Excellent location, away from all the crowd and noise free.Very easy access to beach and other major attractions. Size of the building, the rooms, parking and the surroundings were excellent for a group of 14 adults. Pool was not clean initially but got cleaned upon request, pool water was not heated. Refrigerator with ample space but rusty and was leaking but got fixed right away upon notification. Shower doors were not clean, mold noted on the doors.Noted flies inside the house as well as in the bathrooms.Our main concern was the security. The locks of the backyard doors were not working and not able to lock the front door from outside. All the 4 days we stayed we were not able to access the front door key to lock. The instructions for accessing the key is not clear.We suggest you provide a small video clip how to access the key and locking the door or replace the current lock and key with number lock.

Beach was not visible. Everything was well presented and most things worked. Internet was down when first arrived, but came to fix fast. Never did get the patio door to lock. They came and showed us how, but still could get it locked after they left. Freezer did not work. Almost too much space. This place is huge. Pool not heated so we did not use it. Waterfall not working. The lighting in the MAster Bath is difficult to discover. could use a chart to help. Finally figured it out. We had difficulty getting keys out of lockbox. Internet does not reach the Master Bedroom. Overall the house was clean and loaded with extras. We did enjoy our stay. Extra room provided privacy for small groups.

The bathrooms need updates. There were flies in our bathroom, and a stale smell. The living area is large and so were the dinning and kitchen. These were spacious and comfortable to hold 18 of us, but the pool was not ready for use.

Communication with prop mngt was good but feel they need to visit property every once in while to see how their cleaning svc is. Propane was out on the fire place the first night but was replaced the following day. Small details that need to be taken care of. Rubber seals in kitchen sinks need replacement, don’t need to see exposed disposal. FYI…fridge in kitchen is a freezer!! Learned the hard way, trash can in kitchen needs replacement. Had to manually lift lid. No ceiling fans, the two box fans were jacked. One was super loud the other was missing the prongs on the power cord. Second story bedroom is super hot when the heater was on. I’m sure this house is great during the summer! Was promised these issue would be taken care of but unfortunate we had to deal with it. We will not be renting this property again but if they take care of these missed opportunities it’s a great place.

The place itself was one of the nicest places i have ever seen. Beautiful home. Nice pool table and ping pong table. We had a Christmas gathering and the entire family was floored by how beautiful it was. The owners even decorated the living room and entrance with Christmas trees and decorations which was a nice touch.When i say do not underestimate the mosquitos, i mean serious business. Do not forget the mosquito spray. The heated pool was not heated when we arrived. But the owners called a maintenance man out on Christmas eve to fix it. Very generous of them. He didn't fix it, we had to later but that was no fault of the owners or beachbox. Once the pool heated up the next day it was awesome. The hot tub is for looks only. The jets are not an offered amenity is what i was told. Overall we will definitely be trying to stay here in the future and had a great experience

The house was not cleaned very well. There were dead bugs in the kitchen. The carpets looked awful with very nasty looking stains everywhere. Everything from the appliances in the kitchen to the pool table looked pretty heavily used and in need of maintenance. The worst part was trying to contact the management about an exterior door that would not lock. The first night was several hours back-and-forth via the app chatting tool. I had to leave the house unsecured. We had a group of 12 people and had gone out to dinner with all of our belongings in the house, but with no way to lock it. They would not respond via a call or a more immediate means of communication to address the problem. They finally agreed to send a maintenance person on the second day after I kept insisting but first required that I send photos of the door lock that wasn’t functioning. They’ve then replied with a video link on how to lock the door acting as if I didn’t know how a basic door locked functioned. Overall, I will not be staying here again nor recommending anyone else too.

Senior Trip
This property was perfect for our group of 12 graduated seniors (17 total people). The ability to stay together in a 1.6 million house that met all of our needs was priceless. They swimming pool and the fire pit were popular hang out spots for the group. The patio furniture is really nice and sturdy. The kitchen is huge. Huge. We enjoyed the large refrigerator and the ice machine in the bar area. Our group was just able to fit around the large dining room table with additional chairs pulled up. These moments were my favorite of the whole trip. The beds were comfy and the extras were nice too: the pool table, ping pong table, the video game, all the smart TVs. There has been some wear and tear on the house from previous guests, but that's to be expected, I'm sure-- nothing that changed our attitude about our stay. Items to remember, as with all vacation rentals, if you want more towels, bring them: bath, pool, kitchen, dish rags, hand towels, etc. And one peculiar note about the kitchen: there are at least 5 colanders but 0 storage bowls or mixing bowls. If you're planning on a lot of scratch cooking, bring bowls. Overall, we loved this place. We would definitely return given the chance.
