Such a great experience! A super clean room (but not the kind that smells like chemicals), very comfortable space, great ocean/beach view including comfy Adirondack chairs to watch the water from the balcony. We didn’t use the pool but sat by it, it seemed very nice. We had easy access to the beach as well as walking distance to some restaurants. The street area was clean. Check-in process was clear and the communication from the host was always timely! It was also really quiet (in a good way!). It was during the week so I can’t speak to weekends but I was so happy we didn’t feel disturbed at all by any other guests. I would absolutely stay again!

Great location, with ocean view, small, but comfortable. D/W did not work, coffee maker broke, bathroom not clean, and A/C barely worked which made damp and smelly towels and not very cool. No side tables, or lamps in living space. Has potential to be so much moreNeeds some repairs made. Sheets kept coming off bed, should be replaced and towels never dried due to A/C not working

The place was perfect for a nice, relaxing visit. The view is wonderful. The pool was inviting, but unfortunately, the weather was not. Love that we were just steps from the beach. Everything we could have needed was provided. We didn't need the oven or dishwasher as we ate out the whole time. Our host responded right away to our question.

We loved the location of the rental, the hosts are very responsive and accommodated our early check-in request. The bed was comfortable and overall the space was just enough. One thing out of the hosts control is no washer/dryer in unit. Unfortunately it's Florida and it's humid nothing dries, even bath towels. We would stay again.

We decided to stay at Wait-n-Sea based on the ratings. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. The unit had a strong cigarette smell for the duration of our trip. There were also a few other details that needed attention. Broken towel bar and stain on ceiling. On the plus side, the bed was comfortable and the view was beautiful.
