Great out-of-the-way house
12 of us rented this home August 2020. We got our key code about 5:30pm, so in advance of the 6pm check-in time. We had no power on the 2nd floor upon arrival and it was boiling hot on the 1st and 2nd floors. One of the smoke detectors was also beeping. We called the after-hours numbers, left a message and got a call back immediately. They helped us fix the problem quickly. The kitchen was well stocked although the coffee pot leaks slightly, but we made do. The air conditioner is set at 72 and you can't change it. The top 2 floors were cold, but the lower 2 floors were often very warm. It just couldn't keep up with the heat during the day. It got up to around 78 on those floors daily, but cooled down to 72 at night. The beds are hard as a rock and sheets are commercial type (very rough), but it wasn't that big of a problem. I should have brought my own sheets and maybe a mattress topper, that might have helped. I do wish they had curtains on the windows in the bedrooms as they get very bright very early and the blinds do nothing to keep the light out. The pool was awesome and we enjoyed it every day, although it really could do with a face-lift. My son loved the hot tub, even though it's rather old, and we think it has a leak as we had to add water everyday because the levels kept dropping and the hot tub cover is literally falling apart. But it works, which I guess is all that matters. The tiki hut was nice too and provided a couple stools in the shade. The kids enjoyed the pool table too. The walk to the beach was a bit of bear as the sandy path was beyond hot on your feet, even with flip flops on and it's a little steep to get over the dune so might be tough for older-adults or small children. Overall though, we had an awesome time. I would highly recommend this house and Sound or Surf Realty.
