The Weekender

We didnt want to leave! My son and I pretty much stayed on the 2nd story, and it was so comfortable. ( was just he and I) The childrens loft was adorable, if you have littles. We had everything we needed. The list that is provided on the things we may bring was helpful. (Such as aluminum foil for the oven)The neighborhood was peaceful..My son and I had a great time!

Nice place overall

It’s an older house and definitely has its quirks but we enjoyed it overall. The only real issue was the parking. It’s a long narrow drive and if you have multiple cars you have to move around and switch out. The beachbox people were really helpful.

Great stay!

We had a great stay. I let the property managers know that the cleaning could have been stepped up a bit. The place was older but we had a great stay. There was a bit of stale smell upon our entry however after the air was moving around it dissipated. The beds were a little creaky but they were comfy and the house had plenty of room for our larger group. Great location being close to everything but far enough that it was plenty quiet. Also loved that they accepted pets. Wished the fencing went all the way around the home for pets to roam freely but there was plenty of grass for our furry family so no complaints here. The pool was awesome and a great feature to have, even was nice and cool after some of the hottest days of summer. Overall we would definitely stay here again and are grateful they hosted us and our family.

My stay was horrible there was roaches everywhere they was in the fridge in the sofa The drain in the down stairs bathroom was horrible and there was no tvs in the rooms only the living room we reach out and the only repose we would get is they are trying to get a hold of the owners. We still have not heard anything back

it was just as imagined on the pictures, owner very frequently texted updating and all sorts of stuff. my only complaint was the upstairs bathroom but it wasn’t a surprise going into it since i had already seen the pictures and reviews. i will say that the bathroom sink did not work for some odd reason we tried everything to make it work but it didn’t. other than that the place was very nice and maybe only a couple minutes away from the beach everything was pretty nearby.

Wonderful Weekender

Great location, wonderful home, plenty of space for everyone. Nice backyard. Not too far, not to close to the beach if you have young children with you. Restaurants, stores, beach and beach rental equipment within a short drive. Definitely recommend "The Weekender".

Nice place to spend night before cruise

This place has a long parking area off the street. We just soent 1 night before heading out on a cruise. Everything "looked" clean, but iur socks were very dirty after walking around without shoes on. The staircase needs a good cleaning. Pool looks very nice but it was too cold to swim in Dec.

2 bath not 3

The house was ok. We only stayed 1 night. My only complaint was that the bathroom on the third floor was not useful. First of all it doesn’t have a door of any kind. 2nd the toilet is raised up so for a man to stand and pee he would have to be 7 feet tall but then he would not be able to stand in there because of the low ceiling. The ceiling in the shower was also very low. So it’s more like a 3 bedroom 2 bath house

Great for a quick stay

This property was not what we expected as the photos showed. The furniture is older and the beds downstairs very uncomfortable. The loft smelled as if it had water damage, and was unusable . Some of the doors need work, the ceiling was patched up badly in areas and poorly painted over. There is no dining room or tables to eat on. On a positive note the renters response was quick. Getting in to the property was very easy and their is lots of parking at a reasonable price . Management also responded and we were able to get a lost wallet back to the owner.

Terrible

The property had bugs, we had to get bug spray. There was a broken window on the door upstairs. We had to put a towel in the window to keep the flies out. There was stains on the couch upstairs. The couch downstairs had a molded smell. We had to spray lysol on the couch then spray freebreeze. The bedroom downstairs had no place to put your clothes because no drawers or hanging rack. The beds downstairs was very very uncomfortable.The bathroom downstairs had mold in the ceiling. One of the stool downstairs was broken and the rest was wobbly. Contact the renter company still waiting to see if they going to compensate us. It was a horrible experience I will not recommend this place

We had a nice stay

This property was just as advertised. Lots of beds and 2 kitchens. There were a few things I ddin't notice when booking...there is no table. If you want to eat as a group or play games, you are out of luck. There are barstools and plenty of counter space. Upstairs bathroom is great for kids, but super small and has no mirror. We had trouble with locking one of the doors, but the owner was very communicative and helped us troubleshoot. Overall it was a nice stay. We were a little disappionted that there was zero flexibility with late check out, but it was just as advertised.
