Worst stay ever!!!
Upon our arrival from Dallas we already experienced a long tiring drive coming through a storm. When arriving at 12:45/1 am we just wanted to shower and rest. When looking in the bathroom there was mold all around the shower curtains and scum on the linings. Upon checking the beds the linen was full of pet hair (which I am highly allergic)and looks like what could have been fleas. When calling the number that was provided understandably the host was resting. However, not at any point was a solution provided. We left the property and went and purchased a room at Holiday Inn Express and had to spend additional money. Upon trying to reach the host the next day, I was repeatedly sent to vm. The house keeper reached out and asked for videos in which I sent. When asking were the videos received and what were the next steps, she responded and stated the host would be contacting me. Never heard back. Today is now Sunday 5/18 and still no response from the host. When calling I was again sent to vm. My friend called and he answered stating we would received a call back on Monday. Not only was our girls trip interrupted by this inconvenience but we also lost rest and had to spend more money.

Couldn’t have been better!
My husband and I had a great time. We recently had our 4th babygirl and a vacation was much needed. We celebrated with our brothers and sisters. The property has everything we needed, it was super cute on the inside and especially outside. It was in a perfect location and I would stray there again.

Beautiful House, close to the seawall
The house was beautiful. It is off a very busy street and there is no parking, They expect you to park in the street. There is no designated area to park either. The house is on the corner so it is right at a stop sign, so that limits parking in front of it. There is a very small driveway on the side, that I can barely fit my jeep wrangler in. People park beside the house and again a very busy street. They have a side yard that they could very easily make in to parking. I would stay here again if they resolved the parking issue but unitll then it would be a no!

The house was comfortable, beautifully decorated. Location was ideal for the seawall, and a short drive to The Strand. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit!

Cute House but Neighborhood
The house was cute an our mini vacation but upon arrival I noticed the house was not clean. They never cleaned before our arrival and the prior guest left several notes letting us know about all the issues they had with the house. One of the pillows has a blood stain the restrooms where not clean at all. The linen on the beds were not switched around and the floor were dirty. I immediately called and no answer but I did leave a voicemail. Within 20 minutes I was contacted by the cleaning company and they apologized for the inconvenience. They did send someone out to come clean the house. The young lady was very nice and professional. She took care of the house and was very apologetic. The house was overall good for what we needed. The neighborhood was a little sketchy since part of the house looked like someone’s car hit the left side of the house. There was a car broken into across from the house. The house does offer a one car garage that will fit a small car or small SUV. Parking is limited in the area so be careful if you park outside. Overall there are plenty of good food and places around the neighborhood. Close to the beach and plenty of choices for shopping.
