Family vacation

Location perfect! Overall could use updates, paint and minor repairs but did not take away from our enjoyment. One negative. Could use more towels . Only 2 per bathroom so we had to do laundry often

The view was great, the house needed some cleaning and repair work done while staying there and the bar stools were horrible and they were asked to take them out for safety reasons and the back stairs had to be repaired for safety. We also had to spray for ants and roaches underneath the sink. The rug underneath the table needs to be cleaned and we also had to have the benches to the table fixed before using them. There wasn’t enough towels in the bathrooms for the adults, other than that we still enjoyed the beach and the weather was perfect. Thank you,Peggy Bennett

Great option!

House shows wear and tear, but I would stay here again. We had a small problem with a fan that they fixed right away. Great location with not many people around on the beach which is nice as we got to spread out! Beds were extremely comfortable

Large home on beach

We stay at several vrbo’s for vacation every Christmas. This home was the right size for 12 of us. Wasn’t as clean as it could have been and had several issues that needed fixed. Dryer quit working on us and the property maintenance was there immediately and had it fixed. No problems with the property management.
