Very spacious home. Close to beach as advertised. Kitchen had everything you'd want except a good frying pan for eggs. Pool was nice and maintained well.

Thank you for the review! Glad Big Beach Watch was spacious and close to the beach, and that you enjoyed the pool. Sorry about the frying pan — we’ll replace it with a better skillet for cooking eggs. Hope to welcome you back soon.

Beautifully decorated home. Divided Master Suite away from the other bedrooms made for a quiet night sleep for (old folks). Kitchen had everything we needed to cook and stay in for dinner. The only drawback on kitchen was a small counter depth refrigerator. There were 13 of of us. Inconvenient to go to grocery everyday. Washer and dryer were big and easy to use. Pool was small but it worked for our needs. Beach was an easy walk with no stairs. Overall this was an excellent house! We will be back next year.

This is a great home for a larger family. Our group of 11, ranging in age from 1-68 had plenty of room. The grandkids loved the pool! Being towards the end of the road, and with the private beach access, there were never any crowds. The only thing that should be made more clear: while there is access to the private boardwalk to the beach, it is not clearly spelled out that our section of beach is to the left at the end of the boardwalk. There is a sign big we did not notice it until our fourth day there! With the Deer Lake State Park signs at the end of the boardwalk it was a little confusing initially. But once we figured that part out the rest was good. There are beach chairs and boogie boards on the back patio along with a folding wagon. I do recommend renting a beach wagon- the large wheels made a big difference on the sand! There are two bicycles at the house but one has a flat tire. Overall this is a great house in a great location. The kitchen is stocked with a large variety of cookware, plates and glasses, and serving bowls. All you really need is your sunscreen and beach towel!

We had a wonderful stay at this beach house. The views are absolutely breathtaking—it’s hard to beat waking up to such a beautiful scene right outside. Having private beach access made the experience even more special and relaxing. The home itself was incredibly well thought out, with plenty of space for families to spread out and feel comfortable. The beds were very comfortable, the showers were excellent, and everything was exceptionally clean. You can tell great care went into preparing the home for guests. The rental property managers were also fantastic—very communicative, responsive, and easy to work with, which made the entire stay smooth and stress-free. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others looking for a peaceful beach getaway.

This property is just as nice as the pictures. Everything was clean and new. The location was a very short walk to the beach. It was a great place for our family of 10 that consisted of 3 generations. I would definitely stay here again!

Even better than pictures. The location is great. I was a little hesitant when I saw the beach pics that the water would not be clear in our location but the water was crystal clear so don’t let that deter you. It was so great for our kids to be able to play in the water where the bay meets the beach.

Great place and easy walk to the beach. Lots of space and great having two separate living spaces (east and west wing of the home). Pool was small, but perfect size for small children (they loved it!). Kitchen is amazing, AC very cold, finishes are high end, just super nice all around! Elevator was a little tricky to figure out, but it was nice for getting heavy items like luggage up to the 3rd floor.

Big Beach Watch property was just perfect for our family vacation! The house was very clean, which is very important to me. The kids loved the bunk room! The adults loved the privacy the house provides. It was like we each family had their own wing of the house. The location to the beach is just a short walk and you can see if from the balconies. The kids loved the bunk room! Very nice location. We will definitely go back.
