LaborDayVacay
Annual Labor Day vacation with family is always a success when using VRBO, Are We there Yet home was Exactly what we needed! Just steps away from the Sand & Beach, woke up to a beautiful view & got to enjoy our coffee on the home balcony right outside our bedroom! Home was fully equipped and we cooked daily. We also loved that the home was on a private property & kept the beach very clean and secluded from tourist.

Perfect Beach Getaway
Karen communicated with us clearly between booking and check in. It’s in the perfect location to the beach. It was perfect for my bridesmaids and family during my wedding (as the walkover is directly next door) Check out was early, but other than that- it was a great stay!

Peaceful week
We have always enjoyed Are we there yet but with the updates, like the bedding and refrigerator. But no DVD player, no local channels that we could find so we got into Netflix. Overall much better than our last stay there.

Outstanding
We have stayed in this house several times before and the upgrades that have been made are excellent, both in the main and guest houses. My wife was particularly impressed that many nonperishable kitchen staples were provided. Karen Sandel was great to deal with as the property manager. Highly recommend both her and the property.

Rough around the edges. Needs TLC. Pricey for what you get.
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: In general everything worked. As my granddaughter put it when she first walked in the house is in “vintage” condition. Exterior is very weather worn. The stucco needs serious maintenance. The hurricane shutters have rusted thru their housings. The boardwalk is very “splintery”. No bare feet!!

Always Great House
Karen was great to work with. We’ve stayed here 8 or 9 times in past 15 years and love the house and layout. We normally have at least 2 of our children so it’s very roomy. They have fixed the beach chair setups but for 3 days our chairs were 150’ from our house. We ask the beach service guys to resolve it and they did 3 days later. But this is a new group now so they’re getting it figured out. This has little to do with Are We There Yet but The other thing, you can’t check in until 4pm and it’s been that way for several years now but check out keeps moving up and now it’s 9 am. Just be aware of the fine print 😕 As for the property, the owners have made some updates and I’m sure they’re working on some more. It’s still one of my favorite homes to stay in. Also know another big house is going up next door between the house and Walk-over. Didn’t bother us but it surprised us.

Fabulous Home Directly on the Gulf of Mexico
Our family stayed in "Are We There Yet" for one week in September, 2017. It is an amazing home that is beautifully decorated and best of all, it is located directly on the beach. We had never been to the Emerald Coast; the sand and the water are gorgeous! The owner has attended to every detail: plenty of towels, beach floats, grill, cooking utensils, silverware, TV's, elevator, pots and pans...even a wine cork! We didn't have to worry about anything. There is plenty of space and two of the bedrooms on the third floor open up to a beautiful balcony with porch furniture overlooking the beach, perfect for reading a book or watching the sunset! There is also a cute bedroom on the second floor with twin beds with a TV sitting area across the hall with a wet bar. All of the bedrooms have their own bathroom! The second floor also has a gorgeous balcony overlooking the beach. It's perfect for dining outside or you can dine inside in the living area. There is an enormous dining room table that I'm pretty sure would seat at least 14 people! We had our own private walkway to the beach with an outside shower to wash away the sand. Best yet, when we entered the home from the walkway, there was a large bathroom with a walk-in shower right next to the laundry room. The guest house is perfect for a couple with small children or if you just need a quiet space for an afternoon nap. It is fully equipped with a kitchen, living area, and washer dryer, as well. Every morning a gentleman named Kyle set up our 4 cushioned beach chairs and umbrellas that were included in the cost of the rental. It was perfect! Our family had a wonderful and relaxing vacation! Karen, the rental agent, was amazing! She was friendly, helpful and communicated everything that we needed to know in order for us to have a great vacation. We were so sad when our vacation was over! The only thing that could have made our vacation better would have been to book it for two weeks instead of one!!!! Are We There Yet is an experience of a lifetime!!!
