Great place to take a large group. Our tournament ended late, and started early, so we didnt have time to explore the barn. Note that the bunk room is completely separate downstairs--having to use outdoor stairs. That was not clearly listed in the listing, so we had to adjust. Luckily there were plenty of beds upstairs! Overall, clean, especially for a beach house!

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
We were very disappointed in the overall shape of the place. I reached out to the owners or people in charge and gave them a list. Here are just a few. Gameroom definitely looked better in the pictures. Balls missing from pool table, cues were all broken in some way or another, flies were dead or dying downstairs in the beds etc, no lighting on the pier area so we couldn't fish at night, trouble with refrigerator, couch was broken in several areas, trouble with outside lighting, broken can opener, hole in deck, and the ceiling looked like it couldfall at any min. Hopefully they will repair and update what needs to be repaired. I feel we should have been reimbursed at least a partial of what it cost us. We had to keep food in coolers and purchase several bags of ice for that. We definitely won't return.

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
This place was dirty when we checked in. I contacted the host with photos and videos of all the mess. The host had delayed responses and did nothing to fix the situation immediately. I had to drive down to the store to get my own cleaning supplies because I felt very uncomfortable eventually realizing that there had been no proper cleaning done to the house after the last guests had checked out and before we checked in. The counters were dirty, there were crumbs on the couch, pieces of food on the living room floor, and the bathroom was visibly dirty around the shower walls with trash in the shower, as well as trash and hair under beds and furniture. The hand soap bottle they provided for a 3 night stay for 12 people was nearly empty as if nobody had come by to refill it. We found stains on the so called "clean" towels they had provided us. It looked as though someone just came in to fix the beds and leave folded towels. Hours later they had offered to send in cleaning services first thing the next morning. I found this very inconvenient because we had already checked in earlier in the afternoon and would've preferred someone to come in and clean before we would stay a night and have our belongings in the house. They came in the next day while we were gone after I specifically asked them not to and we were able to tell they only cleaned a couple areas and not the downstairs area or the rest of the house. The game room advertised was run down and were unable to use pool table

6/10 Okay

Disliked: Cleanliness
Overall the house was ok. The pictures of the house on the listing look better. When we arrived, trash was not picked up, the barn was not cleaned and air filter in the house had not been changed in a while. The house could have been a little more kept up. Communication with the guest service was great. The trash was addressed the next day and we cleaned up the barn and replaced the air filter. They offered a late checkout for the inconveniences.Surfside jetty park and beach was very close and the memories we made last weekend were great. Watch out for the mosquitoes at night!
