk in. I was not happy about this.

Lastly, my only other complaint is that there was no guest book. Guest books at a vacation rental are very helpful and I wish ours would have had one. Had to figure out how to run the hottub ourselves as there was nothing there that told you how it worked. It's also always nice to read about other people's stays and see where the good places are to eat etc.


Other than that, the house was great. Pool and hot tub were both in great shape and worked well (once we figured out how to turn the hot tub on). Great location, 5 minute bike ride to the beach access. Overall a very enjoyable stay, but little things could be improved.

The house had everything you need to just sit back and relax. We saw dolphins swimming by in front of the house, The pool was awesome and the sun was always out and if you didn’t want the sun you could go in sit in the sunroom and still be outside.

The Orchid Ct. house was everything we hoped for. The water view was enjoyable with wide canal views. The house is dated, but I think that is what makes it special. There were just 4 of us but I can see that the house can hold a larger party comfortably.

We loved the home, spacious and all the items you need when you fly for beach or boat days.. so thankful for those! Home is close to beach, town, shops & sun exposure allll day! We will be back!

The only suggestions, it would be nice to access the home AT the home instead of the rental agency, the extra stop after long travel feels like a million years... and perhaps a starter pack of toiletries.
