Overall a great area and place to stay. However, floors did not seem to be cleaned very well (hair found on the bathroom floor when we arrived). Seat belts were rusted on the golf cart so you could not use. Propane fire pit would not stay lit.

Week beach getaway

I have to say for starters, the house is beautiful! Really spacious and accommodating for my family. Bed are super comfy and that AC is ice cold in this Texas heat! The only complaint I would say is that the seatbelts on the golf cart were super rusted and couldn’t be used.. we made up for that by using bungee cords for our kids to ride in the back. Location is right around the corner from the pool. Also being able to sit outside on the couches was a plus. Along with playin darts it made this trip one to remember. We will definitely be coming back!

Good location and property was clean. Did have several roaches and was unable to use the golf cart due to no key and a flat. We had to rent a golf cart, so unexpected expense.

Acceptable switcharoo

Property owners cancelled on us but property managers switched us to another place they manage (Feelin Tip Sea) for same price. So we got extra bedroom and small “game room.” Living room couch had broken recliner, they left us extra toilet paper but just a couple drops of dish soap, one big stove burner did not work, the previous renter’s trash filled half of the one small outside garbage bin, they brought us oven mitt and hot pad when I told them there were none, but they could not find correct TV remote for living room TV and ghosted me about that after my 2nd request.otherwise the place was very clean and most items were as expected. We had an acceptable stay. I guess the extra bedroom made up for some small imperfections.

Labor Day Weekend

This property was the perfect getaway for our family of 6. It is conveniently located close to town and the beach. Two of the many perks you will enjoy while renting this house are plenty of parking and having a golf cart included. Looking forward to staying here again!
