The property was in a great place. Everything was clean. The beds were horrible. The main bed had no support and felt like it was way worn out. It was very uncomfortable. I suggest getting a new matress. The pull out bed was even worse. It felt like you were laying on steel bars. We didn't sleep much. The steps were not very handicap actceptable.

Enjoyable Yearly Visit

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I enjoy this location. We have fun visiting the beaches. This is the first time there was some confusion and delay at check-in. I knew there was a problem when the first words from the desk clerk at check-in was "unfortunately your room hasn't been checked." We had to wait outside the room. Did not get offered to wait in office area with cool AC. Otherwise the room was great.
