Overall it was a pleasant vacation!

In summary- it was a great place to stay. I wish that we could have checked in earlier than 4pm, and we had to be out of the house by 10am. An earlier check in and a later checkout would be nice moving forward. Would stay here again.

Susie Q was AMAZING

My group had an amazing time at Susie Q. Just steps away from the beach, close to a Handful of places to eat (walking distance) and the house itself was beautiful. The views from the top floor were amazing. The 2 separate kitchens and multiple rooms in different layouts made everyone I went with, very very happy! If I’m even in the area again, and with a larger group of people, Susie Q will be the place I look at first!

Lovely house

We enjoyed our stay at the house the only problem was the pool was dirty so we had no use of the pool or hot tub. Our first two days there we had some bad luck but we didn’t let it hurt our vacation. We had my handicap dad so the house was wheelchair accessible. Thanks for letting my family stay in your home! Also we bought our own grill because we didn’t want to be fined for there grill cleanliness lmbo ! Great Fourth of July

We must make mention that the warm pool and hot jacuzzi was the absolute highlight for the kiddos!!!! Mary and Greg, we thank you for being readily available during the Thanksgiving holiday.

Jacuzzi Issues

Your listing under "About the home" list a Private Pool and Jacuzzi - Never stated there would be an additional charge to use the Jacuzzi. I asked property manager to turn on and he did come and do so- told me there was a charge. I wasn't happy but accepted due to the fact that we all have back issues, and this was taken in consideration when booking that there was a jacuzzi. It worked that night and the next two days it did not work. I called to let him know it was not working, He said yes, I came and turned it off but never asked or told me. He did come and turn back on. I get a bill in the amount of 375.00 for the use. To me this was not communicated in your listing, and I should not have to pay it however I did log in to pay and there is nowhere for me to pay. Frustrating to say the least.
