The rental company used to be 360 Blue. They were acquired by Natural Retreats, an acquisition not so good for consumers! For the first time ever, we needed to cancel our reservation. WARNING to anyone booking a rental - the non-refundable booking fee is outrageous and obscene. It's so bad, that I will look for other rental agencies in the future and carefully check their contracts. We are still 100+ days from the intended vacation, so charging big dollar cancellation fees seems ridiculous. Beware!!

Stay Dates: December 23-26, 2026…read more This was our first full family Christmas trip, and unfortunately the experience fell well below expectations. All issues were reported promptly, but while responses were received, the concerns were not fully addressed. This lack of follow-through led to additional problems and ultimately a complete interruption of our Christmas Day...much of which could have been avoided with proper resolution early on. We were required to relocate from the original property to a replacement that was not comparable and did not meet our needs (no main-level master for elderly family members and only two full bathrooms). Despite clearly outlining these requirements beforehand, we then had to move a second time...on Christmas morning. This meant packing and relocating 9 people, all food, and Christmas gifts, costing us approximately four hours on Christmas morning while we were opening gifts and preparing breakfast. It also eliminated planned time with our grandchildren at the beach. At the final home, the golf cart was not operable (dead battery and flat tire), and a promised repair was never completed. A late checkout requested on Thursday was not addressed until Friday after I followed up on my initial request. I requested at least a 2:00 pm checkout based on missing 6 hrs of our Christmas day moving locations. They finally responded that we would not be granted the extension. Overall, the lack of attention to detail, incomplete issue resolution, and handling of multiple relocations--especially during a special Christmas holiday vacation significantly disrupted our family experience. My family deserved a more responsive and considerate level of service.

We rented a condo from Kim and Andy Zeiset, owners of Villa Grove Properties…read morehttps://www.villagroveproperties.com for our family beach vacation. https://m.facebook.com/villagroveproperties/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/andruzeiset/ We checked into the unit at 4 PM on July 17, 2022. The following day at 10 AM, my son found a juvenile bedbug crawling on him. We inspected his bed and found an adult bed bug. We immediately called the owners, who were a little slow getting back to us; they were on vacation out of the country (probably in a bedbug-free environment, but who knows). Over 2 hours later, the on-site property manager inspected the unit, and he could not find any bugs. Still, to be safe, they had a cleaning crew change the linens on the infested bed and scheduled an exterminator to inspect the unit the next day. We requested to be notified when the inspection was taking place. July 19, 2 PM We received a text message from the owners that the exterminators found evidence of bedbugs in all three bedrooms and that we had to vacate the premises for treatment. I called the exterminator, and he provided additional details on the infestation. He had found multi-generational activity in all of the beds, and in his professional opinion, the unit had been infested for at least 4-6 weeks. The owners of Villa Grove Properties are greedy, terrible people. They ruined our vacation and said they would graciously refund nearly $7,400 in rental fees. However, after they sat on our refund, I had to dispute the charges with my credit card company. They said they would refund me on 7/19, I opened a dispute on 7/25, and it was resolved in my favor on 7/30. Our family gets to take a single vacation a year, and they ruined this year's trip. I asked them for additional compensation to address our travel, food, and bed bug inspection at our home. They actually had the gall to say... "We are back in the country next week, I'm just not sure what else we can do. Other than a full refund, we've also got the costs of replacing bedding, pest control treatments, and other canceled reservations for the next coming weeks all of which will total over $10,000 in additional losses. It's an absolute nightmare for everyone." Are you kidding me! How tone deaf can you get? This $3M condo is only one of the units they own. They had one job, provide a clean, bedbug-free condo in exchange for $7,400. Their laziness and negligence ruined our vacation, cost our family several thousand in expenses, and I still have to worry about how much it will cost me if these bedbugs get into my home. On top of all that, they had the chutzpa to cry about replacing linens and lost rental income!! Kim and Andy Zeiset, the owners of Villa Grove Properties, are greedy, self-absorbed, and have no business in the service industry. They can't think of anyone but themselves and their money.

There were plenty of bath towels and extra trash bags, which were appreciated. However, there were several issues that affected our experience. When we arrived, the trash from the previous guests had not been taken out, and the smell was horrible; it hit us every time we walked outside. I contacted the property about it, but unfortunately, it was never addressed during our stay. One of the bikes had a flat tire, and there were no working bike locks (no one knew the combination). I flagged both issues to management, and they went unresolved. There was a nice fire pit with plenty of firewood, but nothing to actually light it with, which felt like a missed opportunity. There was also no house manual or instructions for anything; we had to figure things out as we went, which was inconvenient. Lastly, the house is not as close to the beach as the listing implies. You definitely need a car or a golf cart. We're an active group, and even for us, the walk (especially with beach gear) was tough due to the hills. Overall, the house itself is lovely, but the property management needs to be more action-focused, and some amenities and communication could be improved for a better guest experience.

This seems unethical to be able to screen out unfavorable reviews. Review of Mariposa/Dune Allen Realty: The location is undeniably convenient, close to essentials with a stunning beach view, but that's where the positives end. The property was a frustrating letdown, with issues that overshadowed any charm. Exiting the house is a nightmare--the overgrown foliage scratches vehicles and obstructs visibility when leaving. Driving into the driveway, our cars bottomed out in the deep potholes. The kitchen has glasses/dishes, but the scarcity of pots and pans makes cooking a meal challenging. The washer and dryer are broken. After reporting this to the real estate agency, a technician arrived only to admit the owners know about the faulty appliances and have yet to replace them. We were told the real estate agency would follow up with us, but that never occurred. Electrical issues throughout the property--many top outlets are dead, lights flicker randomly, and sparks were seen when plugging devices into lower outlets. This house has deteriorated drastically since our last visit, and we were beyond disappointed in the Mariposa.

The location could not be better; you are right across from a beautiful pool and within a 5 min way to a beautiful beach ( you would think it's a private beach ) The house is well maintained and is modern in all aspects. Dune Allen Realty also did everything right! The internet went out prior to our arrival. They notified us right away and proactively got someone to fix it as soon as possible. Once the Tech arrived we found out the problem wasn't even inside the house all 3 houses near each other had been affected. This however has no affect on the great time we had. I wanted to give Kudos to the service and proactive approach to Dune Allen Realty. See you next year!

The BBQ pit on the side of the house is new and in good condition and there are 4 beach chairs included as well from Cabana Man co on the beach everyday! Inside the house is kitted out with a full new kitchen, an Apple/Andriod compatible sound system, personal TV's in all rooms and fast WIFI. All in all was a very enjoyable experience that complemented Seaside's charm instead of being a hastle.

Exclusive 30A Renter Beware!!!…read more I rented a luxury beachfront beach house for 5 days, and paid for a complete, full house cleaning half way through specifically so my guests and I could enjoy clean sheets. Upon getting into bed my guests and I immediately realized they had just made the beds, not changed the sheets. We had to sleep in sandy, damp sheets. Anyone who has stayed on a beach front Florida home knows that the humidity creates a damp feeling once sheets have been on beds for awhile. We anticipated this, and planned a thorough clean with high hopes. I sent an email and nothing was done during my visit. I had to follow up with them for weeks. 3 weeks later I received an email stating the cleaning staff said they changed the sheets. And that was that! Anytime I had questions or needed guidance during my stay, it was a vague, unhelpful answer. I was expecting a luxury experience at that price point. I have never had the issues with a leasing company that I had with them. The caliber of clientele they are attracting does not match their level of attention to detail, customer service or hospitality.

RENTERS BEWARE!! As…read morea repeat guest of Exclusive 30A, this year's experience was extremely disappointing. I rented a home in Santa Rosa Beach for my dad's 80th birthday. Thirty minutes after check-in, I realized the cleaning crew had overlooked several areas of importance. The kitchen bar stools had food and hair on them, several tabletops had not been wiped or dusted, the bathroom showers were not properly cleaned, a pan of biscuits were left behind from the previous renter, and a USED band-aid was stuck to the floor of the pool entrance - just to name a few of my findings. How unsanitary! When I reported it to Guest Services, along with pictures, I was told that the Director of Operations, a valued member of their team, had completed her walkthrough and would not be returning to address any of the issues. Additionally, cleaning supplies would not be provided to clean the home myself. That left me scurrying to run to Walmart, buy supplies, and clean the house -- an unbelievable way to start my vacation! I find the Guest Services team to be unaccommodating, unwilling to accept accountability, in dire need of rewiring when it comes to customer service. Given the amount of competition in the area, I hope the HOME OWNERS that have enlisted their property management services to Exclusive 30A take this feedback seriously! This was a horrible experience that I won't soon forget.
