Wonderful Stay!

My husband, son and I stayed at this beautiful property along with our dog. The home was beautifully decorated/designed. The home, especially the kitchen, was fully stocked with everything one would need. The elevator was an added perk for unloading and loading our belongings. The cleanliness of the home was great! The public beach access was very close, closer than it appears it the photos provided. We had to walk past 3 homes total to get to the beach access. With a young kid and lugging our belongings, it was an approximate 2-3 min walk. Highly recommend this location!

Family & Pet Friendly Oasis

The photos and description did not do justice for Hot Mess. We were closer to the beach than I thought and had wonderful views. The house, kitchen, beds and pool were all designed nicely and very comfortable. It made us feel at home. Loved that we had two decks (one with easy access for the dogs) and an elevator. The elevator made this trip possible for my mom and our senior dogs!

Hot mess is HOT!

Hot Mess is anything BUT a hot mess! If perfection were possible in a vacation rental, this would take the prize. Everything about the process was seamless, from the rental, communication with the manager down to the property itself. Location was perfect, less than a block to multiple beach accesses to a beach that was NEVER crowded. There was a lot of thought and care that went into preparing the home for renters: as a pet friendly home, there was a crate, dog bowls, etc for the family pet; laundry baskets in each bathroom, towels a plenty with a nice basket of pool towels as you head out the door to the pool; coffee bar on middle floor; kitchen was stocked like being in your own house with an assortment of pots, utensils, bowls, etc including ziploc bags, aluminum foil, etc which seems such a small thing, but are things that you don't have to pack or purchase! We were even greeted with a welcome box of savory treats! The property was immaculate, very well decorated and very inviting for its guests. Bedrooms and bathrooms allowed for privacy for all, but kitchen/dining/living area and decks allowed for gathering. The elevator was a bonus allowing us to lug groceries/ luggage up and down levels with ease. Our family of 6 plus our furry friend loved everything about it. Teresa (property manager) communicated promptly with us and was responsive to even the quirkiest of our inquiries. We would highly recommend this property! Come prepared to be spoiled!
