Weekend Getaway

My husband and I really enjoy staying at the Oyster House, so much so that this was the second time we’ve rented this property. It’s the perfect location with a private pool and a golf cart, which is an added bonus. We will definitely be renting this unit again.

Would Stay Again!

The house, pool, golf cart & location to restaurants & the beach are great. House was clean & comfortable, yard was perfect for our little dogs, but wifi was horrible & we had no TV or streaming our entire last day. Had a couple issues with the golf cart but company was quick to come to us (at the beach!) & fix it. Would stay again.

Oyster House

The beautiful Oyster House is an amazing stay! It’s an incredible place with plenty of tastefully appointed and decorated nooks and crannies. We enjoyed all of the decks and outdoor spaces as well! It has a private pool perfect for kids play or a nice dip. We loved driving to the beach on the golf cart room enough for 6 people and your stuff! You can park it right on the amazing beach! We adored The Oyster House and want to return again soon!

Great stay!!

We loved the location, the arrangement of the house, and the outdoor area. We had a great time and really loved the house and tooling around in the golf cart. The small cocktail pool was an extra benefit. We did not experience any issues with the check-in, house, pool, or golf cart. Overall, I would recommend this house highly. Our two small doggies approved the house too and even learned how to climb the stairs during our stay.

Beautiful property

Beautiful home and immaculate pool. Internet non existent, coffee pot did not work, and we were never able to access the garage. Keypad to open house would stick, took several tries to open. Light under microwave was out, making it very dark trying to use cooktop. Addressed these deficiencies with management company. Morgan was very sweet but nothing was ever done to rectify problems. Won’t stay here again.

Short but sweet

Property is beautiful. I did not like the check in process. It was confusing. And could not figure out AC. Turns out it was broken. The repair man showed up quick and was very professional and nice. Anyway took a long time to cool house down. Then the next day house was hot again apparently elec company had work on the lines and power was off.

Location is perfect

The property is as described except the pool is much smaller than it looks. There are TWO bedrooms & the (3) bunkbeds are in the hallway upstairs, still roomy but no privacy. Excellent photography! It was clean. Kitchen was well stocked. We had everything we needed. WiFi was horrible if nonexistent. As a result no television in living area unless connected to my own hotspot which was frustrating since we had (2) kiddos with us. Very small backyard with artificial turf. Garage had everything needed for lots of fun & golf cart was excellent! Had beach chairs, sand toys & a canopy. Location is amazing! Walked to coffee shop every morning & sat on decks each night listening to live music from SipYard. 3 great outside sitting areas upstairs & down. Restaurants, bars, shopping & ice cream all close walking distance.

Very Disappointing Stay

We arrived to a stifling hot house and while someone came out to fix it, it was after 2am before it was cool enough for any sense of comfort. The following morning, we spent well over an hour trying to find the keys to the golf cart because the instructions said they were in a lockbox in the garage. There is NO lockbox and eventually we found the keys on a random shelf inside the house. This made us late to a reservation and meeting up with friends and really just set a sour note for the day. While the house is gorgeous and we had fun overall, the incidents mentioned above definitely did not sit well.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. Your feedback is very important to us, we rely on hearing from our guests to ensure we’re doing a great job. As you shared in your review, this was not the case for you and for this, we do apologize. Our customers are the heart of our business. We are so sorry the a/c stopped working before your arrival. It was working fine earlier in the day during cleaning and inspection of the home. I am so glad we were able to get the a/c company to the home right away for repairs to the unit being called out after midnight, and get it working properly for you. I am so sorry the golf cart keys were not where they should have been we have since installed a key chain hook where the keys will always be placed by our maintenance team during their pre inspection of the house from here on so situations like this dont arise again. We strive for 5 star reviews and We do hope you will give us another opportunity to earn your business.

House was very nice but needs attention with cleanliness and maintenance. Pretty disappointing.

Wifi was in and out, tvs not working, remotes were missing, lights out, grass not mowed, yard full of debris, smoke detectors missing, golf cart was left dirty and key hidden in the house that was found days later. Called office 3 times just to have call dropped with no response. Honestly I was very disappointed considering the price. House needs some attention and cleaning. I would not recommend to anyone considering our experience we had. The mattresses need to be replaced as well. Not a good experience. House has a ton of potential but the maintenance and cleaning was terrible.

James, Thank you for bringing all of these concerns to our attention. We have no record of you reaching out to our office during your stay, through VRBO, email or voicemail. The golf cart key location is included in the check in instructions and we would have been more than happy to address these concerns, had the office been notified. Our company stands behind the homes we service, and we severely apologize that it was not optimal during your stay.

Misleading listing

This is not a 3 bedroom property. The “3rd bedroom” is the hallway. The 2nd bedroom bed has the most uncomfortable mattress I have ever experienced. The upstairs is HOT! I did email about the AC and the management got back quickly. We only came in at night so I didn’t want to have to be stuck to our house for a day waiting for an AC man. But it’s definitely something that needs to be updated. The unit doesn’t seem big enough to cool the whole house. The “game room” is a garage. And the games looked broken down and not taken care of. All the photos make this look way better than it is. The pool is basically a hot tub and not usable past a certain point in the day. The location was wonderful and check in was easy. But at the price per night it is not worth it. WAY over priced for what you get.
