Decent clean place to stay but I had someone with me who smoked and had to leave the property so they would not violate rules. Sad since there is a fireplace and would be a nice place to hang out in the evening

Great little quiet nest to stay in.

This place is small, but very comfortable. It is well stocked with good quality items. We were very comfortable here. The place is quiet and very close to the beach.The golfcart was a plus. There is a wagon for transporting to the beach. Lots of towels, chairs umbrellas and other essentials. A great place to rent for sure.

Clean and cozy!

We LOVED Beach Joy! It was the perfect little house for our 20th Anniversary. Unfortunately, the a/c died while we were there. BUT, the rental company moved us to a beachside property for the remainder of our stay at no additional cost! If and when we come back to the Island, we would love to stay at Beach Joy again :)

Comfy & Cozy

This is a great place for a couple or a family with 1-2 children. A golf cart is provided which made it really convenient to access the beach although the beach is within walking distance. Very pristine and very comfortable beds....we took advantage of the laundry room facilities. Beach accessories are provided which is another convenience...

Lovely place

Stayed a week with my wife and children ages 11,12,16. Great location near the beach and the bay. The outdoor deck was great. For 5 it was maybe a bit tight with one bathroom but we really enjoyed our stay on the island and the location of the house. Two chickens even visited every day we were there. I would recommend bringing bug spray.

Great for Family with Small Children

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House well stocked, has towels and beach gear. It is a small house which was perfect for my family of 4, kids age 7 and 4. There is a pull out bed from the trundle. I don't suggest trying to cram a lot of people in the house becuase it has a jack and jill bathroom, which means anyone in the bedrooms can hear what goes on in the bathroom. Which was fine for us, but I may not have wanted to share that experience with extended family. The golf cart was an amazing plus, all in all, we will be back to this rental. So well stocked and cozy and enjoyable in a perfect location on the island. Thank yo ufor having us.

Perfect!

This was the perfect little beach house. It’s laid out so well. It was VERY clean. We had absolutely everything we needed. Check in/out was SO simple. No hassle of having to stop by a rental office on the way in or out. I absolutely loved it and would definitely rent this house again.

Small but affordable

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Not too far from the beach, close enough to walk, but far enough that you’re tired lol. Enjoyed the golf cart even though you couldn’t drive it on the main roads. The water softener was broken while we were there, so the water tasted like sulfur. There was more than plenty of beach chairs and activities in the storage room under the house. My only real complaint is that the house is basically one room just separated by thin drywall. You can hear EVERYTHING from room to room. The deck was peeling, and the woods looks to be very old.

Great beach house!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family of three spent a relaxing week at the beach at this wonderful little house. The house was great for a family of our size. The house was very clean, very well kept and equipped with everything we needed for cooking or a day at the beach. The beds were really comfortable and we enjoyed the deck with Adirondack chairs. There is a sandy alleyway way just across the street that goes all the way to the beach, making getting to the beach just a few minutes walk. This is in not to take away from the quality of the house, but just something to be aware of: there is only a 3seat sofa and a day bed in the living room. I found myself wishing there were a chair or 2 to sit in, instead of the 3 of us sitting side by side on the sofa to watch tv in the evenings. All of that said, I would definitely stay there again.

Beach Joy Perfection

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: One of the few properties where the photos lived up to the hype. The house was cute and well-maintained! It was super clean and had plenty of room for the 2 of us. It had lots of sleeping space—8 could find a spot to crash, but it might be a little tight with only one bathroom. The outdoor space was nice as well! House was private and quiet, the golf cart made it very easy to tote all of our fishing gear to the beach and was very convenient for running into town. Amenities were as expected and even above and beyond with the amount of beach gear stored away. We really enjoyed our stay here! We ended up adopting a dog from the local shelter and were sad that we couldn’t bring her with us right away due to the no pets policy, but that was clearly stated in advance and certainly isn’t a knock on the property. Overall, it was a relaxing stay in a well-furnished home! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Beach Joy!
