JoJo's Maison

Overall, we were pleased. The house has a rustic vibe, but it is roomy and well-appointed beyond the basics. The weather was outstanding, the location to the beach was convenient. There is construction right across the street, and they are on the job site at 7:30 am, but not on the weekend. This will not be forever, however. TideLife Rental personnel are so easy to work with! I will always call them first!

Great location just a short 2 min walk to beach. House had everything we needed and has a nice layout with large outdoor areas. Tidelife was very helpful and made the rental process easy.

We had a wonderful trip and loved staying at Jojo's! The house and set-up are a perfect beach house, including an amazing downstairs/outdoor shower and clean up area which were great for all of us, including the 4 small children we had with us. The house itself is not updated, so don't be expecting the Ritz, but was well appointed and had everything we needed, including wonderful deck and outdoor space, and additional screened deck with hammock. We were two families with 4 children under 3 years old and the layout was really a plus because the bedrooms were in the back of the house, away from the main living area, allowing everyone privacy and quiet. The location and amenities alone were also fantastic, you are right across the street from the beach and a few minute walk to the pools, beach club and restaurants - all made even more easily accessible by the golf cart available with the home rental. The only couple of things we didn't love was having to travel 20 minutes out of the way (40 minutes round trip) to pick up the keys, which after a long travel day, is less than ideal; and the EXTENSIVE reading the was required by TideLife before check-in. I don’t know that I’ve ever been through a more cumbersome reservation and check-in preparation process. All that to say, we will definitely consider staying here again!

Rather rustic --- but very nice place to stay. Great location . Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space in the home. Great place for a pet to accompany the family.

This is a negative review on TideLife rentals, not the JoJo.

We rented a villa for a wedding from TideLife, a company suggested to us on the Bride and Groom's wedding website. Three weeks before our stay, TideLife informed us that the villa was not available and they'd give us a house instead. It was unfortunate because the villa was perfectly located to the wedding festivities, but the house was beautiful, so we were understanding. But upon our arrival, we found that TideLife gave us an option (the JoJo) that was SIGNIFICANTLY lower in standard than the original villa! There was no communication from TideLife about the swap, as if we wouldn't tell the difference. When I confronted TideLife about it, they said that the original house given wasn't available (okay, that's fine) and JoJo had better amenities and closer to the beach (none of which were true). She also apologized for the "confusion". There is no confusion when someone lies to you.

The JoJo was just fine, but we were expecting a beautiful house. We probably would have been understanding had we known beforehand, but we felt mislead and taken advantage of, which is completely unacceptable.

Finally, we paid extra for temporary beach club access and embarrassingly found that no we did not have a membership, which was the cherry on our sundae!

A partial refund would have been satisfactory, but TideLife said no, despite our unhappiness. BUT, they are sorry...Gee, thanks. I am severely disappointed in my experience and how we were treated as customers. I will not be using them again, nor will I tell my friends to trust them with their vacations at Debordieu.

House was perfect for us. Really enjoyed the screen porch and expansive deck. Very close to beach. Will stay again.

This house is great for a family vacation. The screened porch is great and the great room with windows all around was our favorite place to hang out. The beach is right across the street!
