Great location

Short walk across street to beach. Less than 10 min bike ride to Seaside. Drove 10 min to the Big Chill Rosemary to eat. Spacious master room and beautiful sitting area on deck. Height of bunkbeds in guest room gives lots privacy. Very comfortable and spacious house for 6 people.

Excellent stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: We loved everything about our stay - the house, the neighborhood, the beach access, the pool! There was plenty of space to spread out. The only thing I would caution is that the top bunk bed is very high compared to normal bunk beds and is not easily accessible for younger kids - even my 10-year-old was nervous up there. Other than that the house had everything you could need. It was an easy walk to the beach and pool.

Memories made ✅

Such a cute house, recently updated, clean, and in great condition. We liked the layout, with all bedrooms upstairs (beds were very comfortable) and an awesome upper screened porch. Having three full baths would have made life easier with four coed teens, but we managed fine aside from some minor inconvenience. The downstairs is spacious and we never felt crowded. All appliances worked great, and the back patio with fire pit was fun for s’mores and just hanging out. The location was perfect for us. It’s a quick walk to the beach and a short bike ride to Seaside. The kitchen could use more knives for food prep (we only found a couple steak knives), more airtight containers for cut up fruit and leftovers, and some serving trays. Overall this is an amazing rental and we would definitely stay here again!

Could have been better

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed the location - we had two issues that we had two issues that cause us pause in returning - one we had to go and buy our own dust pan and mop to clean the floors ... the house was not clean - we have three young kids and this caused us some level of frustration to deal with. Additionally, we were disappointed with the grill - the grill never got hot enough to use.
Response from VrboOwner on 13 November 2023
Joseph, thank you so much for your feedback regarding your stay at Making Memories! We hate to hear that you did not thoroughly enjoy your stay with us! We always try to rectify any issues during our guests stay, but we can only do so if we are made aware of the issues. We can always supply you with essentials such as a dustpan or mop, if there is not one at the home. We do apologize for the grill not heating up well enough. We do hope despite the issues you faced during your stay that you were able to enjoy yourself. We hope to welcome you back again soon for more fun in the sun! Warm regards, Benchmark Management
