This property gave a wonderful place for our family to enjoy each other and come back to every evening after our daily adventures. Having the golf cart was so fun.
The house was very clean and up to date. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed. Overall a very nice place to stay in a very nice little neighborhood.
Place was everything we needed it to be. Accommodated 4 couples and 4 kids easily. Location was great and the free day golf cart was a plus. Only issue we had was with the ice maker. Not a big deal though.

Reviewer Comments:
There were 12 of us - 8 adults and 4 children. We had a blast as usual. I think this was our 4th time in this particular house.
Had a good time. House is roomy. Just needs some maintenance and cleanup and fix or replace a few items that don’t work.
But all in all we loved the location and had fun
We had a wonderful time at Beachy Keen! Overall the property was very clean. We had one shower that had something red in the tub (hubby thought it was a sealant for the crack in the tub but our daughter and nieces would not shower in it.). Everything else was perfect and we had a awesome vacation! We recommend this property and would stay there again!! Thank you for a wonderful vacation!
Overall, the property was very nice and enough room for 4 couples and 4 kids to sleep comfortably. The house is right across from the community pool. The pool was a nice size and very clean. We loved the use of the golf cart and how you could take the boardwalk to the beach. The property does need a little maintenance (I communicated to the owners), but overall it did not take away from our experience/stay. I would stay here again.
Great experience just thought living room and bottom room bigger

Disliked: Listing accuracy
Inaccurate bedroom #
This is a mixed review. This is not a 5 bedroom. It has 4 bedrooms and a kitchen dining area with bunk beds. We specifically chose this listing because we had 5 paying couples that needed a bedroom each. If we had wanted 4 bedrooms we could have stayed closer to town.
Also there were 2 major safety issues with the stairs (the back stairs were seriously unstable and the front stairs had a nail sticking out, not great for barefoot individuals) and a nonfunctional bed that had to be rectified upon our arrival. To be fair the management company was responsive and made immediate corrections to the property regarding the stairs and bed the night we checked in.
The listing was fine otherwise. It was spacious and the pool was right across the street. Had the listing been accurate I would have rated it 4 stars. It was important to us that 5 separate couples have their own bedrooms. 2 couples were forced to lose some of their privacy.
Excellent property with some scope of improvements
The property location and exterior was really great. Free golf cart for 24 hours was a big plus. We had a great time staying there, and visiting the nearby spots. The only downside was that the property is starting to show its age and needs some maintenance (we did report, but couldn't get those done). I sincerely hope management takes care of those soon.
This was such a great home to get-a-way to for a family of educators. Even the rain did not diminish our spirits. Lots of room to relax and spend time playing games. Enough room for us to cook each night and eat together. Will definitely consider this home again for future stays.
We had an amazing time with family at Beachy Keen! Perfect location. Wonderful proximity to the pool and beach. It was great having the golf cart and boardwalk access. Kitchen and bedrooms were equipped to fit our needs.
Just a few improvements would have made it even better: a lock for the downstairs bathroom, & darker shades to keep sunlight & surrounding houses’ lights out to accommodate sleeping. We would definitely stay there again! Thank you!
I will start with the negatives and that is 1. Not clean and 2. Bed bugs. Upon arrival I would say the place was not thoroughly cleaned. I spilt some water on the floor in the kitchen and there was only one kitchen towel! For a house that holds 10 plus people there should be a drawer of kitchen towels to dry hands dry dishes etc. This is something I expect from rentals. So I wipe the floor with one of our brand new beach towels and the towel is now black… In addition there were only I believe 6 coffee mugs upstairs. Assuming the group will all drink coffee together again this was odd.
Next up… the bed bugs! Disgusting and put a huge damper on our trip. Thankfully they were only downstairs. On a positive note the staff at life in paradise were great! They quickly had pest control come to the house and brought us extra sleeping arrangements for the last night.
Bed bugs aside I was not impressed with the kitchen or cleanliness. The location was great and the golf cart nice. Great beach access and super convenient pool across the street.
