Great location! Amazing house with pool!

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!

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.

Great location!

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.

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.

Thank you for your feedback, Isabel. We understand that cleanliness is of utmost importance and we deeply regret that the home was not up to your expectations upon arrival.

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.

Few steps to beach-100’s steps in house

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.
