The property was lovely. The house really nice. Mattresses were cozy. The outside spaces were absolutely pristine and a pleasure to be in. Inside we had plenty of space for our family, parents, brother and dog. Hot tub was amazing. A few small things were immediately fixed by the host including running out a new stand up paddle board paddle and some new wax for the shuffleboard table.

Safety concerns
We were really looking forward to this stay, but unfortunately there were several serious concerns that made the experience disappointing and unsafe.Upon arrival, we found a large, active beehive on the property. I was stung during the stay, which caused my foot to swell significantly and made it difficult to enjoy the trip. The property also had cut pieces of pressure-treated wood left in the fire pit, which is extremely unsafe to burn due to the release of toxic chemicals. These issues raised real safety concerns.Additionally, there was an old, fragile wooden box that partially broke after I simply placed some items on it. It was not labeled as decorative or fragile, nor did it seem functional. I treated the property with care and left it clean and in good condition.Despite this, the host messaged me after the trip with accusations of damage and mess, which I believe are unfounded and unfair. I feel the host’s focus should have been on ensuring the property was safe and properly maintained for guests.I’ve raised these concerns directly with Vrbo, as I don’t believe the listing reflected the reality of the property’s condition. Also due to do all the safety concerns we actually left a day early

Great communication from the owners and a really nice property. Lots of space in the house and the grounds are beautiful. About a 5 minute drive to a lovely beach. We’d definitely come back!
