8/10 Good

David F.

Great location with a lot of rooms

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property was in good condition overall, cleanliness was the only complaint as there was a couple of spider webs and found a couple of roaches. It is walking distance from the beach which is great and is spacy enough to fit the 14 people very comfortably. Got charged an extra 100 for "extra cleaning" whatever that means as we left all dishes clean and in fair condition. Communication with Starkey was spotless and they were very helpful in the process.

Lots of space, but needs lots of work

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Two families stayed here with plenty of space! The kitchen had everything we needed and came well stocked! The golf cart was immensely helpful for getting 7 kids to the beach! Unfortunately, this is where the positives end. During our stay, we experienced huge roaches, as well as cobwebs and spiders all over the ceiling. The downstairs toilet seat wasn’t even attached to the toilet and the bathroom vents dripped on us and all over the floor. In the upstairs bunk room, one of the top bunks had slats that were too small to hold the mattress, so the mattress fell through when one child climbed on it! We were very grateful no one was hurt, but this is dangerous and needs to be addressed. This could be a great place to stay, but it’s in need of an exterminator and important repairs. We would not stay here again.

Nice Home...needs shade

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed staying at the home. We quickly learned that on the 'yard' side of the house, where the picnic table is, that there is no shade and no breeze. We made the most of the situation and set up our dinner in the front of the home where the garage doors are. The home is nicely decorated and the indoor amenities were modern. The biggest issue aside from lack of shade, is that for a such a nice house in a nice location, there were a several dead roaches inside the home and the exterior of the house needed cleaning and a bit of updating. There was a bunch of dust & spider webs all over the outdoor furniture, much more than normal weathering. The exterior of the house appeared as if the house hadn't been rented in a while. Again, the house was nice, but the exterior needs a bit of extra cleaning and attention. For the price, I was a bit disappointed about the exterior and the roaches.I would stay here again and recommend this home, as long as the cleanliness of the home and updates to the exterior were made.

Great location for family vacation

Our family enjoyed staying at the Hook, Wine and Sinker. It was the perfect place for our extended family vacation. Walking distance to the beach, but the golf cart that is included in the rental made it even better. We look forward to staying here again.

Excellent beach home

Large, clean home with most amenities needed. The golf cart was a nice bonus. Property manager was not the most responsive when I had initial inquiries, but that was a small hiccup. Definitely recommend this beach house!
