Pure pleasure, stress free experience, most pleasant personal.
This is an amazing rental and I cannot find anything to complain about. The house was just as pictured, beautiful and clean! Multiple balconies to view the beach. The pool is great. The kitchen fully stocked with cooking utensils. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!
The property was nice but needs some maintenance. Boards on the deck have come loose, the gate to the pool is broken, the lights in the carport don't work. These are minor fixes that would improve the overall experience. The location was great and the pool was too.

Reviewer Comments:
Beachy Keen is ideally located for us. Less expensive than houses on the beach but a very short walk to the beach. Very quiet. Better view of ocean than most non-beachfront houses. It is an older house, generally well maintained. Some negatives are the range display was missing some lights and we couldn't tell the temperature. The bottom drawer was off-track and wouldn't slide well. The living room furniture upholstery could use a good cleaning. The downstairs arrangement was a little awkward. To get to the back bedroom, you have to go through the bathroom, or through the small room with the daybed/trundle. If the bathroom is occupied by someone else, and someone is sleeping or undressed in the daybed room, then you can't get to the back bedroom. I suggest a floorplan diagram in the listing, so people can decide if this will work or not for them. We managed okay. Overall, we really liked the quiet location, short walk to the beach, and the view from the living room. The pool looks very nice, but it was too cold to swim.

This home is across the street from the beach and close to the boardwalk. The views from the living room and bedrooms are great. The deck area has plenty of furniture and overlooks the gulf, which we loved. The house was dated but clean. The furniture and rugs are worn and a few pieces are broken. The kitchen is small but well-stocked. The management company was great to work with. Overall, we had a great stay.

We enjoyed our time in this place. It has a large area for family to just hang out. Several couches and chairs in a very open atmosphere. The kitchen was adequete and the dining table was huge. It allowed 8 people to play games around it. The pool is well taken care of and perfect for our group. Access to the beach is convienent being basically across the street.
The home is well kept. The pool is well situated and CLEAN! The layout of the home is easy and accessible. Good layout for family with children. I must comment, though, there is no pack-n-play or high chair. Otherwise very family friendly!
