Disliked: Cleanliness
Major Safety & Misrepresentation WarningThe Bottom Line: This property is structurally unsafe, inaccurately described, and poorly managed. I strongly advise looking elsewhere.1. Critical Safety & Structural Issues• Split Layout: The two living areas are not connected indoors. You must walk outside and around the house to move between floors—a major safety risk for families with children.• Floor Damage: Upper-level floors are "wavy" & uneven with visible holes,the lower level has no floor just concrete• Health Hazards: Visible mold in the showers, a pervasive mildew odor could be black mold? There’s a dehumidifier for moisture & we found multiple cockroach’s.2. False Advertising• Missing Amenities: The advertised King bed was not on-site. • Poor Maintenance: Sofas were covered in pet hair, & 1 vent was blocked with a trash bag. 3.Management & Communication:The lack of urgency from the host was appalling. I reached out immediately upon check-in, yet it took nearly two days to receive a response despite repeated follow-ups. When management finally called on Thursday (the day before our scheduled departure), they issued an ultimatum: vacate the property immediately to receive a full refund, or receive only a partial refund. This forced us to spend the final day of our vacation frantically packing and searching for last-minute accommodations.The uncertainty & lack of professional accountability ruined our trip. I strongly advise against booking.
1 of many cockroaches found! Also why are they so big???

Disliked: Cleanliness
This stay ended up being more “character-building” than relaxing, though it did have a few redeeming qualities.Pros: Easy drive to the beach and walkable to a park (with multiple playgrounds, a basketball court, and a public pool. *not yet open for the season during our stay). BeachBox was also very responsive—which really saved the day when our 3-year-old accidentally locked us out. Not our finest moment, but they bailed us out quickly!Cons: The home itself felt pretty grimy. We encountered three cockroaches (a few more roommates than we booked for), and the entire bottom floor had a strong mildew smell, so we avoided it like the plague. Walking barefoot quickly turned into a mistake—the floors left our feet noticeably dirty. They sent a cleaning crew to do a touch up which was a nice gesture, but unfortunately the space still didn’t feel clean. There were also some maintenance quirks: parts of the floor and bathtub felt like they were auditioning for a sinkhole. One of the air vents had a plastic bag over it which was questionable. The bathroom air vent and walls had a lot of dust build up. Upstairs has little to no storage (no closets), so our belongings were living their best chaotic lives everywhere. The couch is very lumpy and well-loved, and the bedding is quite thin—more “camping chic” than cozy retreat.Overall, while the location and responsiveness were positives, the cleanliness and upkeep made it difficult to fully enjoy our stay.

Perfect for our needs, location was handy for the beach and there was a play ground just up the street perfect for the kids. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. We would happily stay here again. Even though it was spring break it wasn’t noisy at night or during the day.
