Great location! Easy beach access and convenient to stores/restaurants. The best feature of this property is the porch. We spent much of our time out there while at the house. The host is very friendly and communication was easy. The kitchen is well-equipped for meals at home. The property could use a little cosmetic TLC like fresh paint and furniture updates.

This was our 2nd stay at Sharkbait. We love this house so much that we booked our 3rd stay before we even left!! The house is spacious, clean & so close to the beach!! Our dogs love the massive porch to patrol. I wake up early every morning just to sit on the porch with a cup of coffee & watch the sun come up. Truly a peaceful setting. We can’t wait to come back!!

Such a charming beach cottage! My family and I enjoyed our stay at Shark Bait. Our favorite part of the house was the back deck that faced the ocean. I qas tempted to sleep out there the first night, it was so nice! Everything worked great and as it should. It’s an older home but has been updated and decorated beautifully! My only complaint but it wasn’t a big deal, just wish I would’ve known ahead of time was there was no dish soap or paper towels stocked. I did buy some on the expensive trip to the Blue Pig and left it there for the next guest.

I had a relaxing time. Spent most of the time in the spacious patio area. The place was a little dusty and my eyes were itchy and watering a lot. The couch in the living room's underbelly was broken so you sunk deep. But I spent most of the time outside and the weather was great so I had an enjoyable time. Would definitely recommend!

It was as described and was a wonderful place to stay!Heather was a great host! we cooked alot and we wonder why there is never a crockpot or slow cooker in any of the properties we have rented over the years? We have rented through vrbo many places and this is by far the best we have ever encountered! OB our German Shorthair dog was equally impressed!! Thanks Heather!!

We had an amazing experience at this VRBO! Communication with the host was prompt, clear, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed. You can tell the owners put care into the details. We felt right at home and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend!

Perfect house for our family

With four bedrooms and an open floor plan, this house had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay! Heather was very helpful too! The decks out back with ample seating were a great place for sitting in the winter sun and catching up with our out of town family members. We would definitely stay there again!

Home Away From Home

We have had the pleasure of staying here at least four times before. It feels like home more and more every time we go. Short walk to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. House is fully loaded and has everything. The host is awesome! Highly recommend you stay here for perfect beach vacation.
