We have a family of 5, 3 of them college age girls. I've read many reviews of this home needing updates and etc. Many homes need updates. Fish Stix was an amazing place to relax and hang out with my girls before they head back to school. One thing I read said 80 yards from the beach. I will tell you I packed chairs, a tent, a cooler and etc to the beach each day. It might be around 80 yards but feels like 5 feet when you get there. The views are amazing. Go and enjoy your vacation. Make those memories. Thats all that matters!
Fish Stix was an absolutely perfect place to vacation. Really enjoyed being so close to the beach and the ocean views from the front porch are wonderful. The house was very well stocked and clean. We were able to add a day at the very last minute with zero problems. I would definitely recommend this and we are hoping to return for our next beach trip.
The location was perfect! The decor is dated, no problem with that, and itâs seems to have weathered many storms. Once settled in we noticed:lots of peeling paint on doors/kitchen cabinets, kitchen is not stocked with what you need, stains on walls, rusty metal shelves in each shower, food under sofa, scratched up end tables & kitchen table, very worn sofa, etc⊠Bed in master was rock hard. Pictures on VRBO show what the house looked like at one time, definitely NOT what it looks like now. We had one rainy day, and no games to play with kids anywhere in house.Positives: location, cold air conditioner, good W/D, nice frig, dishwasher, oven worked good.
Wonderful Stay â Perfect for Families and Accessibility Needs
We had a great experience at Fish Stix! The ramp was a huge help for my mom, who has difficulty with stairs, and for my daughter navigating with a stroller. The deck was our favorite spotâwe loved sitting out there and watching the waves roll in. While the house could use a little TLC, it was absolutely perfect for what we needed. Check-in and check-out were seamless, making the whole process stress-free. I would highly recommend Fish Stix to families with children, individuals with mobility needs, or anyone looking to stay close to the beach.
Nice property close to the beach!! Very clean. Itâs a bit dated in some areas but since it was so clean, that didnât bother us! And it is a nice short walk to the beach!! We loved our stay!!
We will Always love Fish Stix! Our favorite is sitting on the deck watching the Dolphins in the Gulf. The house is 4 houses from the beach. 80 yards ( I believe) to the water. Each time I've reached out to the property manager, they are always so nice and helpful! The Ramp really came in handy, as most hosts in the area are many stairs. Weather permitting, open the window, and fall asleep to the sound of waves crashing.
Upon arrival we were surprised that the house was pretty dirty. We had to spend an hour wiping counters, sweeping, cleaning dead bugs in the window sills, wiping shelves before we put our things on them etc. This house is pretty dated, but that didn't bother us, it is very functional and the kitchen is very well equipped. However, almost every dish, cup, pot, silverwear we took out of the cabinets was dirty and had to be washed before use. Caked up dust on all the decor, lamps, light fixtures and baseboards and vents, not very appealing. Dirty fingerprints and just stuff on walls, doors and cabinets, microwave is falling apart and dishwasher was very finiky and spots on the carpets and rugs. Overall we enjoyed our stay, the house is literally a few steps from the beach!
The location was amazing! A few things I wouldâve liked to see differently with the house but the check in process was smooth and the location made it worth while.
After a little missed communication with the manager all was in readiness when we arrived. Two couples had plenty of room and privacy. Kitchen was well equipped. Cheerful artwork (we were in the Mermaid Room.) Very close to a beautiful beach, which we could see from a roomy well-furnished balcony. One great feature was the ramp to the upper floor. It was so easy to to roll our luggage and supplies in the cart we brought. Excellent, quiet, quality lodging, in a superb location.
It was a wonderful get a way. The location was incredible. The full Hunters October Moon
Warm days and cool ocean spray nights
One day of light showers then a beautiful God sent Rainbow
We enjoyed this vacation so much
House was so cute. Needs a good deep clean but not nasty. Had everything we needed plus some. Would only recommend upgrading the mattress in master bedroom too firm for us but other room was great. Wish we had, had a blow dryer but no big deal. View of ocean was beautiful and we enjoyed the balcony so much. Very relaxing time. Would definitely rent again.
We had a great time at fishstix. So close to the beach. The house had everything we needed. A/C was cold. Decorated so beach. Great cable and WiFi. The house had beach chairs, toys, boogie boards and a cart to haul it in. We also had a BBQ. This home is not perfect but I was always at the beach and would stay again. I hope I can.
We absolutely loved our stay at Fish Stix. The location in relation to the beach was perfect. The beach wasnât crowded at all and everyone we met, neighbors, construction workers, fellow beach goers, were all so friendly. We hope to be back next year!
