When we first arrived at coastline Haven, we were a little taken back. It does look a little rundown on the outside and we did have some initial complaints, including the fire pit was just an overgrown area with a gas fire pit there the screens on the back porch were all ripped and broken, and it was impossible to walk on the path from the house to the beach however, you could easily use the path right next to the house, which is the public beach access. Once we did go into the house, however it was exactly as expected. The whole house was in perfect condition so much room. The rooms were all exactly as expected. The kitchen is beautiful. The back balcony overlooking the beach is gorgeous and a perfect place to relax. My two favorite parts of the house actually are the ice machine on the second floor by the laundry, which is so convenient and we used it constantly as well as the elevator such an amazing thing to have now of course at first the elevator wasn’t working, but that along with everything else we complained about was fixed in short order. The hosts were so great to work with responded so quickly to my texts and did everything we asked and more to have the Home in perfect condition, even replacing the screens and completely cutting all the grass and weeds by the beach path to make it very accessible they even put a beautiful string lights in the backyard at one of our suggestions I would 100% stay with them again highly recommend

The house was absolutely perfect. It handled 14 people easily with 8 bedrooms - all with private bathrooms. The amenities were outstanding, especially the pool, swim up bar, theater room and game tables. The kitchen was a chefs dream - double oven and double dishwashers! LuxStay was in touch regularly to ensure everything was perfect. I highly recommend staying with them!

I’vr stayed at probably 20 separate condos at snowshoe and this is my favorite. Looks out right over the Ballhooter Lift. Remodeled quite nicely. I really like the two beds in the bedroom for extra sleeping space. High quality cookware/ utensils. Definitely coming back!
