We had a great time. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook large family dinners, decor was superb and the views were fabulous. The short walk to the beach from the house was magic!

We had a great week. We have rented many beach houses and this one was well maintained and very well stocked with necessities and extras.

Shore Beats Work was at one time a very lovely beach house. However the maintenance of this house has not kept up with its use. The furniture in the living room and screened in porch has very dirty and stained slip covers. Slip covers are there to wash and or replace. Bugs were running rampant in the house , a service is needed to exterminate the house. The floors were dirty mostly in the main bathroom. Sand was still in the chest of drawers in the master bedroom.The house is a lovely home and deserves more attention. The kitchen has everything you need including a 8 burner gas oven and beautiful subzero. The smaller of the two golf carts had a flat tire when we arrived but the rental office has it repaired that same morning.The view and location to the beach is perfect!

Thank you for your feedback. I apologize you all were not happy with the maintenance of the property, keep in mind, we would have gladly sent out our housekeeping crew to correct any issues you had. This property is on a regular exterminating program, but we will most definitely have the technician go by to check on the house, thank you. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you back on the island soon. Thank you!

We had a great time during our week's vacation at Shore Beats Work. The location was gorgeous and the house was very nice. We would definitely stay at the property again, as long as some issues that we encountered are addressed.When we arrived the property wasn't as clean as we would have liked, which did not make us feel very comfortable with four young kids. As mentioned in a previous review, the water in the shower goes from freezing to dangerously hot. Additionally, the ice makers were not functioning properly and one of the dishwashers. Finally, the golf carts are a little old and could use an upgrade.With these updates the house would be a great place to stay.

We appreciate your review and feedback! We agree, Shore Beats Work is absolutely beautiful and you can't beat the location! I apologize you didn't feel the house was cleaned properly, we would have gladly had housekeeping return to correct the areas you were concerned about. Thank you for your feedback on the golf carts, we will share with the owners. We have cleaned the flow switch on the tank less water heater, and we are having our maintenance crew and owner look over the extra ice maker and 2nd dishwasher issues. We hope to see you back at Shore Beats Work soon!!

Reviewer Comments:
Beautiful view, very nice home and well furnished, amazing kitchen- perfect for multiple families sharing meals.Recommendations for the home owner: 1) The mattresses in both the downstairs master and the upstairs bedroom with en suite bath are terrible. That's an easy fix.2) Something is wrong with the hot water system- it goes from scalding hot to freezing without ever moving the shower handle for adjustment. This occurred in all of the showers so it is something with the system.If these items were corrected, it would have been 5 star all around. I don't know that we would book again unless we knew those items were corrected since it is a premium property in cost and description.
