Fantastic Family Getaway at Our Beach Times

We had a fantastic stay at Our Beach Times! The location is perfect—just a short drive to the beach, making it super convenient for our family. The property is well-maintained and welcoming, with plenty of space for everyone. One of the highlights was the pools. The main pool was a hit with the 8-year-olds - what kid doesn't love enclosed water slides? The other pool was the perfect spot for the younger kids to splash around while we relaxed nearby. We loved being able to enjoy family time by the pool after a day at the beach. Overall, this place is ideal for families looking for a fun and relaxing vacation. We can’t wait to come back!

Clean & Comfortable

This property was great for our party of eight! Everything was clean and well stocked. We had space to spend time together or apart. The AC and fridge worked perfectly during our stay. We didn't cook, but there were plenty of mugs, plates and utensils. The property is convenient to the beach and restaurants and we enjoyed the pickleball court, pool and fishing from the boat docks.

Hospitality that goes above and beyond!

We were down during the eclipse. When we arrived, there were a couple of pairs of Eclipse glasses present. A nice touch that made us feel extra welcome. The house was clean, instructions clear, and the access to the Yacht Club was a great touch. Close to the beach, plenty of bathrooms, bedrooms and showers, and the Big couch was perfect for the family to recover after a day in the sun. I highly recommend.

Great Stay at Our Beach Times

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was great, close to the beach and all the stores/restaurants. The property page on the site says 5 min walk to the beach, it’s more but still close. If you have kids and a lot to bring to the beach I would drive not walk. I run a couple miles a day and I enjoyed being able to run on the Seawall and see the water. They have a pool on site, great for kids after they have enough of the beach. The property also offers gas grills and a couple charcoal ones too, which is really great if you want to cook and not eat out every meal. They have a dock you can walk down and fish off of too. Really great location and very quiet. We enjoyed our week there, definitely be back next year! Note for the property management- the shower upstairs has a curved shower rod that is screwed into the wall upside down or put in weird which made showering in there annoying because the shower curtain doesn’t stay closed.

Nice Place That Needs a Larger HVAC Unit!

Outside of having two separate HVAC Technicians come to our home on two separate evenings, the stay was great. The single (2 Ton) HVAC Unit would not keep the downstairs area cool. The property manager even went out and purchased 3 box fans for us to use. This concern is not an issue with property management, as they responded promptly each time. The issue is with ownership or the builder going with and HVAC unit that is undersized in my opinion.

Fun weekend

Great place to stay. The Kids loved the pool. The adults loved the little back yard area to hang out in the evenings. Wish they had more parking but overall very nice stay. We would consider staying there again.
