Aug 17, 2024 #### Awesome This was a beautiful and newly built house in a cute little new subdivision right across the beach. I loved how the beach was never packed and was quick and easy to get to using our included gulf cart. Everything we needed was included, organized, and clean such as dishes, cookware, towels, we even had access to fire tv without having to sign on to our personal accounts. I did have a question that needed answers after hours and I left a message and was called back promptly with an answer that thoroughly answered my question. My stay was definitely 5/5. ##### Shalicia R. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aimee G.

Golf Cart rental was perfect way to get to the beach. ##### Jenn B.

Aug 19, 2024 #### wonderful bungalow We moved to Bungalow beach after a different house we had booked previously wasn’t fit for people to stay in and had to switch rentals. Russel responded right away to say that we could move in early to save our fridge food, got us in contact with a golf cart reservation asap and we were in the bungalow within two hours of contact/reservation and back on the beach quickly. The home was well stocked with everything we needed, it was clean and the perfect fit to finish out our vacation. The response when we let them know the smoke alarms were beeping the first night was almost instant and they came to change the batteries immediately. We truly enjoyed our stay and have zero complaints. We will definitely be back to visit the Bungalow Beach rentals! ##### Jennifer R.
