Overall we really enjoyed the home. It was nicely decorated and clean. The dining and living area were a nice place to hang out and the kitchen was functional to make meals. Bedrooms were nice for a large family. All bedrooms have a TV except one. The pool is great (heated) and we used it daily. I think “30 sec to the beach” is an underestimate. It’s close to beach but probably at least a 5 min walk to get to the sandy area where you would set up for a day. Close walk to rod and reel pier/restaurant as well. We also walked to 2 playgrounds. The house had a lot of beach equipment for guests to use including a wagon, tent, 4-5 beach chairs, sand toys, and pool floats; no cooler. There was a grill by the pool and the kitchen was fairly well stocked with cookware and appliances (toaster, regular coffee maker, toaster, etc).
I was a bit disappointed with the rental company and linen service. We only had 1 towel per bathroom when we arrived. We called on 2 different days to see if we could get more towels and were told we would get a call back but never did. There is a washing machine and dryer in the home but kind of disappointing to have to wash towels all the time when you’re paying for linen service. There were 7 beach towels included (even though the house can accommodate 8). I was also a bit disappointed that when I reached out via VRBO asking about amenities at the home (beach equipment, etc) that the rental company could give me no information.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the home to others.
