July stay 2025

The property was great for our family. great space and well appointed. The house and realty team did a great job with easy reservation and checkin and out. The kitchen is well stocked. Suggestion that owner has a landscape person to clean up the pool area, it was very weedy. we also had to buy ant traps for out at the pool area as the pool deck has many biting ants and ant hills. The refrigerator took a long time to get to temp and the hot burner light in the stove is always on.
pool area.  an easy up created lots of shade
Beach crabs are very fun
a double rainbow if you look close
A young family of deer visited daily

Overall the rental house is as described. It is comfortable and well appointed. The management company responded to two issues promptly. There were two unresolved issues worth noting: the hot tub had been over treated and the pool company advised us not to use it. The management company made no accommodations for this. Second, the door code deactivated at midnight on July 11 instead of at 10am on July 12 (check out day/time). This was reported but no one has bothered to reapply. Had there not been someone inside the house, we would have been locked out all night. The lack of even a reply is disappointing.

Tradition

Wonderful neighborhood, house is better than the pictures and the beds were great. Will be returning to this house next year. House provided a wagon and chairs for the beach, which was a very quick walk down the street, Plenty of room for the family to sprawl out and relax. View from the deck in the evenings was beautiful.

Fantastic place for our family and friends to relax!

The house was great. We had enough beds and bathrooms for everyone. The house was very clean. We had an issue with the pool jets one day and I sent a text. It was fixed within an hour. The wrap around top deck was nice to sit on. You can see the sound. The walk to the beach wasn't bad. We had a 5 and 7 year old with us. Nice outside shower with hot and cold water to rinse off before getting into the pool or hot tub. Overall, we had 9 adults and 5 kids with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. We would definately stay here again.

Property unacceptable. Black mold in multiple rooms. It was even coming out of base of ceiling fan in living room, vents, walls, shower curtains. Kitchen poorly equipped. Cabinets peeling. We used 5 beds. Mattresses so bad, two guests slept on sofa. One blanket for entire house.
