What guests and hosts remember
These are real Airbnb guest comments about the lodging experience, cleanliness, responsiveness, and how easy Point Preserve makes a stay feel.
I enjoyed staying in condo B201. It was very clean and the staff was very responsive to my needs. I highly recommend the place. It is brand new and the atmosphere is great.
I highly recommend this location to anyone visiting the local areas. The location was clean and easy to access. I felt at home with the decor, bedding, and amenities. 10/10 stay.
Place was exactly what I was looking for. Only 8 minutes to the beach, very secluded and private, and very spacious. Will be staying again whenever I am back.
Great host and a beautiful home. Newly updated appliances, peaceful scenery, friendly neighbors, and a quiet stay overall. I would definitely book and request the same home again.
Our stay in Santa Rosa Beach was exceptional. The host was responsive and professional, the home was spotless and beautifully maintained, and the location near the beach and 30A made the experience seamless.
This was a wonderful place to stay. It was very clean, the multiple queen beds were great for our group, and Thomas was very responsive and accommodating.
