Randy,
We are glad that you enjoyed the property. A pool vendor services the pool two times a week and came come in between those cleanings if requested. We hope you will visit again!
Overall was good. We had to keep killing water roaches inside the house every night. There is a rusted piece of some type of metal coming out of the ground, outside near the grill, that my son didn't see and cut his foot on. I had to take him to get a Dtap shot. Besides that, it was a good stay.

We were lucky to be able to fit all families into the two units. I especyliked the crossover balcony. The stairs were a definite problem. I was told after expressly asking that the two bedrooms were street level. They were not! We will not go back to this house again. Also one bedroom had a major investation of ants causing the couple to have to sleep on the couch. The problem was remedied immediately,.👍

Gail, Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear that you liked the location and pool. A pool vendor services the pool two times each week. We were unaware of the issue during your stay and wish you would have let us know as we could have had the vendor come out and take a look at it! We hope to see you at the beach again soon!

Lovely, spacious house, beautifully decorated, convenient to beach access. One minor maintenance request was reported through the app at night and taken care of efficiently and promptly the next day. The pool and balconies are shared/open to those renting the unit next door, and the pool was mostly in the shade. Many stairs to climb inside the house, but that was no problem for our group. Furnishings are updated, charming and comfortable (although the master bedroom mattress was quite firm, for our taste). Very satisfied with Bryant Real Estate’s efficiency, help and responsiveness. Check-in and checkout were easy with a keypad, emails and the app. Would definitely rent again. Thank you!

House looks beautiful but bad experience with plumbing we’re really bad very bad maintenance. When someone try to take a shower in third level water started pouring from air vents my family and I had to leave a day early because of that issue.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 August 2023
Hi Claudia, You again have our sincere apologies for the issues you experienced with the plumbing. This owner had that bathroom remodeled over the winter and something was not connected properly. Having only tested it with one person for the past month, the issue did not occur until your family arrived. It has now been fully repaired. As you know, we have refunded you the entire rental amount and sent another $100 as a letter of credit for you to return to any of our units in the future. We hope this will be deemed a reasonable solution, and that you will give us another chance to help create some wonderful family memories.
This property turned spring break into a disaster that felt like a scene from National Lampoon’s Vacation and I was stuck playing Chevy Chase. The house’s water system made me fear for the safety of my family as water (toilet/shower/sink) poured from the air vents and light fixtures into the main living room anytime someone used the bathroom on top floor. Maintenance promptly arrived the second day we were there but was never able to resolve the issues prior to our departure after multiple attempts. I spent more time with the maintenance men than I did with my family on the beach. In addition, Bryant Real Estate did not follow up with any of my call back request but did credit me a $100 like that would make it all better.

Great to hear Mom's Merriment made for a great vacation, Donna! The new owners of the property have completely remolded the kitchen, added new flooring to all bedrooms, and new furnishings throughout. Making this property feel much more spacious than it already is. Thank you for allowing Mom's Merriment to host your vacation!

Reviewer Comments:
House had a few more stairs than expected...biggest disapointment was how dirty the actual rental was. It didn't look like it had even been cleaned. Had to spend about 2.5 hours recleaning baths, bathrooms, floors( vacimed and wiped) and kitchen. Also amazed at how dirty the previous renters left the pool.Reported to mgt company they appologized as they said it was a crazy day of turnovers. They offered to send in cleaners for the house but we had already done it as we wanted to settle in. Should have been done before we moved in. Also pool didn't get cleaned for 3 more days. Not what i had expected from what we rented.
