Girls Trip

Girl trip to the beach. When entering the cabin we noticed an odd smell. The fridge had an extremely hard and long time cooling down our food and drinks. There was no remote in the living room. The ceiling fans, fridge and under the couches were very dirty. There was stains on the chairs in the living and master bedroom. There was no bath mats in the bathrooms and no trash can in the master bathroom. When we were stripping the sheets we found stains and food crumbs on the mattress liners and a blood stain on one of the pillow case. In the living room we found a blood stain on one of the decorative pillows. I communicated with the owners Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They responded Friday and Sunday but did not respond to me Saturday. Since we pay a large amount for a cleaning fee I would expect a clean cabin. This was definitely not a clean cabin.

Perfect beach rental

We rented this house to celebrate a friend turning 40, a baby turning 4, and my teens homecoming. We had a lot of fun and was in the perfect spot. Very close access to the beach. The house rocks side to side so we had fun with it lol. The only thing I wish there was, were cleaning supplies. We love to clean the homes we rent and leave like a maid would before we leave. There was no sponge for washing dishes or any kind of spray to wipe counters down or a mop which was a first for us but it's ok. Next time we rent we will be prepared 😁 I loved all the seating outside and inside. Everyone could comfortably sit and sleep. There were some issues with the AC turning on when we got there. Daniel was quick to respond and we had it fixed and running in no time (then we froze in the house 🤣) totally worth it and we will be renting again soon!!

Cute house, good location

We stayed here with 2 other couples for a weekend away. Good location and cute house. Well set up for hanging out and cooking with friends. Missing some basics like pepper, a sponge for washing dishes, and paper towels (had about a 1/4 of a roll when we got there). Fair warning that this house sways a fair bit more than any other we've stayed at on our beach trips. If you get easily seasick, it may not be the place for you.

Beautiful house, close to the beach

This house is gorgeous, and had everything we could have ever wanted for our beach vacation. There is a gorgeous, modern, well-equipped kitchen where we were able to prepare meals, comfortable beds, a washer and dryer and plenty of room to stretch out and relax after a day at the beach. There is awesome outdoor furniture both under the house and on the deck, and several charcoal grills. Don’t forget the bug spray, and you’ll have the perfect place to watch the sunset!

First time renting a beach house for family vacation!

This property was amazing! The owners were awesome at communicating with me and answering all my questions as this was the first time I had ever rented through VRBO or rented a beach house for family vacation. The property is beautiful and very well kept and stoked with essentials. Checking in was a breeze, beautiful 3 minute walk to the beach, no issues throughout our stay. Will definitely book this property again!

House was cute but dirty in places

The house was everything we needed (bring your own whisk) but was pretty dirty under the couches and the floors in the master bedroom. There was leftover trash and chips under the couches. The blinds in the secondary queen bedroom were broken and the kids’ room and their bathroom door locks were broken. Overall, I would take my family here again.

Better than the pictures!

This may be the first time I've rented a property when it was in better condition and the neighborhood was better than I expected from the listing. Everything was clean and well done. Such a quick walk to the beach but even on spring break we all got a good night's sleep. The deck was fantastic with a little gate to keep kids or pups in. The house does sway because it's on stilts, you sort of have to get your sea legs and you can feel it when other adults walk heavily around inside. Also *be sure to read the little book on the shelf inside the door* it has important check out info that you need to know. GREAT rental.

We will be back!
