House is very roomy but there are stairs everywhere. Our group enjoyed the living area with the kitchen the best. House has plenty of space for large groups. Nice pool and a short walk to the beach.

The house was large enough to accommodate our family and the location was great!
The location is perfect. Just a short walk from the beach and minutes away from local attractions. We had three families staying together and we had plenty of room.

The neighborhood was very nice and just a quick walk across the street to a private beach. The house was really large and laid out for a lot of privacy with tons of bathrooms! Some of the furniture could be updated but overall it was nicely appointed and clean. We would definitely stay there again!
We have a big family and found this beautiful but practical palace by the sea! Everyone felt refreshed by our vacation and we plan to make it an annual occasion! Very rare to find such a large yet simple vacation rental … and pet friendly❤️

Unique layout of house worked for our family get together.
The house was perfect for our family. It was clean and spacious and very close to the beach. The pool was clean and there was plenty of seating and equipment to use at the pool and beach. The staff was responsive when we had a need. We would definitely return.
I would give this place a 5 if the property managers were more scrutinized with the cleaning crew. The house is not cleaned properly. Cleanliness is the number one complain in almost all reviews.
When i drove up, the grass wasnt cut and the garbage cans were full of trash. One call and the trash was picked up. After that, everything was great. The house was very spacious. Inside was clean. The beds were comfortable. I would definitely stay again

Beware!
The property was spacious, pool was great. The bunk beds do not have rails! My granddaughter fell off the top bunk and got a concussion and broke her clavicle. We encountered cockroaches and ants.
House is in a great location - super close to beach access. Kitchen is huge and perfect for a big group (would be good to get a can opener though). Inside of house is a unique layout - be ready for lots of stairs 😂. House was clean when we arrived. The outside could use a power washing and some paint. Overall would recommend.
We experienced ants, roaches and dead bugs stuck to walls on the front door landing. The cleanliness was adequate but unsightly rusted air vents should get a fresh spray paint. We never could figure out the pool light and all the ping paddles were broken with 2 usable balls. Nothing a trip to Target couldn’t fix and I left the balls for the next guest but took the paddles I bought. The wagon would have been an excellent addition to our beach trips if not for the completely flat and gashed tire. I’m not sure I would rent this house again just because I have foot problems that are exasperated by stairs. One more excellent thing about this house was the amount of full bathrooms, that was definitely one of the best things besides the proximity to the beach.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Needs updated post
The air conditioning went out not due to doors being open but loose wires at the thermostat. My husband figured out. There was not a fire pit. Windows very dirty at check in. My husband cleaned those the very next morning. Holes in walls and doors. The door to a bedroom would not close due to falling off hinges.

If I could give this 3.5 stars I would because I don’t feel like 3 is fair. Top points to this home are LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! The walk to the beach is a breeze & it is a short drive to all major restaurants/bars etc. The house comes decently stocked with kitchen supplies and also about 7 beach chairs a tent and a wagon (no one has mentioned this previously and we ended up renting chairs prior to arrival and did not use). This house is also huge. It is great for large groups and everyone can essentially have their own space! It was about 50:50 on bed comfortability but I felt like this was to be expected in a vacation home. As previously mentioned in other reviews if you are not comfortable with stairs this is not the house for you! You have to take the stairs to get anywhere in the home, but this was not an issue for our group!
Our only issues really was the house was not very clean. There were stains on the sheets and some of them looks as if they hadn’t been washed. The counter tops and other surfaces of the home were also sticky upon arrival. The WiFi also never worked for us.
Overall this was a great place to stay and we thoroughly enjoyed our girls weekend!

Everything was perfect. All the shopping stores are close by, the beach is literally across the street. It was cleaned to perfection. If we need help they always respond freak fast. Thank you so much.
