30A Escapes

“Great location and a beautiful house — we had a wonderful time! It would have been a 5-star stay all the way, but the unit was frustratingly stingy with basic household supplies: garbage bags, paper products, coffee filters, cleaning supplies, etc. We would have happily left the place even cleaner if there had simply been a bottle of Windex available. For a property at this level, this part of the experience felt noticeably different from other high-end rentals we’ve stayed in.”

“We had a great time at this property. The tram service was convenient, even though some of the staff was at times rude. The location is 10/10, and I would recommend for families.”

“The place itself was clean and cozy. The Rosemary Beach area was fantastic. Very walkable and great restaurants. I can’t say the same for the 30A Escapes company or the owner. The day of check in I received a message the balcony’s would not be usable during our stay. The company knew about this prior because all the balcony furniture was placed in the caged area in the parking garage. When retrieving the key to enter the place, the wrong number was provided to us and we had to figure out which cage to retrieve the key from. The elevator, was not usable and the instructions provided were incorrect. As far as amenities, no addresses were provided for the pools or fitness center. We had to use a satellite map to figure out the pool locations and only found one pool. I would 100% not recommend this place to anyone. Come to Rosemary Beach, but don’t stay at a 30A Escapes property.”

“Stay was wonderful and house was great! The only bad thing I have to say is that I messaged the host about the parking situation. We had more than 4 cars and the parking lot they recommended said “no parking overnight or $500 fine.” I asked them what they wanted us to do and they never responded.”

“It was nice it was so close to beach and shops! We tried to get an early check in but we did not receive the code until right before 4 despite calling several times.”

“The house was beautiful, modern, spacious, and clean. The host did extend our check out time by an hour, so we didn’t feel as rushed and were able to get breakfast in the morning. However, the host did not do a good job of communicating and letting us know in advance that we need wristbands, where to get them, etc. It was a headache to figure this out on our own because the actual address was never shared. Also, when we asked for recommendations (e.g., beaches), they were very vague. Generally, we had to continue asking more and more follow-up questions to finally get to some answer.”

“We’ve stayed in airbnbs for most of our travels and all have been great experiences. I want to be clear about our stay here, the house was lovely and the location was perfect. That wasn’t the issue. The issue was the management company 30a escapes did no favors for this home owner. It seems that the management company was trying to save as much money as they could and didn’t provide anything that would have been expected for our stay. Only 2 rolls of tp per bathroom, laundry detergent for 3 loads, 2 trash bags in the kitchen etc. so we were tasked with buying, in addition to paying thousands of dollars for our stay, all of the things listed above just to have the things needed during our stay. They provided no beach towels, no chairs, umbrella, BEACH TOWELS so we were left to purchase hundreds of dollars of these things. And to top it off the ac didn’t work and there was nothing they could do about it after two trips of trying to fix it. This stay just wasn’t worth the money.”

“This property is beautiful and everything is at your fingertips, making it extremely convenient and enjoyable for a family vacation. The pool is well maintained and having the beach and chairs set up for you every day makes the trip so much more enjoyable. Less than desirable things to note were that a drawer of prescription meds (pain killers) plus a whole 2 week pill box with multiple prescription meds were left in a bathroom drawer, as well as cannabis gummies. We had both younger kids and teens with us and not knowing these were in there until days into the trip was very concerning for us. The team seemed nonchalant about this when I reached out and just said they would “let their cleaning management know”. It seemed like a pretty big deal to me.”

“When we arrived we didn’t know where to get the wristbands and we asked people around the neighborhood where to get them and they would tell us that theirs were already at the Airbnb when they arrived, in one of the bathrooms there was still left behind used toilet paper in the trash can, we didn’t have any WiFi in the house the whole time we stayed and they said they were going to send someone and they never did. Our experience was horrible in the house but the surroundings were beautiful.”

“My review is mainly for the property management company. Upon check in, you are sent notice that you only get 2 extra trash bags and 2 dishwasher pods… clearly this is a large home that’s accommodating groups. Very cheap of them to not even provide enough trash bags for a stay. They also clear everything out of the kitchen so it’s not stocked at all. You get 2 tiny ketchup packets of olive oil and tiny salt and pepper. The joys of Airbnb is a house that feels like a home and having basic kitchen seasonings and oils is what most properties keep. Check out- At 8am the property manager arrived to the house to paint exterior of home. He asked if they could get started earlier. Said it would just be paint rolling the house. A crew of 8 guys showed up sanding the exterior and ladders surround the entire property. They moved the bikes to prep the paint. They accused us of taking 3 bikes and are threatening to charge $300 per bike, when all bikes were locked when we left. terrible experience.”
