The house is exactly as described! Such a fun place to stay. The kids didn’t want to leave to go to any attractions, they were content with all the things there were to do at the house. Pool and hot tub are fabulous. Great house for a large group. Walk right down the street for quick access to the beach. Great neighborhood for a run or casual stroll. We will be returning. Don’t miss out on this amazing house!

We loved the size of the house as it gave everyone plenty of space. The pool was enjoyed by everyone. The hot tub was a big disappointment. It never got hot enough, and the motor for the Jets broke on our second day there. Apparently the motor had to be ordered so it never did get repaired while we were there. We were all so looking forward to being able to use the hot tub to relax in in the evenings. Hopefully, we will get reimbursed for some of the pool charges.

This house was perfect for our group of 13 (10 adults and 3 children 5 and under) the only suggestion I would have is not having the high chairs and tables that was difficult with younger children to eat at..also another set of washer and dryer on another floor would have been very useful. We had a few minor issues and the owner got back to us right away and had the problems fixed. The location of the house was great also. We rented a golf cart to get around. All in all we would rent this house again.

A MUST Stay!!!
What an amazing, beautiful, fun property. It was a reunion of 65 year old ladies who have been friends for 52 years. Each of the bedrooms were beautiful and had their own bathroom. And there were common areas on each floor filled with fun for all, pool table, video games and more. But the best part, the backyard with a pool, hot tub, putting green, and outdoor kitchen / grilling area. The best part, working with Hermosa. They responded immediately to all our questions. We would highly recommend a stay at this beautiful home!! Enjoy

Perfect Beach Vacation
We loved this property for our party of 14. It’s a quick 5 minute walk to the beach. The pool and hot tub were fantastic. Our whole family, ages 8 to 71, enjoyed shuffleboard, pool and arcade games. With the age of our teenagers, 8 master bedrooms was awesome as everyone had their own space. Kitchen was well equipped and management company was responsive. They fixed the pool heater and internet during our stay. Highly recommend!

There was enough space to spend time together or you could go to another level if you wanted to relax. The elevator was awesome as we had a couple people who couldn’t walk up all the steps. There were shops & things to do close by which was nice. Would highly recommend this house to everyone!

Cockroaches!!
At first, our experience was great. The host quickly answered our request for early check-in and let us in about 2 hours early. The first night we were shocked to see a few LARGE roaches crawl out from under the fridge at about 11PM with all the lights on!! We caught one and disposed of it (Because we googled it and you're not supposed to crush them), but the other escaped. Later that night we saw a baby one crawl up the ship lap wall and hide in between the boards. We googled the baby one and saw that they take 30 days to get from the larvae stage to baby stage so these cockroaches had been there a while. I contacted the property manager the next day and was told they would "bring some spray" to us. They never showed up. Each of the next few days we were told something else; they were reaching out to their pest removal service, they were too busy for an appt today and finally they wouldn't be able to make it this week. On night number two, got our own spray and we sprayed under the kitchen appliances so we could have some piece of mind (there are bedrooms on the first floor where people were supposed to sleep!!). We were left to fend for ourselves with the roaches so we tried to mitigate the issue by doing several things throughout our stay (too many to list). In the end, the mgt team did nothing during our stay and offered us $200 for the "inconvenience". I think this was a known issue because of the laid-back way the mgt team treated our concerns!
