Amazing week with our family!

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 have 8 children so finding a house that is just right isn’t always easy but this one was wonderful! This home was the perfect location! View was beautiful and the decks made it so enjoyable! The boardwalk made it easy to get to the beach. The beds were comfortable and the house had what we needed. The house is a little dated and parts of it show the age, but the furniture was nice and the dated aspects didn’t bother us. We would book again in a heartbeat!

Very clean house with an incredible view and is very good for dogs. It is in great shape and had good fixtures. The stove in particular was very good, and it was as well stocked kitchen as we have ever seen in CSB. The bathroom on the top floor is not very usable for adults, especially the shower. Our child characterized the toilet as a kiddie toilet. There is no fresh water filter and no ice maker, so plan accordingly. The beds were comfortable and there was a good selection of pillows. The decks are very nice and beach access was great.

Great beach front rental with wonderful gulf views! The home was clean with ample space for our family. We took advantage of the 250 beach gear rental credit and enjoyed a kayak and 2 beach bikes. Plenty of other beach toys at the rental for kiddos, but no beach chairs. I would recommend bringing your own or renting them with your credit. A sidenote for fisherman: the boardwalk to the beach is narrow in spots making it a tight fit getting a beach cart down and around the corners. We managed, but it was a bit of a pain. Overall, we loved the rental, but just wish the boardwalk was more accommodating for fisherman.

Reviewer Comments: we always enjoy a house that is directly on the beach! so easy to just walk a few steps and be right in the ocean. there have been some reviews that it is not 'updated' or I guess super modern, but I think the most important thing about this place is that it is DOG FRIENDLY and very comfortable yet clean/tidy for being so. we loved it and would/will come back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is in the perfect spot! Beautiful views, easy walk to the beach and convenient to Peachy’s and ther donut shop! The house does need a little TLC. The screen door was broke, the front door lock was rusted making it difficult to lock and unlock and the heat and air conditioning did not work when we first arrived. However, Coastal Joe took care of all the repairs while we were there.

Great Trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the house and amenities. Sea turtle laid her eggs at the base of our path while we were on the beach enjoying a fire. Wonderful experience. Only negative was the dishwasher didn’t clean. You had to basically wash dishes before loading. Otherwise, great sunsets, no rain and the screen porch is a perfect outdoor living room. Thanks for offering a comfortable pet friendly home!!

Some small issues

Dog friendly rentals should not have all them rugs in every room and hallway. All of the rugs there had been urinated on by dogs and smelled really bad. Look to of never been washed before. Home furniture is very dated. Beds were uncomfortable. Ramp to the water was to narrow for cart.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very 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: House was accurately described as beach front. One thing to know is the house has the kitchen living area up three flights of stairs! Once groceries and supplies were up it was OK. Views of beach are great and it is a short walk on shared walkway to beach. We had several issues during our stay that management company responded to promptly. However, House needs some upkeep. Mattresses are old and saggy. 2nd story porch had ZERO furniture. 2nd story sliding doors were hard to move to exit to the beach.

Beautiful Home....... but

This is a absolutely beautiful house and nicely decorated. The dishwasher does NOT work. They have a new one that was post marked still new in the box for June. They are aware this dishwasher doesn’t work but apparently the agency the owner uses won’t have it installed because of the 37 steps it will take to climb to get it installed. I had to hand wash everything and we cook a lot of meals. I didn’t want to spend hours washing dishes every day. The bed in the master bedroom was the worst bed I have ever slept on on the 53 years I’ve been alive. It was kin to sleeping on a brick frame and a piece of hard wood. The rugs if they were turned over were covered in dog urine and feces. I actually washed 4 rugs that were on the second floor and top floor landing. I paid a pet fee and cleaning fee. Obviously that’s just extra money not going to thoroughly clean everything from prior pet visits. There are 37 steps to the top floor which is where the kitchen, dining room and living room is. Wasn’t a game changer for us but would imagine someone with a bum knee or older pet would have a bad time of it. Overall this vacation house has a lot of minuses considering for what you pay for. I at least expect clean rugs, a working dishwasher and a bed that you can actually sleep on.

Response from VrboOwner on 15 September 2023
We appreciate you taking the time to give us feedback on your stay. The dish washer was in stock at ACE Hardware in June but wasn't bought until recently. We haven't had a chance to install it with the home being rented and renters request to not be bothered due to COVID-19. Our maintenance would have been happy to install it during your stay if we would have known y'all wouldn't be bothered with them entering the home. Beds can be a tad bit tricky because everyone has a different opinion on what makes the perfect mattress. Our company has recently tried out a new cleaning company (they supply their own inspectors) in trying to resolve our cleaning complaints that we have been getting. Obviously, they didn't work out and have since then been fired. As a company, we have worked hard to maintain our reputation as a fair, empathetic, and even generous to a fault company for over 14 yrs now. I do apologize if you feel that we came up short this time.

The only thing that I didn’t like was that both the bunk bed room and queen bedroom didn’t have dressers so I could unpack our clothes. I would recommend dressers even if they have to be placed in the closets. Other than that this house met all our expectations. I would definitely recommend!!
