Beautiful location
The house was very well kept, although there was a little trouble with the basement shower having a slow drain. However, that didn’t harm the trip. The views of the natural beach park land were lovely and the neighborhood was quite so we could really enjoy the stars at night. Access to the multiple fishing piers was also such a nice surprise.

Not Very Clean
The floors/rugs and furniture were dirty. The babies had black knees and feet 5 minutes of crawling on the floor. We sent pictures of the dirty floors and furniture to the host. They offered to have their team come and clean again, however, we had a large group and didn't want to disrupt them. There is a well equipped kitchen - however the cupboards were dirty with food spills, etc. and some of the dishware had chips and cracks. The property did have plenty of linens for bathing. The property does not have any beach items such as chairs, umbrellas, etc. There is ample space/bedding for a large group.

Great location with some issues
We have stayed in dozens of beach rentals, mainly in California and Hawaii. The house was spacious with plenty of room for our family. It’s a very short walk to a great beach, especially for children, and has a fantastic community pool. The home had a nice, well-equipped kitchen that had everything we needed expect a pizza pan or cutter. However, we were disappointed to find a broken garbage disposal and ice maker on arrival. While this happens, it took 3 calls over 3 days to get a host response to address this. On day 3 someone came out but was unable to do repairs. While complicated repairs or replacements may not be possible on short notice, the lack of host response is new for us. The house was generally clean except for dusting. There were large dust balls in the loft a layer of dust throughout the house (fireplace mantel, windowsills). Among the many beach homes we have rented this is the first that had no beach amenities, such as beach towels. You will need to bring these as well as chairs, umbrellas, toys or other beach items. There was also no hair dryer. We have given almost every beach rental we’ve stayed at a 5 rating; this one is well below that due mainly to poor host response and somewhat to dust and lack of some amenities that we have come to expect with other similar beach rentals we’ve stayed at.

Beach days
This is a great place to gather with family. The beaches were beautiful. The park was walking distance. So many great restaurants nearby. My adult children live 3000 miles apart and this spot was the perfect place to relax and reconnect.
