We had an amazing stay here for Thanksgiving. The kitchen was the most well stocked kitchen of any rental we've ever been in. There was nothing missing that we needed and we needed a lot for Thanksgiving. The host left a sweet welcome gift and introduced us to an amazing local boutique. Location was perfect, walking the beach, beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Hot tub was a great perk for the cooler weather.

Property was beautiful, weather perfect. This house had everything we could have wanted in space and amenities plus the kitchen was well stocked. We liked seeing the owners pictures and reading their stories. Checking in was so easy and Bob is very accessible, helpful and friendly.The only thing we wished for was our own access to the beach. Sharing the walkway was okay but our decks were not as private as we would have liked with the arrangement.We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends and family.

We could not have loved Stories By The Sea more!
The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable for our party of 7. The kitchen was very well-appointed, it had everything you'd need and more. The hot tub was fabulous, the beach was perfection... we loved everything about this trip. So much so that we are already planning to book it again for next year. Can't wait to be back!!!

Awesome week at Stories by the Sea
This property is superbly stocked with everything you would want. Some of us flew, so beach chairs (not even rusted!) were a plus plus. Linens, beds, dishes, appliances were all appreciated.
There was pickleball played, walks taken, many beach cocktails enjoyed, all from this great location.

relax and unwind
We all enjoyed our stay in your beautiful home. The canopy tent was a lifesaver for our long days on the beach, as were the beach chairs> the house had everything we could ask for except a pizza pan(lol)We had a great time collecting shells, walking on beach, soaking in hot tub and playing games. We survived the tropical storm that hit on our second day there. We ohioans dont see rain like that! the rest of the week was great weather and we even saw the dolphins a couple different times. Would certainly stay at this location again. A big thank you for the chocolates, they were delicious!

Spring vacation
The house was beautifully decorated and listing was accurate in this description. Location and parking was great. We loved the beach being just steps away. The kitchen was one of the best stocked kitchens we’ve ever seen. We contacted management prior to our stay about being able to get in the house a little earlier since the property was not rented the week prior to our stay according to the calendar, but was turned down due to cleaning and maintenance. It was disappointing when we arrived because the house was not as clean as it should have been. Example: floors were very sandy and sand on the mattress protector.

Wonderful place to stay. We will come back.
The location and beach are amazing. The property fit our three families well. It was equipped with all the kitchen items you need, and each shelf is clearly labeled to show you where to put everything back. It has beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and buckets (which we used to find black shark teeth). Each floor even has a retractable baby gate, which we needed. The loft bedroom does not have a door, so someone will have to be willing to have that arrangement. The couch and loveseat and the dining table area are a bit small for the size group we had. The place is well-maintained and well-stocked. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay amd we would love to come back.

Nice, but room for improvement
I’ve stayed at this duplex for 8+ years, but this is the first time on this side of the property. Property was very well decorated and property manager was amazing and very responsive! Everything and I mean everything had a label. The beds were the most uncomfortable beds we’ve every experienced at this property. They had bed covers that felt like sleeping on trash bags. This was the consensus for every person who stayed with us. When spending almost 6k for a week at the beach, I would like to have a comfortable night sleep. Was shocked to experience this due to how beautiful tidy the property was.
