Hard to Beat this Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is absolutely fantastic with great views. A few steps away from the beach or just hang out on the deck with unobstructed views. Very comfortable home that was very relaxing to stay.

First time renting through a real estate company. The contract seemed daunting, but not too bad and the check in and check out process was very easy. Very nice beach house. Fair warning, the driveway is through some loose sand as it’s literally on the beach, but that’s why we booked it! Dryer was also missing the main knob so was unable to use, but everything else was fine.

Right on the Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: You can’t get closer to the beach! The house was very clean, beds were comfortable, appliances were all in working condition, the chairs on the deck were amazing! The bedrooms had built in bunks that would accommodate many guests. The downside is that if the weather is bad, there really wasn’t enough room for everyone to be inside comfortably. Most of the time when the weather is nice, everyone is in and out and this isn’t a problem. Overall, it was an amazing house and we had a wonderful time.

Family vacation

The shore house was amazing! The beds were comfy, the kitchen made for a good place to congregate and share stories of the beach and things we saw. We had a fantastic time and recommend to anyone wanting to get away! The location literally can’t be beat! Right on the beach!

The house is nice but the rental company does not include linens, not only are they extra, you have to put them on the bed when you get there? What kind of vacation is that?

Great location

The house was very clean and great location. Such a nice deck and view! We did not enjoy having to put sheets on seven beds when we arrived or having to unwrap and and put away all towels. This was a vacation and having to spend outer time doing house work was not what we anticipated. Also, there is a camera directly above the outdoor shower. That gave a creepy vibe- esp with teen girls in our party.

Great Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a wonderful stay. The house was as close to the beach as possible. It was clean and had a great layout that made is seem larger that it was. Especially liked the service and extras from Cobb Real Estate. Received a beach bag when we checked in and free DVD movies from a machine located outside their office.(Yes, I know DVDs are somewhat old school - however it was a nice extra.) Something that seemed odd but worked out well was that no sheets or towels were provided after summer. We chose to get these provided for an extra fee. This actully worked out great since these were all left in a large bag upon entering the property. Each sheet set, towel set, and kitchen towels were individually wrapped in cellophane. This made us feel like they were freshly washed and clean. This was our first rental from Cobb but it will not be the last.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
Pros: Right on the beach, views as far as the eye can see from the inside of home and large front deck. When checking in at Cobb, the office staff were very friendly! Large master bedroom and bathroom with a spacious shower. Games, books, and puzzles provided good rainy day activities. Plenty of covered parking. Plenty of linens provided. Cons: Communication was not the VRBO whatsoever which was confusing, so messages went unanswered. Cobb Realty is who would call or email. Manual check in process seems outdated. Couch desperately needs cleaning. Very dirty! Pots and pans were available but most had burnt bottoms and would not scrub clean. Front door didn’t lock and when it rained the water poured thru the crack, which must be a long term issue because the floor is soft just inside threshold. It has a lot of potential but is in need of TLC.
