Good and Bad

The good: Amazing views, the pool was clean, the house was in a good location, the communication to and from the management company was good. Tbe bad: We were underwhelmed in many ways. We asked about a pool heater on booking and got no answer, then asked again and it wasn’t an option. The water went off during our stay unexpectedly. The king beds were not comfortable, the mattresses dipped. The house is cluttered and needs some updates. The floors are all different levels which is a tripping hazard for kiddos. Usually with the properties we stay at there are some amenities and toiletries but we had to get everything. Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again.

Would be 5 but its close

The house is amazing, very clean, roomy, nice bright feel. The views are also amazing! I have 2 complaints. No outdoor furniture besides a cheap plastic chair. You come to the beach to be outside, so it would seem necessary that you need outdoor living furniture! My second complaint is there are no blankets in this ehile house. There are plenty of sheets and pillows, but not one bed, or closet, has an actual blanket. Other than those 2 things, the house was perfect. Everything worked as it should and it was super clean. I would definitely stay here again but i hope they update the bedding!!

Faxo’s Retreat

Amazing location. Close to beach, restaurants, grocery stores and shopping. The view from this property is spectacular. The house is spacious and comfortable. Needs a little TLC, but overall it is a very nice property. We had a few issues at check in but the property management was excellent and responded very quickly to resolve our issues. Can’t say enough good things about property management. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Sunsets from the pier are breathtaking. I would book this property again.

Summer vacay close to everything-privacy

Loved location. My 78 year old mom came with us. She had porch/breezeway to sit under. Was able to visit with us but still stay cool. We loved having a private pool and could look out at water/lagoon. Small gro store for quick pick ups near us and a big gro store less than 2 miles away—so close to beach too.
