The Henderson Beach Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful place, wasn’t excited about having the rooftop bar closed off for a wedding party. I was only there one night and I could’ve used a drink! Maybe shut half of it down and let the other people still use it?"

Luxury Home, Gulf Views, Private Pool/Jacuzzi, Movie Theater, Golf Cart Rental

10/10 Excellent

"House was as described. Just a short walk to the beach. Host was very responsive. We had a door handle that broke and they sent someone out the same day. Only thing I would change is some of the yard. Lots of dry, rough, straw like material. Made it difficult for my dog to walk on to potty. But, we made it work by taking him for walks!"

BEAUTIFUL GULF FRONT w Huge Balcony & Amazing View 6th Floor Unit 605 at The Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The only complaint is that the dishwasher needed cleaning and there were extra bags in the bottom of the bathroom trash cans, but not the kitchen. That's really small considering that there are all kinds of other things available that other condos don't provide. the view was perfect and the outdoor seating was the most comfortable by far of any we have ever experienced. The beds and living room furniture were also comfortable. There was also a small "office" room that was great for everybody to put stuff that they needed but wanted to put out of the way. T.V.'s are huge. The owner was helpful and nice before our arrival. We didn't have to call her while there, so can't report on that. FYI: even though the restaurant downstairs has a great ambiance, we can't recommend the food."

"I have no complaints! It was one of the best places we have stayed! Communication was easy. Any questions I had were answered fully and promptly. House was very clean! The house is a pet friendly home and I would have never guessed that. Very well cleaned. The house is very big! Very spaced out. Love the layout. Gave us all plenty of space. There WERE only 12 of us though and it can technically sleep 29! Furniture was extremely comfortable. Living room a huge hit. And the pool was wonderful. I cannot say enough good things. Miss it!!! We made some precious memories at Sunbelievable and we WILL be back! "
