Review of Riders in the Sun

JOHN D. from Birmingham, AL United States
Jul 2022

We absolutely loved the house. We've been to several other 6 bedroom homes over the last 8 years, but this was the best one yet.Th eonly disadvantage was the walk to the beach. We ended up wading through Eastern lake to get to the beach. It wasn't terrible. Our preference would have been to be directly on the beach. But overall, most of our family thought this was the best summer trip ever..

Manager Response

John, we are thrilled to hear you had a nice stay at Riders in the Sun. From the beautiful interior décor and design to the great outdoor space and private pool, Riders in the Sun is the perfect home for a relaxing stay. The closest access to Riders in the Sun is the Eastern Lake access. Eastern Lake’s outflow grows depending on the amount of rain we get (which has been quite a bit this summer season). If you prefer to use a different beach access, the Ramsgate beach access is a five-minute walk away. Let us know when you're ready to return - we would love to welcome you back soon!

House was perfect! Kitchen had everything, plenty of space for everyone. Loved all the porches offered with the house and the ocean view! The bikes and kayak included with the house were fun to have as well!

Manager Response

Julie, we are so happy to hear you had a nice stay at Riders in the Sun. We agree, this home is perfect! From the location just steps to the beach and Eastern lake to the private pool and decks with Gulf views, this home is hard to beat. We are glad to hear you took advantage of the great location. Come back and drink in the views with us again soon!

Beautiful Home

Clair P. from Nashville, TN United States
Oct 2021

Pros: The home was extremely well appointed. We all said multiple times how well stocked the house was. We have never stayed at a house that our chef brother didn't complain about something being missing from the kitchen. Not this time! There were games for the kids, there were extra beach chairs, there were pool floats, the list goes on! Thank you for all of the thoughtful touches. Our group really appreciated it. We had an issue with the 2nd floor AC unit and they had someone out to check on it within the hour. NEVER have we received that kind of service. The sonos system was a huge surprise. We're a big music family and that was a bonus. Also the giant benches for the dinner table were PERFECT! We could all sit down for a meal together (with room to spare for our puzzle). Usually we have to take shifts there are so many of us.Cons: You do have to cross Eastern Lake for the closest beach access. Some of our group didn't mind, but some did. Since we used that access point, we never used the complimentary beach set up. The couch in the main living room was bizarre. So were the carpet tiles. For the older portion of our group it was hard to get up and, once sitting, there was no neck support. As the other reviews noted, there really is not a door on the bunk room, nor are there rails on the bunk beds. We could've really used those beds. ALSO-if your family is like ours, we always shove a pack-n-play in a closet. There are literally no closets big enough for a pack n play. Luckily we packed our Slumberpods in case. Ultimately we had an excellent trip and are so grateful to have spent it at your beautiful home. Thank you!!

Manager Response

Thank you Clair, for your great feedback! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your time at Riders in the Sun. This beautiful home is perfect for large families, it sleeps up to 18! The kitchen is perfectly equipped and the extra long dinging table allows for everyone to sit and enjoy their meals together. The home also has 2 outdoor grills! One outside of the living room and the second right by the pool. This way everyone can stay together and continuing enjoying their time. Riders in the Sun is the perfect home for guests of all ages. The home has a beautiful large pool right on site and it's only one street away from the beach! The owner provides 6 complimentary backpack beach chairs, which makes it a lot easier to get over to the beach. We appreciate your feedback on the living room couch and the recommendation on installing bunk bed rails. We will be working on installing rails during the off season. We apologize if non of the different sized closets, were not large enough for your pack n play. Our Royal Destinations Maintenance team works very hard to address any issues our guests encounter, within a timely matter. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to assist! After a long day, Riders in the Sun has a perfect view of the sunset right on their rooftop deck! Thank you for the great review! We hope to see you again soon, at Riders in the Sun!

Wonderful Beach Home

A Guest from Ponte Vedra, FL United States
Sep 2021

I stayed here with 14 family members, ranging in age from 70 years to 7 months. We all had a wonderful time in this gorgeous home! It had enough space for everyone to have their own area for privacy and quiet time. The beautiful living room/dining room/kitchen area was perfect for our whole family to gather. The well-equipped kitchen had more than enough dishes, silverware, cooking utensils, and appliances for all of our cooking needs. The pool provided hours of fun for the kids and there were plenty of pool toys/floats at the house to keep them entertained. The house included several beach chairs, a beach wagon, and umbrella. This was very helpful and made our trips to the beach quite pleasant. As other reviews stated, the beach access is a short walk from the house, but our family actually enjoyed crossing the small lake area to get to the beach. The kids were even able to float from the lake into the ocean on a pool float! The views of the gulf were spectacular and the multiple balconies were used by all family members. The house is beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean. We would most definitely recommend this home to any large group and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Manager Response

Thank you Susan, for the great review! We are so happy to hear you and your family enjoyed staying at Riders in the Sun. This beautiful home is located in Seagrove Beach just off of 30A! It's just a short walk from the beach and the pool onsite is absolutely beautiful! Like you mentioned the kitchen is perfectly equipped with anything guests may need to make delicious meals! This property also has 2 grills! One by the pool and one just outside the dining table, perfect for family dinners! Riders in the Sun also comes with 8 complementary bikes! Perfect for getting around 30A. Riders in the Sun is perfect for large family gatherings, we are glad to hear everyone in all age groups enjoyed their stay. Thank you for staying and for your 5 STAR review! We hope to see you again soon!

Spring Break Fun

A Guest from McKinney, TX United States
Mar 2021

We rented Riders in the Sun for 2 families. The home is in a great location. On a quite street, but close to shops and restaurants. Home is very well equipped and decorated. My only complaint is the fact that the upper bunks in the bunkroom and one of the other rooms doesn't have rails. We had several kids that wanted to sleep up there, but didn't feel comfortable with it. The beds are very high and unsafe. We doubled up kids on the regular beds because of this. A simple rail will solve that issue.

Manager Response

Hi and thank you so much for the feedback on Riders in the Sun! This home is the perfect size for multiple families, with plenty of living space and porches/decks. Seagrove beach has so much to offer. There is plenty of shopping and dining, while still being off of Highway 30A. The large, private pool is an added bonus, along with the complimentary bikes. Thank you the feedback on the bunk bed rails, we will certainly pass this along to the homeowner and get some rails installed after the Summer season. We hope you come and visit us again soon!

Great stay at Riders in the Sun

Liz Y. from Alpharetta, GA United States
Jan 2021

My loved the house for our family! The extra family room downstairs was perfect for when our six 20 something kids wanted to play games. The kitchen had everything you could ever need including plenty of plates and silverware, baking pans,mixing bowls and food storage containers. I highly recommend you bring/buy your own toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher soap and trash bags as we ran out of what was left quickly.

Manager Response

Hello and thank you so much for the nice review on Riders in the Sun! We love this spacious home and the gulf views. The private heated pool is a nice addition to the amenities this home has to offer. The homeowners enjoy using their kitchen as well and keep everything well stocked! Our setup provides a starter set of amenities for guests to get you through the first couple days of vacation. We hope it wasn't too much of an inconvenience. We would love to see you again next year!

Great house for large groups!

Malloree G. from Grapevine, TX United States
Jul 2020

We traveled to this home with a large group- 4 families, and it fit us all perfectly. The location to the beach is wonderful, the large, open family room and kitchen fit us all, & we loved the little area where the lake meets the ocean for the younger kids. We did have some issues with the home AC not working in the downstairs, the freezer randomly defrosting and ruining our groceries, & the home not being perfectly clean when we got there. In saying that, Royal Destinations was VERY prompt to fix our issues and send someone out to help. My only suggestion would be to have railings on the top bunks as that is a safety hazard for children & none of the children could utilize those beds so they wound up sleeping in the same room as the parents & to possibly put a curtain on the bunk room to make it a little more functional. Overall, we absolutely loved the house though and do plan to rebook for next summer!

Manager Response

Hello Mrs. G, and thank you so much for the feedback on Riders in the Sun. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the layout of the home and Seagrove Beach. We hope you understand that sometimes maintenance issues arise, but that we always try our best to repair items quickly and thoroughly. We are happy to hear that our team was prompt in repairing things. We apologize about the cleaning issues. We are always happy to send the cleaners back immediately if the home is not cleaned to your standards. Please call us in the future and we will make it right. Thank you for bringing the bunk bed rails and privacy to our attention. We will let the homeowner know and will add it to our off season projects list. We appreciate this type of feedback so we can plan to meet the expectations of our guests. Riders in the Sun is a fantastic home with plenty to offer. Located in the heart of Seagrove, this home also has a private pool, plenty of games for the kids, 8 adult bikes, and a well stocked kitchen. We look forward to seeing you again next year!!

Stunning House with Gulf View

A Guest from Little Rock, AR United States
Jun 2019

What an amazing house for our party of 12! We love, love, love this house. The pool area is magnificent and after the kiddos were asleep, we enjoyed late night conversations there. We were delighted to find pool and beach toys under the pool deck.There is also a baby crib, high chair, step stool and gate tucked away in the downstairs hall closet which was a wonderful and unexpected surprise. Inside conversations did travel so a door on the double bunk room would be appreciated! The kitchen area is outstanding and has a massive island for food prep plus a table that seats 16. Plenty of room for everyone! The large balcony has a stunning view of the ocean. We enjoyed the games and puzzles tucked away in the 3rd floor closet. Although the beach is directly across the street, the beach access is a bit of a walk. There are two beach access points but one is a dead end into the lake which requires either wadding through or paddling across if you have a boat. This access needs to be expanded across the lake to provide easier beach access. The second access point is at the other end of Eastern Lake Rd.The complimentary chair set up was appreciated, but was not convenient because it was located on the other side of the lake and east of the house. (Apparently this particular chair service is not contracted to put chairs in front of the house, so our chairs went unused.)We got a lot of enjoyment from the bikes which included accommodations for both adults and children. We had a couple of small maintenance issues but those were quickly addressed by the property Mgmt company. This is our 6th year to stay on 30A, and was by far the most wonderful house we’ve stayed in. We absolutely loved this house and plan to stay again next year!!

Manager Response

Thank you for the great review, Cheryl! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us—and we agree, the large kitchen and pool area are both truly amazing features that bring families together in this home. I apologize that you were having a difficult time utilizing your beach chair setup. Unfortunately, the beach laws prevent chair vendors from setting up in front of this home. We hope to host you again next year in Riders in the Sun!

Enjoyed our stay!

A Guest from Birmingham, AL United States
May 2019

The house was great! Close to the beach access and nice layout. Well stocked kitchen! The only thing I wish was more clear before we got there was that the small bunk “room” didn’t have a door. We were planning on putting a small child in there, but couldn’t because there was no door to keep out sound or action from the hall or rest of the house! Other than that we fully enjoyed our stay here!

Manager Response

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review! We apologize for the bunk room not having a door was an issue for you. Hopefully a lot of time was spent outside either by the private pool, or along the shores of our beautiful beach. We here at Royal Destinations would love for you and your family to come and stay with us again soon!
