Beautiful location. Would like to see a couple updates, especially windows facing the water. They got condensation between the panes and couldn't see the gulf on the cold mornings.

Sub par property and terrible property management
Overall this property has the BARE minimum to get by- I would never recommend this property. We called everyday for 4 days about the broken fridge/freezer. Calls were left unanswered and the slow to respond. Finally the fridge was replaced on the 6th day -after we had to throw away over six hundred dollars of spoiled fish, dairy and meat. After the property managers received my emails and calls there was no response for our loss. The next guests will get a NEW fridge as well as: - cockroaches (in the kitchen and basement) soo many in the basement room, we couldn’t use it. - broken microwave -broken toaster - dirty comforters (we had to wash to use) -mold growing in the bathrooms with caulk trying to hide the growth - lack of (and no) pillowcases and towels - main door doesn’t close all the way- constant loss of AC - leak on the second floor, causing the floorboard to break and pucker- watch out or get a splinter! Small basic comforts were missing that all added up to an uncomfortable stay (including burnt out bulbs, leaky faucets, loose banasters,etc) Everything is terribly dated, dirty and not worth your money. PROs - has a pool as stated Keep browsing and find something better for your family.

This review is not exactly fair. Upon arrival refrigerators take time to cool new items. We sent a staff to the property, on the same day of your arrival and found the refrigerator to be cooling. and explained that it takes time to cool new items. He also brought bags of ice as requested just in case you needed them. Within 24 hours of arrival we had an Appliance repair person out, and they found NO issues with the refrigerator. Explaining that the refrigerator was packed full and would not cool quickly... We received multiple calls after this and we ended up replacing the refrigerator due to your insistence that it was not cooling. A rep went by on the install and did check the old refrigerator and again did not find issues with the refrigerator. We replaced a working appliance to try to make you happy, and we do feel like we immediately offered support as we had maintenance and an appliance repair specialist on site within a day of your arrival. Then we worked to make you happy even replacing a working appliance. Please note NONE of the other issues were mentioned with the calls we had between each other and meetings we had on site. The good news is, the property now has a new refrigerator!

In need of repairs. Over priced
Spindle on stairs broken. Screws came out of bed footboard and fell off. Kitchen chair leg was broken and glued back on but came off when moved. Back door wouldnt stay shut. Largest roaches i have every seen. I killed five . Showers were dangerous . Slippery. Daughter in law feel . Ice maker was locked and could not get unlocked.Down stairs bedroom has soft spot in floor by deck door.Dryer was noisey and kept pinching clothes and tearing or leaving black marks.Upstairs air conditioner went out but Chandler was a lot of help got someone there and repaired in a few hours. He was very helpful at that and checking in. I have rented a lot of vacation homes over the years thru vrbo and for what i paid for this one it should have been in better shape. Very disappointed and do not recommend staying there.

Quick Beach Vacation
We had a great trip. The house has tons of room. Right on the beach. Great spot for kids with the pool and quick beach access.

Amazing location
This place location was amazing! Spacious place with a communal pool that you share with the next duplex unit. The place wasn’t as clean as expected, some of the doors were hard up to open, and was missing some extra amenities like extra toilet and paper towel roll, dish sponge, and bowls which is why the 4 stars rating. But being beachfront was super convenient and nice to have a private beach space. Hop to the beach then back to the pool with a shower to rinse off the sand! Plenty of parking and can fit like 4-5 cars.

Overall Satisfied but Updates Would Be Beneficial
The property overall worked well for our group. This was a great location and close to everything we needed. Pool was great for our kiddos since it was 3 ft deep across the entire length of the pool. Access to the beach was close and easy. We were situated in a spot where people staying across the road liked to cross over to the beach so there was ample pedestrian traffic around the pool area. Cleanliness overall was good. We did have a few roaches so it was important to take out the trash daily. The property could use some updating and a little more attention to detail when it is being turned over from one group to the next. For example, the upstairs bathroom had a total of 5 lightbulbs - only 2 worked. The AC vent leaked condensation so the floor under it had water damage and the boards needed to be replaced. I could only figure out how to get one channel on the TV in one of the bedrooms. The kitchen could use a few new appliances, cookware, and utensils. There was ample wear and tear simply due to probably the number of guests staying in the property. We did stay at the end of the summer so these items may be addressed in the offseason. Overall the stay went well. However, I don't know if I will stay at the property again.
