The location is perfect. We took advantage of the porches daily! We had a large group and the house itself accommodated us well! Great location, nice views with breezes and plenty of room for the kids to play on location and on the beach. We plan on renting again!
The house is perfect for big families. The location and all of the amenities are so convenient. We beached everyday with kids, and at night would sit outside on the beautiful wrap around deck. There was more than enough space for all 19 of us. Honestly, we had a great beach vacation with extended family. However, the booking listing on Vrbo says check out was at 4pm. Upon arrival they told us it was 11am. We told them our contract said 4pm, and they said the best they could do was 12pm. We asked if we were out of the house by 12 if we could leave our cars there until we were done at the beach. They told us they had others coming and we could not. They said cleaning only takes an hour for this huge property, and the other party would be there after that. It wasnât super clean when we arrived, so I do believe that. We were missing lots of pillowcases on beds, and you need to bring your own supplies as far as trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, and laundry detergent. We would book this again, we would just come more prepared, bring our own pillowcases, and verify our checkout time upon booking.
We are a large family 22 in all.We chose Sea Glass Estates because of the design of open concept, king size beds and bunk rooms and large kitchen to handle the dinner party for 25. Sit down in the center of the house
The house was amazing. Kitchen had everything you would needed. We were right on the beach which made it easy to get on the beach. The sand crossing over the sand dome was extremely HOT. We ended up driving around to our spot. Check in and out was a breeze! Grocery store less than a mile from the house. I highly recommend this house for large groups.

I'll start by saying the house is the best house on the beach. I got so many compliments from my family members. It is very spacious there's plenty of space to spread around. The location is absolutely perfect. Most of my family were kids and teens and they spend most the day at the beach. The Dining room table was perfect to sit everyone. We liked that we were able to drive around on the beach. The drive to the house was really nice. The locals are also very nice. We made multiple trips to the big store. Overall we all had a really good time.
This property accomodated a family reunion of guests from 3 yrs old to 73 yrs old comfortably both for inside and outside activities. The location is excellently located on the beach. The property was clean. The stairs has new carpet which i was pleasantly surprised about considering the old carpet i seen when i first went to see the property. There was an inconvenience with the kitchen sink backing up and causing the vent area in the hallway to leak water. The maintenance came quickly and ran a temporary line until a plumber could come and that fixed the problem and satisfied us. Other than that, there was no issue. This is a excellent property for large family gatherings!
First off I did not even get to stay in this house. They called me the day before my check in day to let me know there was storm damage, 1 month after the storm...
They put me in another house that was half the size of this one with no discount what so ever.
They said that they were working with another property owner to make sure that we were placed somewhere and that owner requires a 3 day minimum but he was willing to work with us and let us stay the 2 nights for the price we paid for the bigger house.
We get to the house that they placed us in and Swedes lied!! There was a Swedes sign on the outside of that house, showing who to call if you need to reserve!!
-The beds were TERRIBLE!! We literally had people leaving after 1 night because they couldnt get comfortable.
-You pay this high cleaning fee, yet when you look at the book they leave on the counter then you are responsible for all clean up. Wiping counters, Sweeping, vacuuming, etc.
-The house was beach front but you couldnt see the beach due to how nasty the windows were.
We booked for all of our family to come down for our wedding and this is how we were treated after spending thousands of dollars. Your wedding is suppose to be the best day of your life and this was a vacation from hell!!

Given the property is listed as a wedding venue, we were very disappointed. When we previewed the house in Feb, we mentioned to Swedeâs Realty that the house was dirty. It was having some work done, so understandable that it would be dusty, however inside kitchen drawers were filthy. We were assured the house would be in good shape. It was not, same dirt still in drawers. This place needs an overhaul. A coat of paint, repair outside deck gates, good deep clean of kitchen and baths needed! No broom or vacuum provided to sweep floors inside. Bath and back doors stuck and trapped people. Outdoor trash bin was inadequate for that many people.
The rental company, Swedes Real Estate, is bad news

What went well: house had great potential, master bedroom updates were wonderful, tons of rooms, beautiful view.What rental company made miserable and dangerous:1. They said all we needed to bring was toilet paper and paper towels. They DID NOT SAY WE ALSO NEEDED TO BRING hand soap, dish soap, trash bags, shampoo, conditioner, etc.2. ALL OF THE FIRE ALARMS were dead (pre-power off), excluding one whose test sound was so low that I could barely hear it standing right next it. We burned something a tiny bit in the oven and some smoke-not enough for a fire, but enough for a decent fire alarm, yet no alarms went off. Around 25 members of the same extended family were in this house.3. All of the frames, door slats, fan blades, and even the bench at the end of my bed was COVERED IN DUST. Our allergies were acting up IN the house, yet NOT OUTSIDE.4. An arctic front knocked out the power for nearly 48 hours and the temperatures dropped into the teens (wind chill was 8 degrees at one point). We do not blame them for the power outage, BUT:A) we were not offered, even when we begged, any extra blankets to supplement the 1 summer-temperatures-ready, light weight quilt provided for each bed. We had already EVEN paid the extra fee of $250 for linens! B)we were not allowed to use the fireplace to produce extra heatC) the pipes began to burst around the city and while begging for blankets and knowledge of their contingency plan was for in situations like this, they simply said we would likely lose all water soon.Bottom line, there was no contingency plan or communication with us about what we should do IF any of these situations arose. We had family from age 3 to 78 in the house and from as far away at Seattle. This was our first gathering of the entire family in months and months. The Swedes Real Estate company was not prepared to rent vacation rentals anybody if they did not have a contingency plan or

Our family usually visits in the summer, but Berryl chased us away in July. We changed our week to Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful time in the house we know well. We were pleased at the many updates since 2023 - new kitchen chairs, some new beds, fresh paint inside and out.

The property was fabulous, very clean and lots of kitchen dishes and cookware. We had plenty of room and were right over the dunes from the water. Swedes property management folks were very quick to replace the grill when it was found it pretty bad shape. I recommend this for large families and large gatherings.

We loved our family reunion at A Sea Glass Estate. It was our fifth year there, and we have already reserved it for next year. The home has been updated in several ways since last year. We appreciate that the owner updates to make our stay nicer.

This home was so spacious, just wonderful for our big family. We celebrate The Passover and Easter every year together at a beach house, and this one was the best, it was perfect. The home had everything. We had a great time with our children and grandchildren. Definitely do it again. To the homeowners thank you for sharing your beautiful beach house.

This was my second Labor Day/Birthday family getaway. The property is very spacious with amazing an amazing view of the beach and Gulf of Mexico. I do recommend installing a ramp/elevator for those who have difficulty climbing stairs. I also recommend that the toilets be upgraded to higher, âadult sizedâ toilets.

The location could not have been better. The space was amazing. It for our large group perfect.The house overall needs updating . It was cleanish but needs a deep clean. Nails sticking out on deck, several doors did not close properly. Outdoor shower was rigged up to turn on. All of these fixes would be very inexpensive considering it cost us over 6000 for 3 nights. The kitchen only had a couple of old small frying pans. There was no outdoor table and a small cheap grill. This house could be amazing with up updating and small repairs. Check out basically requires guest to clean entire house and it makes me wondering if a professional cleaning crew is even brought in. This was the only house we could find that was beach front and could fit our group so we would probably stay again.

A Sea Glass Estate is perfect for multiple families as it has a vast amount of bedrooms. We enjoyed the various bed options, not everyone was confined to a twin or bunk bed. We also loved the lot size and of course the beach front location. There was also ample hot water which allowed everyone to get cleaned up after the beach and even the last person still had plenty of hot water. We did have a few issues with the property, given the fact that you are paying between $6-$8,ooo for your stay. Some of the things that need attention to meet the caliber that the fee requires are as follows:- Many of they mattresses were very uncomfortable.- The master Bath, which is supposed to be a highlight did not have any cold water, making the tub unusable. - Many pieces of furniture were broken and required repairs (lose table and chair legs).- Broken cold water valve on outdoor shower (again with a great hot water heater, this too became unusable)- Carpet lifting on stairs, this became a safety issue for all.- Both outdoor hoses were broken (one had a hole in it and one did not have a handle)- Many nails were lifting on the porch stairs, again making this a safety issue for all (we took a hammer and nailed many of them back in)- Many of the dishes in the kitchen had not been properly cleaned or inspected, we had to re-wash all items that we used. We also found a moldy cutting board in a drawer- There was a thick layer of dust under all of the beds and couches.- Some flooring in the main areas were lifting and separating.Again, while we did enjoy our stay overall, they price you are paying for your stay did seem comparable to the condition of the house. With upgrades and a good cleaning overall, we felt the house would garner the price it is asking.
