Had a great time.

Overall property was as pictured and met expectations. Couldn’t figure out how to get the dock lights to work but also didn’t ask. Caught several keeper flounder off the dock and a variety of small fish and crabs for the kids. Would definitely return.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay the house is beautiful the pool and bay are amazing. We had some maintenance issues and the bed broke in the master. The toilet from master to living room leaked and we lost a spot to sit. They came and fixed the bed with a few screws but the very next night it broke again. The dripping onto the couch didn’t get resolved while we were there they were coming as we were leaving at checkout time. Everything else was absolutely amazing and such a beautiful place to stay and be. Even with issues we’d go back

Pleased with home

House was clean, it was a nice location. Pool was cleaned right away when called. It was nothing bad where we couldn’t use it till they came. We enjoyed the home, AC worked very well. We enjoyed the pier for fishing and swam while we were there. I wish they provided trash bags but we bought some. I would rent there again.

The house has a few maintenance issues that should be addressed. The balcony railings on the top floor are in need of repairs. There were a few times after showers were taken that water leaked onto the floor below. We also had issues with the refrigerator in the main kitchen, it would stop working and the inside temperature would begin to rise and the food would start to warm up and then after a length of time it would start working again. Even with the issues mentioned above we did enjoy our stay, the pool was absolutely wonderful which everyone enjoyed immensely.

Comfy beds, pool needed cleaned

The property was clean and as advertised. It was a short drive to get to any restaurants or the beach. Our only issue was the cleanliness of the pool. It was green and clouded the day we arrived. After several attempts to have someone out to clean it, they arrived on our 3 day of our stay. They did improve the look of the water enough for us to enjoy the pool for the rest of our stay; however, it was never clear enough to see the bottom of the pool. We enjoyed doing several things around town and cooking dinner back at the house. We had a wonderful stay!
