Check in was great. Close to the beach and pet friendly. The pool was nice. It was cold and when we called, they thought it may be able to be heated for 300-400, but weren’t sure. The hot tub quit working and did not get repaired during our stay, even though we called immediately. Kitchen was well stocked. Our real issue was with the cleanliness of the house. The oven had liquid spillage in the bottom, fridge smelled like bleach, second floor carpet was soggy (they had a dehumidifier on that level, so a known issue.) and the table and counter tops had crumbs and food and hadn’t been wiped down from the previous guests. Bathrooms were all clean though. Also much of the furniture had not had a cloth touch anything but the top surface in years. A good deep clean at this property would benefit it tremendously.

Good, not great

Let me start by saying that my friends and I had an amazing vacation at The Looking Glass! The location was perfect, it had enough rooms for every couple, and had beautiful views of and access to the ocean. The check-in process was very easy and the property manager replied within minutes of me contacting them. I did read some reviews saying the AC was an issue, but the AC worked perfectly, even in the upstairs ship watch area. There were a few things that I did not like about the property though. The main living area smelled horribly of cat urine and I ended up buying tons of scent plug ins to cover up the smell. The house also was not stocked well at all. I have stayed in several vacation homes and I have never stayed in a house without basic things like toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies, etc. They did have a travel size dishwasher soap and a few bars of soap, but I spent a lot of money stocking the house myself for my guests. (I will add that there were tons of appliances though!) The house also seems extremely outdated for how expensive it is. I understand that the location probably has a lot to do with the pricing, but the house could use some upkeep (trash can drawer/compartment in kitchen broken and would not close, random sliding door laying on the balcony floor upstairs, unpleasant smelling carpet). Overall, I think this is a good place to stay if you are coming for a beach access home/vacation in a great location and do not mind stocking it yourself. Simple updates could make this a 10/10 in my opinion! Thank you for letting us stay and for the amazing memories we all shared here!

A lovely week at the beach

The Looking Glass was a fantastic house for our group for a week. The location is spectacular, the beach access was perfect, the decks to watch the sunrise were amazing. The pool being on the west side of the house (vs the east) was great, because the sun wasn’t obstructed in the afternoon. While the inside of the house was a little dated, that’s not why we came - we came for the location and experience and this house delivered.
