Improperly managed

We chose this house for the outdoor entertainment area and game room with activities for the kids. Upon arrival we looked at the pool which was green. As we got closer we realized something was terribly wrong with it. Huge disappointment. Also no egg chairs for lounging as pictured in the outdoor space. I contacted the host with “so the pool is out of commission?” Their response was no the pool is perfectly fine. I believe they truly thought the pool was fine and asked if there was somewhere I could send pics and videos to so that they could see what we were seeing. So there went our pool time for entertainment. We were all sitting to have breakfast at the table and the chair my 80 year old grandmother chose collapsed causing her to hit her head in the floor (thank god she didn’t hit the corner of the wall). This gave her a terrible headache and we were worried about a concussion so my mother had to stay back with her at the house while the rest of us went to the beach. This was her last trip to the beach and the only full day we had to spend at the beach. Several of the video games in the game room did not work and the foosball table was so loose and unstable we instructed the kids to stay. Away from it in fear it would collapse or break as well. Communication with the host was simple and they more very nice. I truly believe they were unaware of the pool and other issues. However, this does not excuse the poor condition of thing. Someone should be checking. Refund expected!

Looks as though this chair has been stressed from many uses. Someone should be chucking things to be in proper working order. This chair collapsed with my 82 year old grandmother seated in it for less than 5 mins resulting in her head hitting floor

Pretty Good

My family has more than enough room and you really cannot beat the location. My kids loved the pool and it was hard to get them out each day. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, there were more than enough towels and complimentary shampoo/conditioner. We did experience a few maintenance issues. We had to continuously plunge the kitchen sink and there was a leak in one of the rooms due to a rainstorm. The homeowner immersent someone out to take care of the leak. It would have been nice to have beach equipment such as chairs, an umbrella, etc but that's not a deal breaker for my family since we have those. The house was spacious and I would definitely book again.

Terrible management company nice house with a few unsafe conditions

I recently had an unfortunate experience at this property due to its terrible management. Firstly, the house is unsafe, particularly from the top stairs downwards. The top of the stairs is poorly lit, which poses a significant risk when walking down the stairs at night. Taller individuals who need to be extremely cautious when descending from the second floor.Additionally, the cleanliness was below standard. There was trash left over, and hair in the shower. The management company's handling of our stay was extremely unprofessional. Out of nowhere, they initiated an eviction without providing any proof or validation concerning who was on the premises. Despite the uncooperative management, the neighbors were friendly and accommodating. They were open to letting us use extra parking for our group, which was as we had a few extra cars due to the rain in Houston after a prom event. Although local police informed us about overflow parking availability, the management did not allow us this option.To our dismay, the owners decided on an eviction, which was a major safety hazard for our group since we had been there all day. Moreover, they denied any refund and imposed an additional 850 fee. I advise future renters to thoroughly read the agreement, as certain clauses that weren't initially there seem to have been added. The most disappointing aspect is the management company's attitude. They responded with sarcasm and showed no willingness to listen.

Basic: Kitchen is bare bones.

The property has plenty of room with good covered outdoor space and pool. However, the house sleeps 16 and the kitchen only had 7 spoons. The kitchen is basic lacks enough silverware and not one baking sheet. Meals were challenging. Our advice make sure to bring all your cooking supplies.

Friend Reunion

It all worked out and seeing each other as a group after many years overshadowed any issues, but the home was not as nice as photos. There had been a lot of water damage at some point and mildew and mold (I am highly allergic) was overwhelming. It was very evident in the kitchen ceiling and floors. I wish we’d known a little more about the sleeping spaces and privacy and accessibility And we also struggled all weekend to cool the house enough to be able to relax there or sleep comfortably We all loved the pool, though, and sitting poolside and catching up!.Reminiscing and being together made up for any shortcomings!

Tough Weekend

I’m general, it seemed as if this property had been off the market for a while and was just listed to get Labor Day renters. The driveway had pallets of roofing material and some of the described amenities were missing or not working. It started when we arrived at 4pm for checkin and the cleaning folks were an hour from being finished. Once we got in at 5 we immediately noticed a sewer smell throughout the downstairs caused by a broken washing machine that had a load in it and the water was rancid. We closed that bedroom door and abandoned the room. The owner tried and we had 2 visits from his maintenance team working various issues. It just made for a less enjoyable weekend. I hope he finishes the needed repairs and repairs some of the ceiling and wall damage throughout.
