Don't expect much if you book this property.

Although fairly clean and in a good location to the beach and surrounding areas, this rental property is very no frills. It is lacking some very fundamental things you would expect at a rental house, especially one at the beach. Kitchen is very small, lacking things like a coffee maker. Very few dishes and silverware. The house offers nothing for the beach other than a private walkway t the sand. No umbrella, toys, chairs, wagon to pull your stuff that you had to bring or buy to use. Bathroom is small, shower door is very wonky, and the hot water lasts about 4-5 mins so don't expect to be able to take showers back-to-back or for any length. No extra blankets for the small bedrooms. Location wise - it is close to a lot of things: restaurants, shopping, etc. Beach is very nice...not too many shells so easy walking.

On the beach

Great location on the beach and walking distance to shopping and trolley stop. Unit needs a good cleaning and upgrade of appliances, and mattress replacement. Management responsiveness was very good.

Great location and place.

I’m giving the place 4 stars because there a few thing that could be added to make this place awesome! It only has 6 bath towels, and 3 beach towels. We had 5 guest and had to wash a load everyday. You just can’t keep the sand off everything. Also, they only give one roll of toilet paper, laundry soap, paper towels, and dish detergent. So you have to go to the store first thing of your vacation to make sure you don’t run out of toilet paper. Also, there are no mats to dry your feet off when you come in with freshly rinsed feet.

Fantastic Location!

Back door to water is literally 150 yards. The beach is quiet and beautiful! Just a very short walk to grocery, shopping and the best pizza in the island (Solo's). It is a nice cottage and the property management company was very responsive to the issues that came up. Great place to stay for our small family!

Great location

My family stayed in the unit for 8 nights during Christmas. The location is great. My family enjoyed the beach and seeing the sunset. The unit is clean. We can see the owner/property manager did some work recently to make it nicer. But there're still a few issues. First I arrived at night and the code I got from the email doesn't work. I have to call the on call number and got a different code which allowed me to enter the property. Note the on call number is not included the notification email. I'm glad I called the regular number a few days before arrive to get the on call number. Otherwise I could ended up not able to enter the property that night. There're a few issues like AC/Furnace not working, some kitchen lights not working. The hose in the back yard not working. These are actually fixed during my stay after I called the property management a few times.Still there're couple of things I think the property need to address: 1. The queen size bed in the master bedroom is very shaky and the mattress is really not good. I talked to the maintenance person and he said will need property owner to approve. I hope this can be taken cared of for future tenants. 2. The grill in the backyard are not in good shape. The maintenance person said they will get new ones. 3. I will suggest the property manager pub a welcome notes to give information around the local area. I had to call to find out which day to put out the trash. The weather is pretty nice during our stay but the water is too cold to swim. But that is not the fault of the property.

The what we expected in accommodations

When arrived to location with the driveway and yard was flooded from a earlier rain storm ( but water still was there when we left after only staying two of our three nights) we entered finding died worms at three door locations. First night heading to bed the frame broke and fell to the floor after several hours we manage to propped up the bed frame to laid down and finally fall asleep. There was wear on furnishings and house walls and floors in different areas. Few broken and rusted chairs outside. The bar-b-Q was falling apart and weathered. Pathway to the beach we had to remove and clean debris left from storms or just poor maintenance. The views and beach was great. Overall we should have ever give it a star, but we left a day early to the discomfort of the bed and just not pleased, the experience was unexpected associated with the cost we paid. We probably will not book another place till we are sure it is in a better condition. Jeff Sherron

Very nice place, but could have small improvements.

My family and I travel and stay in places like this a lot. Overall we loved this vacation and the accommodations were good, but there is room for improvement. Some of these may seem petty, but I would have appreciated a review highlighting the shortcomings we saw so here we go. Pros: Excellent location that is close to everything you need. The location is right on the beach, so after a short walk you can enjoy some of the most beautiful coast line Florida has to offer. The unit itself is very well kept, updated and clean. Everything worked and served us very very well for our time there. Cons: We had to buy stuff that you should never have to purchase when renting a place like this. We had to buy a broom and dust pan, salt and pepper, trash bags and toilet paper. These may seem small to some, but buying stuff that I have to leave behind because it wasn’t there in the first place is not acceptable. Now, we had one roll toilet paper when we arrived (for five people, for a week) but everything else was just not there. This may be an exception but I can not in good conscience leave anything higher than three stars as a result. Additionally, the pull out bed was adequate for my kids but forget about adults getting a good night sleep on it. I recognize this isn’t a totally fair criticism just because virtually no pull out sleeper sofa will be equal to a bed. If that were the only thing wrong, I probably wouldn’t have mentioned it at all, but in the whole scheme, it seems noteworthy. The queen size mattress in the back bedroom wasn’t flat, but had a big dip in the middle which led to my wife and I rolling to the center from either side. This isn’t a normal, small body impression either, it makes it very difficult for two adults to get any sleep because you are constantly rolling inward. Unfortunately as a result of these things, I would hesitate to recommend it or stay there again. To reiterate; this may not be the rule but an exception. The place in and of itself is located perfectly and was a very nice place to stay. It may seem petty, but I am not accustomed to having to buy this type of thing when I stay somewhere.
