Over all it was a great property and location q

The property had a great view. I am glad the Elevators was working, to get the kitchen on the 3rd floor. If they can just change the carpets to make the property better. Just one little irritation was that the dishwasher was full of clean load. We could not use it because it was full. Other wise when the ax broke down someone came with in an hour to fix it

Concerns with the condition of this property

This unit was selected because it had an elevator. By the time we were informed that the elevator would not be repaired other rentals were not available. We were told that money would be refunded due to this issue, and when we asked how much no one would provide a number. A refund of $500 is 4%. That is not sufficient for the lack of elevator, dirty condition, & disrepair of the unit. Upon entering the property we were surprised by the lack of upkeep. The handrails were dirty & sticky. The base boards & hallway carpeting were matted with dirt. Toeshoe molding had been removed & the baseboards were not repainted. The door to the porch was grimy and missing paint. The tub upstairs does not drain, their was mold on the shower curtain, dirt on the kitchen chairs. All of the pool chairs were missing straps and there was mold on each one. The required “towel” package is cheap, thin, rough dorm level towels. The decor can only be characterized as institutionalized. All the walls are painted white, bedding is white, shower curtains are white, etc. It feels cheap. Chairs are covered with cheap slipcovers, the main bedroom is missing a sitting chair, wall art is random. The paint job does not look professional-there are drips & areas missing paint. The renovation that was done is a downgrade. A luxury beachfront rental should have high end furnishings and the appearance of professional decorating. This unit does not.

Property needs some major TLC!

The pictures are super deceiving. Don’t get me wrong, the area and beach access is amazing. We loved waking up and being able to watch dolphins from our balcony. However, this property needs some major help. Broken elevator, kitchen cabinets falling off, floors turning our kids feet black, broken dryer door, squealing shower heads, the central air not shutting off and freezing the one room, trash left under the couches from the previous renter. Paint pealing by the stairs, coffee stains on the carpet. I’m not sure a cleaning company even came between us and the previous person. We definitely left it cleaner than how we found it when we left.

Great location

Had a mini family reunion celebrating my daughter's graduation from UNCW. The house was perfectly appointed and could not be in a better location. There are a lot of stairs and the elevator was out while we were there.

LOVED! Very clean, big rooms. The stairs could have been cleaner. The elevator was broken during our stay so that wasn’t very fun but we were notified way beforehand and it didn’t stop us from having a great time! Highly recommend this house!!

Property was as expected. Great location. Shared entryway/staircase was a bit of a hassle and the door didn't seem to lock very easily.

Needed more attention in the bathrooms and stairwells. Wasn’t clean enough. The shower curtains were dirty. I sprayed bathroom cleaner on them and ran water and the dirt came off. So if it was cleaned better that wouldn’t be a problem The rooms and kitchen were very clean. Except the pillows they need to be replaced. Thank goodness for the linen being cleaned thoroughly. The views of the ocean are amazing.. so would stay here again just be prepared to clean before you get comfortable. It’s a little over priced especially with the cost for cleaning added. Overall it was a good stay as it was all about family.

Great property with great ocean views!

This was a great condo with very responsive management. Great beds and decor. Plenty of space for a large family. Wonderful pool. Had an extra refrigerator which was awesome! Elevator was very handy, but not great for those with claustrophobia. We could feel the building sway a bit, but maybe that is normal with a building this tall. I would definitely stay here again.

Property management was poor no communication when we arrived at 4pm house had not been cleaned. After calling at 5pm cleaning crew arrived at 615pm finished around 720pm Property needs some work: 2nd floor would not cool down below 75 fans in all bedrooms so must be a known issue. Power outlets at carport did not work so we had no place to plug in golfcart.

Fun Stay

The house was wonderful. Laid out well for our 10 adults, 6 kids, and baby. Rooms are spacious and clean. We really liked this house and only had 2 issues. AC went out for 22hours and felt like it could have been resolved quicker, but that's partial fault of property mgt company and the owner only allows one service company. It got HOT! Only other issue was the pool - it's shared and whatever house shared it with us must have told all their friends because it the people in it had to be from multiple houses. Little crowded at times but worth being beach front with a pool.
