Better Communication needed

We thought this house was wonderful and honestly it is at the top of our list for wanting to stay again. But unfortunately we didn’t get to enjoy the outside deck or shower area at all due to the septic leaking waste all week into the pavement in the back. When we arrived we immediately contacted management and let them know about the toxins leaking and unfortunately they ALREADY knew about the problem and without notification allowed us to check in. The problem was not fixed the entire time we were there so the smell was awful the whole time. It really is a shame as we invested more in an ocean side home only to not get to enjoy a third of the house. When we used the outside shower, the water was mixing with the waste water and it was so unnerving. We are sorely disappointed with Ward reality not offering anything to fix the issue or compensate us back, even partially with the known waste leaking issue prior to check in.

Views are amazing

The views of the home are amazing and the house is right on the water with easy access to the beach. I did not like that we had to bring our own linens or pay more money to rent sheets and towels. We have stayed in VRBO's many times before and have never experienced this, which was inconvenient. We owned a home on the beach, that we rented out, and never would we have considered not providing linens. The house smells moldy and you need to open the windows but they don't have screens. Many minor repairs are needed: lights were burned out, the master toilet would not stop running, the other upstairs bathroom's toilet seat was broken, outside fans were rusted and would not turn on. The most important thing to mention though are the steps. They are extremely narrow and steep. If you have children or elderly members of your family, be careful.

Perfect for our families to stay

Very nice location, beautiful views (as described) and beach right out front. Furniture could use some updating but the kitchen was gorgeous! It was perfect for our families. Ward realty company was so polite and helpful. Charge a few extra dollars a night and have a few basics on hand like dish and hand soap and a sample of laundry detergent.... we were first time renters and unprepared. Having to go back in to the store to get staple items was inconvenient. Great weekend overall!
