My New Favorite!
This place is absolutely amazing. Clean, comfortable and views that you can't beat. We loved our week long stay here and everyone agreed, this is our new favorite beach house to stay at. We will be back to visit here again.

Good bones for a great stay
The view from the deck and main living area of the property is great! The pool is nice and large & two outdoor showers make it easier to keep sand out of the house. Loved having the lifeguard tower on the beach right in front of the property. The kitchen is stocked with cookware and there family board games and smart TVs for entertainment. Similar big complaint as everyone else - I would contract with a new cleaning company. The rugs in the living areas look like they have never been vacuumed, and could use a good cleaning or replacement & we had to rewash two sets of sheets on beds that were supposed to be clean but did not appear to be - it was off putting, but not a dealbreaker.

Awesome location - house needs some TLC
We had a great stay, but the property needs some TLC / updating and is in desperate need of a deep cleaning. The real estate company that manages this property, Beach Realty, needs to pay more attention to the details with cleanliness and house needs.

Family vacations are the best.
The house was awesome. Big enough for my whole family and then some. The kitchen was well stocked. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all very clean. The basement was very nice and we utilized the pool table and mini kitchen. The private swimming pool was awesome. The gates locked properly so our little ones could not get into the pool area without an adult.
We enjoyed our stay at Twisted Fish and would def book it again.
My only suggestions would be to have a few more baby gates available to block off the stairs. Also the ground floor door needed to have some sort of child proof door handle lock. We had one incident where our 2yr old was able to get the door open on his own and walk out side. Luckily we were right there to grab him and keep him from wondering around outside alone.

Wonderful potential, but cleanliness is a BIG problem
After booking with VRBO, your correspondence and contracting is all done through a different property management company, which was cumbersome and confusing.
The property has so much incredible potential and in an amazing location. The private pool and beach access is fantastic, and the size of the home and number of generously sized bedrooms is completely ideal for a family vacation, especially when looking for a private socially-distanced getaway. The cleaning and upkeep through the property management left MUCH to be desired, however.
The pool and private outdoor space had tons of trash/loose garbage and belongings from previous guests lying around and was in disarray. The grill was covered in filth (flies, old food, ants all over.)
There were concerning things in the home as well that we discovered along the way, that showed the house was not thoroughly cleaned (much less with the extra precautions the agency claims they are taking amid Covid.) Some areas were seemingly untouched. For instance, a bright red juice stain on the dining room table (we wiped up easily with a towel and water upon arrival) LOTS of black mold and mildew buildup in one of the bathrooms across the floor, shower stall, and shower curtain. Thick dust on all of the fans. But the most concerning were bugs! We had a number of roaches on the first and second day (large, flying kind) and the management company had to send an exterminator to treat the home.
Lastly, the dirty linens from the previous week's guests sat in bags and bins outside by the front door of the home throughout our entire stay and were never picked up for cleaning.
We would be very cautious to rent with anyone using this agency in the future.

Perfect for large group
When I first saw Twisted Fish listed it had no reviews and I was concerned since our last rental was a disaster and was told that is because it was under new management
So I need to write that it was GREAT!!
Two stoves, two refrigerators, two dishwashers, two washer/dryers and every kind of appliance etc you could think of
Lots of room to hang out inside and out on the two decks. Pool and hot tub
Just a short walk to the beach
We rented a tent and 6 chairs and a cooler of ice for the week from Beach EZ rental and it was a godsend
Needed propane in the grill and we were told to get one and they would reimburse us since it would take them longer than we needed it
They do provide some beach towels as well😎

Vrbo/Beach Realty
Was not happy with the fact that a realty company was the “owner” and that I had to pay fees to both vrbo and realty company. Confusing as to who I’m dealing with and no contact with actual owner of property for questions. As a result we packed way more than necessary
