Great getaway

Fantastic house and we loved the screened in porch. Spacious, clean, and comfortable. Loved the gate onto the grass area with quick walk to beach. The lock wouldn’t work upon check in and calling didn’t help fix it. We got an actual key and ended up using it in the upstairs door but would prefer for lock to have worked.

High end rental

This house is very nice. It is furnished with high quality items that I rarely see in a rental home. We had one of the most memorable vacations here.

Vacay Stay

Location was great, house was nice but problems with most of the doors going outside, hard to shut or lock and some doors were unable to be locked. Could have been ALOT cleaner. Some areas were dirty, ENTIRE house was covered in long dark human hair (someone has to be bald by now) every single room and bathroom had TONS of long hair.... very gross. Beds were stained and/or dirty so tried to wash the bedding to find an EMPTY bottle of detergent. Kitchen needed dish towels, trash bags and cleaning supplies.

3-night stay (June 2023)

We stayed at the house for 3 night. Here are the few pros/cons Pros: 1. House was clean and spacious. Beds were comfortable 2. Location was good and only few mins walk to the beach 3. Neighborhood was safe and very well maintained. Cons: 1. House was short on supplies. There were only two trash bags and limited tissues. 2. Bathrooms were provided with very little soap/shampoo. Also, not many towels were available for the size of the house. 3. Shower head wasn't working in one of the bathroom. 4. Some of the exterior locks wouldn't lock so we had to leave the house unlocked. 5. Property management was handled by a big company (Vasaca) so it was painful to get in touch with someone who is informed about the property.

Some disappointments

Our family stayed at this property for family vacation. The location is ideal and the neighborhood is very nice, but overall our experience was mediocre. The garage door broke the first time we tried to open it when we arrived, so we lost a parking spot for the duration of our trip. We were eventually able to get a hold of someone, but the issue was not fixed during our stay. The kitchen did not have any pantry items, so be sure to bring anything you might need. House was relatively clean, but we did have to deal with ants and some shower issues. Overall, disappointed with the quality considering what we paid, and how nice the neighborhood is.
