Gunk Reunion

This property was very well laid out for the five couples that came to stay there; with 5 bedrooms and 5 separate baths. A couple of the beds on the 2nd floor were not as easy to get to or had smaller beds but the concept worked well us. The elevator was truly a blessing as one of the wives had a broken leg and was in a wheel chair. She was able to use the upper floor master as it had more room to move around in that the 1st floor bedroom had. We mostly used the upper floor for our activities etc because of the access for her. Having the two kitchens was great because we did most of our meals in house and it gave us more options for cooking for a larger group and had ample pans, kitchen tools, dishes, etc. It would have been good to have had a more detailed guide to what was where and how to use things. There were so many light switches it took a while to find out which went where and we didn't find the ice maker until about day three but finally figured out how to use it and that helped a lot. With the screening down on the roof of the lanai it was not as well cleared of debris as it could have been but with the cooler weather we did not use it so much but we did love to sit out in the evening and enjoy the fire pit. There was a problem getting the key to work on the small garage walk door so we had to run out the big door while closing and have it locked from the inside. Everyone loved the decor and the big areas with large tables and plenty of chairs for seating.

Wow!

This place was the absolute best! Sparkling clean and very well stocked with everything we could have possibly needed. Plenty of room for all the family - nine total. So many living spaces - great for everyone to get away for quiet time or get together for lively time. The elevator was a nice bonus. My favorite place: a seat in front of the poolside fireplace. Property managers were super responsive. Will checked in often to ensure all was well.

Beautiful Property, Sleeps 10

This is a well-appointed property in a wonderful location. Property managers extremely responsive! Had a small issue and they had someone to the house in no time. Very easy check-in. Garage space perfect for "stuff", including yoga and batting practice :) Our biggest complaint is the claim that this sleeps 14. The bunk room is suitable only for children under 12! My sons (17, 21) could not fit on beds. The top bunk has a labeled weight limit. Thankfully there is a giant couch on which they crafted a bed. Spent A LOT of money for 2 guests to sleep on a couch. Sleeps TEN adults comfortably. Bathroom situation great for large number of guests. Kitchens were stunning. Surprised that it was 100% empty. Our experiences had us finding basics like olive oil, salt & pepper, etc but nothing here. I understand some wiuld prefer that. Bath towels and toiletries provided. Nice welcome gift upon arrival. While information was accurate, printing a copy would have been helpful. QR codes are EVERYWHERE on the island. Great if you are, sadly, attached to your phone. Laminate a copy and put on each floor. So simple. Another oddity is the number of light switches! Lots of switches, yet property so dark inside. Windows on one side of building, so we were constantly looking for light! Twin bedroom has a tiny lamp. Minimal a/c. Loft bedroom is neat space. Light switch for bed in loft area at base of spiral staircase. Odd. Design flaw rather than property management. Again, they were awesome.

My stay at Firethorn Lane

We loved the house! I cannot pick one favorite spot! Once we figured out how to turn on the waterfall, jets, and heater, the pool was awesome! The jets and waterfall shower head in the showers were great. My husband uses a scooter, so the elevator (which was a must) was wonderful as it didn’t limit his accessibility. We had eight adults, so we loved the spacious hangout and eating areas. Beachside Getaways answered the two calls right away and even came to my rescue when I couldn’t figure out how to use the door code. The only suggestion I have is the windows and exterior doors needed washing and there were some dusty areas inside. But overall, I give it a thumbs up and would stay again!

Great Hurricane week

We had a great time with family. Thank goodness for the beautiful home and pool, as the impending hurricane curtailed our activities. But there was plenty of room and enjoyable pool time. I would say the only issue was first floor living room tv, which was extra difficult even with the directions in the book. All in all a wonderful place.

***DrEaM HoMe***

The place was absolutely perfect for our family and the listing is 100% accurate. The pool was by far the highlight along with the elevator and lovely appliances. The up to date technology was also wonderful. All of the mattresses were upgraded and super comfy and the fact that the bottom floor is identical to the top made it really nice because we could separate from other family. There are also two screened in porch areas on each floor as well and another living quarter with a spiral staircase, loft, kitchenette and another bedroom for two off of that. It could sleep a lot more than we expected it could. We will definitely be booking again despite our hiccup with the pool chemicals. The property management took care of everything they needed to and were very easy to communicate with through text as well no matter the time of day. We were truly grateful for our amazing experience there and words definitely can not express the great experience.

Amazing Pool

The house looks like the pictures! There were some issues that came up and it made it hard to enjoy each day, but overall we were very happy. We had a hard time figuring out how to work some of the lights (and some we never figured out). The bedrooms do not have curtains to cover the glass doors so be prepared to wake up around 6-7 am when the light shines in. None of this was a deal breaker. The pool is AMAZING!!! Make sure you purchase a lighter for the outside fire pit. That was so amazing!! The walk to the beach was super easy and the layout of the home is fantastic. It was a great place to enjoy some down time.

Beautiful home!! Loved everything about this house and will be back. The two master suites kept anyone from fighting over just one. The two kitchens gave people their own space especially in the mornings. The apartment over the garage was perfect for the two teens we had with us. The pool area was just amazing, it made the trip. From the hot tub to the fire feature to the waterfall and fountains. You could even cook out there if you chose. Cant wait to go back!!

A Wonderful week at 17 Firethorn Lane

Great vacation home you need to see to believe. It was the ideal spot for our three-generation family of thirteen. The short walk to the beach enabled quick trips back and forth. We especially enjoyed the large pool under the lanai as our five grandchildren used it every day even when it rained a bit. With 13 guests, we were able ensure everyone had their own private bedrooms and bathrooms and could spend some quiet time if they so desired. The house itself is a gem with gorgeous decorating and super comfortable furniture. The kitchens are well stocked with everything one needs. Both master bedrooms are fantastic with comfortable beds, great lighting, more than enough closet space, and rain forest showers. The home is loaded with technology—just one suggestion might be to label the switches. We would rent again in a heartbeat. One more thing...the team at Beachside was responsive and great to deal with.

Vaca Review

This property was perfect for our family (of 14) beach get away. The walk to the beach was a little further than anticipated, however the youngest in our group was 10 & we felt safe for him to come & go safely, even though he had to cross South Forrest Beach St. The kitchen cupboards were a bit disorganized but we managed utilizing cookware/dishes from both kitchens. Staff from Beach Getaway was most attentive & handled the minor problems we incurred in a timely & eifcient manner. The pool area was amazing!! Would definitely stay here again

Great Home.

Our time spent at 17 Firethorn was great. The process for reserving the space was incredibly simple with confirmation received within the hour. I loved that the management company sent periodic notices about things to remember or bring, including tips and the weather. The home was a modern beauty with spacious rooms sufficient to accommodate private time as well as group fun without feeling closer in or cramped. Every possible detail was taken into consideration from the various seating options, the elevator, down to all of the available kitchen tool and utensils. Of course having two kitchens was a definite plus. The pool area is quite lovely adding a special touch to our home away from home. The two grills made it easy to accommodate all food choices when grilling and the waterfall added to the relaxing nature of the space. Of course the heated pool was perfect for evening swims after getting out of the spa. I could definitively imagine enjoying the beauty and comfort of the area in the fall and winter months as well. There were a couple of things that were annoying but not a deal breaker like the freezer not being secured properly thereby making it difficult to open the door. Also the washing machine and dryers takes forever to complete a cycle so one must be prepared and act accordingly. The sound system requires you to download an app that does not easily allow for pairing with your own device for the enjoyment of your personal music. There’s a different app to download to manage the ambience of the pool and waterfall areas which makes for a cumbersome process but certainly not a deal breaker. Overall, a very nice home with features and spaciousness to accommodate a large gathering of family and friends. If the need arose again, I would definitely rent again.
