Spacious place with short walk to beach

Loved the spaciousness, bedrooms and bathrooms were great. The 2nd floor bathroom with the tub-shower looked broken and was not usable. AC worked great; family was plenty comfortable, pool was tiny but nice and refreshing. SPI was very accommodating, prompt to get things fixed, and quite courteous. The floors were pretty filthy like not having been mopped, but this is a beach house after all and probably hard to keep clean. Locks were not working on doors so we had to block doors somehow for privacy going poddy or taking a shower . TVs were great and working with big screens. There was a coffee pot but we went and bought a Keurig as we brought our kcups with us. House overall needs work as the floors in the kitchen are all buckling and bowing, but we worked around it. Had 2 sets of keys and a garage door opener that was very convenient. We had our family of 11, which included 5 grandchildren from 2 years old up to 14 years old, 2 grandparents, and two sets of parents. Would stay here again!
Comfy large sectional couch were grandpa put the 2 year old yo sleep

Nice for large groups

The house is perfect for large groups. Does need some updating as there were some pieces missing or broken in the permanent pieces. Couch was very worn. One bathroom.showwr had long hair all over it. It was either not cleaned or not cleaned well enough.

Truly mixed bag

This house is structurally nice. Spacious, great location. Prior to booking, I read the reviews and was concerned about the numerous issues previous customers had. So, I have several communications with VRBO and asked them to ensure that the issues identified were addressed. They wrote me that they would be addressed. 2 weeks prior, I messaged and asked if everything was addressed and they assured me again that all issues would be addressed prior to our reservation. This place is lovely in basic structure. But, there were dozens of problems some of which were: 1) gate security did not work at all. 2) Outer door security did not work. No security at all. 3) numerous door handles were broken. In the master bedroom, a door handle came off in my hand. 4) Light switches were hard to find in some rooms and didn’t make sense in others. 5) had to call Maintenance when the microwave over-heated and shut down. 6) furniture is very well worn. Especially the sofa. 7) outdoor lighting doesn’t work (by pool) 8) unbeknownst to me, the garage apt in front of this house was leased to other people. They had free access to enter the house and had a vantage point to look into our pool and front courtyard area. These people also used our driveway. 9) we had to fix a very noisy bed 10) this house is significantly dated in electronics, Wi-Fi is poor. 11) under-furnished 12) kitchen is under-furnished with old-ish kitchen-ware items. 13) thermostat on 3rd floor is hard to find. 14) patio furnishing is a disaster. Missing cushions on old furniture. 15) Master bedroom is big but sparsely furnished. No nightstands or lamps/light at the bed. 16) dining table shows seating for 8, but there were only 6 chairs. 17) master shower seemed moldy. Steam worked but smelled old. 18) air conditioner for the ground floor had to be fixed by the maintenance team. I could continue, but how to review a place like this? 7 bedrooms isn’t easy to find. This place is huge and has great potential if the owner gave it a small amount of attention. It is my understanding that this house is for sale.

Nice property spacious and comfortable in a great beachfront location. A little wear and tear .

Family of 15 had a great time, comfortable and plenty of room for everyone. Prepared family meals with ease and enjoyed the beachfront location. Ask about the "trick" for locking doors that was our biggest issue. Also had a Yeti Cooler stolen off patio but that was no fault of the property or management.

Perfect for Us!

We had 17 staying at the house - including our adult children and our grandkids - from ages 4 to 78. The best feature was that the house is on the beach making it very convenient for everyone to go there whenever they wanted. There was a bunch of swimming stuff available - a beach tent, boards, etc. We left a couple bags of sand toys, too. Overall the house was very nice in that each family had their own bedroom with bath. The main area is somewhat worn in appearance - but provided adequate space for eating meals, crafting, putting a puzzle together, etc. Lots of TVs in the house. There were 6 parking spaces which was what we needed. SPI management was very responsive - when one TV remote did not work they sent someone over within an hour. The stove (mentioned in other's recent reviews) was fixed. We had a family vacation that we will always fondly remember.

Overall great experience

13 friends recently visited this property. Very spacious for everyone. The location is right on the beach which was amazing. 7 bedrooms each with their own bathroom was a bonus. The pool was not heated so we were not able to use that much. There were a couple issues, the freezer did not work, there was a toilet that had issues, a few exterior doors would not lock. Otherwise overall great experience.

Security gate broken, no code required to access the property, 3. Dirty pool, dirty pool grounds, dirty, nasty, moldy patio furniture 4. Don’t need a key to get inside, most of doors do not lock or broken door locks 5. The rental looks clean when you walk in, but look careful, sand on the couch, dusty all over, sand all around corners and under island 6. All this happened while I was checking in at the main office, the rest of my family was already at the property and inside the building, calling me and sending me pictures of all of the above issue stated. 7. Some TV did not work, code for internet was not working and several other issues with the technology 8. Refrigerator leaking water the bottom 9. Broken coffee pot, it was a good thing I took my own 10. ONLY two dish towels, for a kitchen size, Ah Really? 11. Light switched located behind the beds, need to move the bed to turn on lights 12. Bathroom on second floor, bathroom light out 13. Bathroom on second floor, shower head not working and toilet not holding water in the revisor 14. Bathroom on third floor, shower wand not working, soaking tub water fill broken, no shower curtain, the whole bathroom full of mold 15. Third floor main bedroom, door lock broken, door doesn’t even close ½” gap around the bottom and side, door frame near the door knob, eaten away. 16. ONLY one set of bathroom towels in this main bathroom, look like of very low quality. 17. Called several times to SPI phone #, no one answered, answering machine mailbox doesn’t work. 18. Called to get a broom so I could sweep the patio around the pool and inside the rental, broom delivery took a day and a half. 19. Called for maintenance on all the above 20. Clearly no inspection on this property is being conducted, after supposedly cleaning personnel is done or maintenance personnel are done. 21. “The garage” don’t even ask.

Great trip except for a few set backs.

There was a group of 13 that stayed in this house for a work retreat. Upon arrival we were disappointed in the size and cleanliness of the pool. (Pictures make it seem MUCH larger). It took a few calls to the office to have someone come clean it. An Amazing thing about this house is that every room has a bathroom!!! The house is very spacious and fit all of us comfortably but, the floors and counters looked a bit dirty. I understand it is on the beach so sand is kind of inevitable but, first walking into your VRBO you expect cleanliness. Some rooms have poor ventilation- some people were very HOT while other people on the same floor were cold. Other than that it was a great trip! We are grateful for the stay. Thank you.

Great place. Amazing location. Needs a lot of maintenance.

Overall we really enjoyed ourselves. The house is in a great location on the beach, which makes it easy to come/go from the ocean. It’s also a large home and I could see how families could meet here and have room. We were only five people and it was nice. There were hiccups, though. Some of the other reviews are accurate about maintenance issues. Now - this isn’t about the management of the place as they were responsive to our requests. However, there are some serious security issues that need to be resolved, including that the back doors do not lock. In fact, none of the exterior patio doors lock. The bottom floor is right on the beach which makes it a little unnerving. We called that in and they were aware of the issue but it’s been ongoing and they needed the parts. Other issues include the pool doesn’t filter or run consistently. With as many different people that stay here that’s an issue of personal hygiene. The stove vent doesn’t work, there are many missing lights and burned out bulbs. The coffee machine didn’t work. And the garage door broke during our stay as well. Given all of that, the house is nice and just needs some attention. It was disappointing to arrive and not see a pool table even though it’s on the listing. Little things but they add up. With some attention the home would be easily worth the nightly rate. SPI did their best to help us out and were very responsive. Kudos to them.

Large Home great for groups!

The giant spiral staircase leads to an Amazing 3rd floor Master Suite that has a massive steam shower and incredible Ocean Views. We had seven couples in this house and each had their own privacy and bathroom with exception of the main floor bedroom. The open kitchen living room area was great for group hangout and cooking meals! The location and beach access are excellent. The only complaint is that the doors and blinds in the second and third floor bedrooms do not work well and should be replaced or repaired.

Almost perfect, but....

The property is in a fabulous location. The shower in the master suite was awesome! However, for what I paid I did expect a better attention to detail. There were no trash cans on the second or third floors. The pool lights were not working (I looked for the switch all over the patio and garage), the AC unit was not cooling properly on the second floor, the back patio door did not lock, the shower in the mother in law suite only trickled water, limited amount of towels (we had to wash towels daily and brought our own beach towels as advised) and several of the blinds could not be raised. I put in a work order and we were assured that someone would be there. No one came. Except for the AC issue, one could say that these were minor inconveniences. However, one pays more (as I did) to avoid these things.
