House review

House was the perfect setup for our large group. The joined deck was awesome for us to interact and hang out with our friends next door. Communication with mgmt team was great as well.

Great Location but Come Prepared

We were a group of 26. 9 adults with 16 children. Overall we had a great time and wouldn't hesitate returning to this same home. People warned us that the beaches in this area weren't that good. We completely disagree and found the beaches were a lot of fun. The waves aren't huge but they are perfect for smaller children but still fun for teenagers. Out of 7 days the last two nights we were there had lots of mosquitos. The home wasn't prepared like other rentals homes we have stayed in. There wasn't any shampoo, hand soap, dish soap, dish washing detergent or laundry detergent. There was one roll of toilet paper for each bathroom. We went out and purchased these supplies when we arrived. There were a good number of towels but we were glad we brought our own beach towels. The air conditioner kept the home comfortable while we were there.

Solid place to stay.

It wasn't luxurious, but it wasn't bad by any means. It was overall a clean, relatively well maintained house. The A/C struggled a bit to keep the place cool, but I wasn't terribly surprised by that.

Not as the pictures show

Thanksgiving 10days-Even tho we enjoyed our time there w family & friends Negatives: The check in was difficult, lock box battery was dead and we had to wait for them to come w a key (after a long morning of packing and a 4 1/2 hr drive-we were tired) Management had good communication. The house smelled musty, the oven and oven drawers were dirty. I had to tear apart the dishwasher and clean it out & run a hot wash w vinegar for it to wash. Did this 2x and then called maintenance. The fridges leaked and we used a bowl to catch condensation. The BIG 👎: there was a leak in the roof in the MasterBedroom and thank God I had moved my laptop from that couch. There was a 5gal catch bucket there the whole trip 👎...the porch gates were broken, we had to jerry-rig them. Inside there needs some items that should be fixed cosmetic. Positives: Pre-booking and booking was easy. Lots of communication. Polite management co, Pets accepted, Kitchen was fully stocked w utensils and serving dishes, Pantry space was large, furniture was comfortable, house was as clean as it was going to get. Plenty of rooms, beds and LOTS of seating. Beds were Comphy, Walkway to the beach was PERFECT, we were lucky & neighbors were nice.

I'm so sorry for any inconveniences you experienced during your stay! :'( This owner works so hard to provide the most amazing beach house experience. She takes it very seriously. With this being said she will take the information you were so kind and thoughtful to provide and work to make it better. Thank You for also providing positive feedback as well. So many times the review system just does not work that way. We are so proud to have done our job as a property manager and provide a good rental experience for you. We try very hard to communicate well and be available when needed. Please come back soon!

Not Quite What We Expected

The property was cleaner when we left it than when we arrived. There was cracker pieces on the kitchen floor and sand in/on the bedspreads. I was not told we would have to put the sheets on the bed ourselves. I was told I paid for a bedding package and I thought that meant the sheets would be on the beds. Also, the water is horrible throughout the house. It comes out and yellow and smells very badly. We had no choice but to shower in that water! Thankfully I brought bottled water to drink. The two refrigerators were great to have, except everything in them ended up soaking wet in a puddle in the fridge. We did not change the temp in the fridge. It was set on 4 when we arrived. The beach and the distance to it was fantastic! Just not sure we will rent this same location next year.
