Great Family Vacation

The house was extremely nice. Only complaint was the floors were a little dirt but that is to be expected at a beach house. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. Everything was within walking distance so no need to drive much. We will for sure recommend this house to anyone.

Great House

Everything was perfect!! Check in was easy with the door code and no keys to keep up with at the beach. The house was clean and the enclosed garage was wonderful and secure. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful and the beach was it too far away. We would definitely stay there again the next time we go to the beach.

Great value

This was our second stay. Owners are super responsive and accommodating which is why we came back. It has been a few years between stays and house is starting to show some wear which is expected of a rental. Some fresh paint and new mattress in master would be great but overall very pleased and will definitely stay again.

Great location for beach access!

Was pleasantly surprised when I pulled up to the house, the location was very close to beach access and the home was way bigger than the pictures made it look. We could have walked to the beach but chose to drive and there is a convenient parking area right by the access point. There is also a nice gas station right across the residential street that had a few last minute necessities. Kitchen was one of the best stocked rentals we’ve been in for pots, pans, utensils, etc.

Beach House

Cute house but not being cleaned well enough. The towels were dingy and didn't look clean. The floors had not been swept and mopped.The floors were gritty. The fans had not been cleaned. They had dust around the edge. The edge of the coffee table had been chewed off by an animal. Cleaners are not doing there job.

Suggested improvements

There were dead cockroaches under furniture in at least 2 rooms, the white bathroom towels were stained and should be bleached, bedspread/coverings not laundered between guests, total sand in the back yard made it unusable, TV in living room would not connect to the Wi-Fi, had to be unplugged everytime we used it to “reset” it to find the Wifi, I messaged property manager and they got back to us later stating the Wi-Fi address which we already had, the main water pipe broke outside by driveway and we had to contact the utilities to help stop it flooding the side yard. We checked out early, but I had no idea how to let the cleaning people know this? This property needs more communication and cleaning/supplies. I would have cleaned up more, but the vacuum didn’t suck, and the old broom wouldn’t sweep up sand/hair either. I would have started laundry if there were some laundry pods.

Great location, great house

Great house with plenty of room. It was also in a great location within walking distance to the beach and gas station next door. Lots of fun things to do within walking distance or just a short drive. Check in was easy and house had everything you need as far as dishes and pots n pans. Microwave didn’t work and house wasn’t very clean. Bedding had dog hair all over it and there were mice. Other than that it’s a great house for a family trip.

Safety is a concern here

We stayed here for four nights and every night there will be cops and emergency vehicles on road. The sirens will wake you up. The Main Street is 100 feet away and most of the times you come out in night you will notice multiple police cars at a point. Definitely the safety of the place is a serious concern here. There is a strip club just quarter mile away. In regards to property the cleanliness is a big concern. Both bathroom shower curtains are filled with moss. Linens are not properly put on all beds. Biggest concern the property manager is not available most of the time. Highly over priced looking at the property and location with safety concerns.
