The house was excellent! Very clean and well kept. The pool was fun! The walk to the beach was around 3 minutes. We had a few issues but they were addressed quickly. A welcome visit from the leasing company was a nice touch and she was able to answer our questions. She was also able to show us some things around the house. I would 100% recommended the house!

This property was ideal for our group of 15 friends. We had 4 families of mostly 3 of us in each family and it was a perfect setting for our long weekend at the beach. The weather was perfect. It was March so we had the pool heated and we are glad we did. If I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely consider renting this lovely house again. The location was amazing too. Just a short walk to the beach.

This house was amazing and the perfect selection for our annual couples trip. There was plenty of space with all the amenities and beach access was just steps away. I highly recommend and will certainly seek out this spot again if we return to this area. The hosts were also very accommodating before and during the stay.

Our family had a wonderful getaway at Sandtrap Escape. The home is beautiful, great layout and a quick walk to the beach. The home/kitchen were well stocked and beds very comfortable. Heated pool and hot tub were a huge hit. The only reason I could not give the home 5 stars was because there were a couple of maintenance issues during our stay. I would definitely recommend.

This property was AMAZING. We stayed here for a bachelorette party. Walking distance to the beach was a huge plus! The house was immaculate, high end finishes, and very well designed. The private pool was perfect for swimming. The hot tub was a nice added bonus! We would stay at this property again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much, this property was truly stunning.

We enjoyed the house and location our only issue was the surrounding vacation homes that rent to weekend Bachorlette/Bchelor parties. We rented the house for 2 weeks for a family vacation and our grandchildren saw a lot of bad behavior. There was noone who could help us out - The loud music, screaming and outdoor partying went on until after 2:00 in the morning.The house next door started up again at 7:00am for the loudest Yoga class ever!!As much as we like to have fun thiis was completly unacceptable behavior - For the money we spent on this trip we will not be returning.

Absolutely loved our stay here! House was immaculate. Had a group of 11 (6 parents and 5 eighteen year old boys) and there was so much space for all of us. The boys chose not to use the bunk beds because they are very tall but figured out sleeping on their own without issue. The bunks are prob a bit better for younger kids (or people less than 6 feet tall lol). The pool was heated beautifully and we spent so much time in it and the hot tub. Lots of supplies were in the garage, including beach chairs, sand toys, pool noodles and coolers! Also got to use the 5 bikes there. Overall had a fantastic trip and the house was perfect for us!

The only thing I would suggest would to have blinds in the living room for the afternoon & evening sun. The walk to the beach was a little further than I thought. Beautiful house & we all had a great time!! There was 17 of us & never felt like we were on top of each other.

Perfect Beach Getaway!
I was very impressed with the home. Every Bedroom had it's own Bathroom and Two Living Spaces. It was super close to the beach which made for easy running back and forth for toys, snacks, etc. It's conveniently located across from an outlet mall, close to the grocery store and a DG and Beach Shop within walking distance. The Property Managers were very responsive. I couldn't find the iron and they delivered me a new one within a few hours. The double set of Laundry Machines made it easy to wash clothes and towels during our stay. My husband loved the outdoor grill. Each TV is a smart TV making it easy to log into to your Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ accounts during your stay. Sitting on the top deck in the morning sun was my favorite way to start the day. We paid to have the pool heated and it was the perfect temp! We really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back soon!

Great for a large family gathering/vacation
Pros: The space is absolutely wonderful! All rooms are large, closets spacious & en-suite bathrooms were great! The elevator came in handy! We had the pool heated throughout our entire stay and our kiddos loved it. The adults loved the spa/hot tub. We hosted Thanksgiving here with our family who traveled from 3 different states to spend the week together; there was adequate kitchen supplies and enough seating for 10 adults & 3 kids. The location is fantastic (close to everything).
Cons: The 1 queen bedroom on the 3rd floor had stained sheets; clean, but stained (it happened to be our room and I didn't ask any others if they had this same issue). There were lipstick stains on some of the coffee mugs so we thoroughly cleaned before using any dishes. The worst of it, though, were tiny cockroaches - no bigger than a woman's pinky nail. We saw quite a few dead which meant they (or someone) is using some sort of treatment for them, but we did see a couple alive. I'm not sure if this is a Florida thing (we're not from there) or just a house issue. We were all praying we did not bring any home with us!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time together as a family, enjoyed the area & the space itself. All "cons" listed are easily remedied and Echelon Properties was fantastic to work with so we would certainly rent one of their properties in the future.
