We had a wonderful stay! The house was extremely clean and actually looked even better than the pictures. The location was ideal- very close to great restaurants and nightlife, while still being a quick trip to the beach. Highly recommend! Would stay agin

It's always a treat to hear a home looked even better in person than in the photos! We're so glad everything felt spotless and that the location gave you the best of both worlds, great restaurants and nightlife close by, with the beach just a quick trip away. The recommendation means a lot, and we'd love to welcome you back anytime.
I very clean, roomy and easy check in and out! Great location to everything in Port A.

The house was the perfect location, a few min from the beach, shopping and restaurants. Sat on the front deck and had a great view of the fireworks at the marina. The pool was like a hot tub and had no pool lights but other than that it was great! We just bought extra bags of ice for the pool to cool it down each day. Would definitely stay again

Great place to stay in old Town. It would be nice to have check in a little earlier and the landscapers should have mowed before we got there. The grass was really tall.Over all, I would highly recommend staying there.

This house is amazing. You have the perfect set up if you want to hang at the pool all day while cooking. You can also enjoy the AC if your looking for a movie day. Its close enough to all the shops but far enough out where you don't have to deal with all the traffic. This is our second year here and look forward to many more.

Robert, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the house to be the perfect setup for relaxing by the pool and cooking, as well as enjoying movie days in the AC. It’s great to know you appreciated the balance of being close to shops while still avoiding the traffic. We’re honored to have you back for the second year and look forward to hosting you again for many more!
Great home to vacation at. It’s in an ideal location. The backyard is key to this place. Has covered pool deck with plenty of outlets and shade. The entire property was fantastic and the group loved it. I will warn you, a home is being built next door so at times it can become loud or uncomfortable. Construction workers staring into the backyard as u swim, which new homeowners or guest will be able to do the same. The backyard will have no privacy in the next few months.

We are so happy that you enjoyed this amazing home! Glad the pool and yard worked out well for you. Wish there was something we could do about the construction and are glad you will had a great time.
We stayed here for a beach getaway on Memorial Day weekend. The home was very clean and decorated beautifully. We spent a lot of time enjoying the pool, and loved the fenced yard so our husky could enjoy the space with us. The amenities were very generous (full kitchen and laundry areas with clean appliances, plenty of linens, plus starter packs of essential toiletries and coffee). The air conditioner worked great, and we had plenty of hot water for showers even with five adults in our group.
This home is located just a few blocks from the main swimming beach, and is walking distance for lots of shops and restaurants.
The New Wave Vacation Rentals team was very easy to communicate with, and sent clear instructions for accessing the property so we were able to get settled in easily after arriving. I would definitely stay here again!

Reviewer Comments:
The home was roomy and comfortable. Some minor things needing repaired like flooring and kitchen drawers. Could have been a smidge cleaner but it was about what you expect from a rental. Major downfall was the dog poo left in the yard and scooper from previous visitors. The enclosed yard was the deciding factor we had chosen this rental, but was not keen on having to pick up from another guest's dog in order to enjoy it. Messaged the rental company the first night about how to operate the pool lights. They replied timely stating there were no lights in the pool, although we could see the lights in the pool. I responded to their reply raising my concern with the dog poo issue, and never received a reply at all.

Glad that you enjoy the home We apologize for the dog feces being left behind that should have been caught before your check in and we will speak with our staff to insure this does not happen again. We hope that you will come and stay with us again!
Location isn't too far from beach, but need to drive. Walked to Finns restaurant. Neighbors were very loud and up till 3am-ish Friday night. Overall home was spacious and fit our needs inside. Windows are VERY thin and could hear neighbors way too well. We all arrived at dark on a Friday and all the backyard electric was out. The management number says to only call in case of emergency, so we waited till the next morning. They sent a guy over immediately, and we left for beach with him there. Came back at 3pm, no lights out back etc, no note, nothing! Called number and they close at 1 apparently. Left VM & emailed repair form. Couple hours later 2 guys show up and fix so we can enjoy pool & grill outside that night. They did leave us golf cart after 5pm to use- that was nice except we got a ticket when we got off G street! Wished we'd known about that rule- but wasn't told since it wasn't rented typically. Management should of been more communicative, repair men were nice. Very frustrating when only staying 2 nights and didn't get to enjoy 1 night outside on birthday- which was why we rented home with pool & cabana in the first place.

Lisa,
I want to greatly apologize for these issues during your stay. We appreciate you waiting till the next day to call but we would've loved for you to call the night you arrived. This is something we would've taken care of for you so you could've enjoyed the cabana both nights. I do want to greatly apologize for the communication issues you had during your stay. We apologize you were not more informed and updated about the issues at hand. We are glad our maintenance staff was able to get the lights fixed for you for the second night and decided to gift you a golf cart for your troubles. They wanted you to enjoy your stay and have fun but I am sorry about the ticket. This is why there are signs on those roads stating to not drive your golf cart on the highway. We do thank you for your feedback and hope you consider staying with us again in the future. If you do we would love to gift you a golf cart during your next stay and will make sure it's your best vacation yet.
