The apartment was listed as having a large patio or porch and appeared very light and airy. However, when we arrived on Thursday, we were greeted with a back-room apartment that was dark, got very limited light, and was surrounded on both sides by narrow alleys and large buildings. The so-called large porch or patio was actually a small patio (approximately 9 by 15 feet, surrounded by a black painted fence approximately 5 feet tall, and looked directly at the concrete wall behind the fence. Almost immediately when we arrived, we called the host and told them that apartment did not look like the one that was advertised in the advertisement on VRBO. At that time we were informed that yes, we were correct and that she would call marketing and tell them to correct the advertisement, which they did. We asked to be moved to another unit and informed that person that we would even agree to pay more if necessary to be relocated. However, despite the admittedly misleading advertising, they said they could not move us. (While they never offered, a refund would not have worked since we were traveling from the DC area with no other place to stay.) You will see from the pictures that we upload that the rooms were dark and we needed to keep the lights on when in the apartment. The bedrooms, living room and kitchen all had views only of the alley and three story houses on each side except that the lr had a view of the small porch and back fence. More to say but not enough room.

If you want a simple place close to the beach this is it. The property had some construction next door that started early. There was some work materials in our courtyard and you could hear people upstairs. Overall, did the job!

It was fine
Overall the place was clean and good for what we wanted…..we planned on being at the beach everyday and just needed a place to lay our heads. The weather wasn’t that great, so we spent a lot more time inside than expected. The property itself was fine other than a few outlets that didn’t work, the light above the stove was broken, and the lighting in the house (kitchen/living area) isn’t great. We knew we were getting a small place to stay and it was clean and cute.
But the thing that really made our stay not the greatest was the people upstairs walking around that first morning at 6:30 am in what I can only describe as high heels. Then the next morning someone was moving out upstairs at 7:30 am and it was just loud - the best is the dolly that smacked every single stair as it was going down - this went on for hours. And to top it off, the unit right next us was being demoed - they had a lumber delivery at 7:30am and then proceeded to stand on the second floor demolishing the place, and then throw things into a dumpster below them…it was so loud! It would have been nice to know beforehand that there was going to be construction happening five feet from where we slept or that the people directly above us would be moving out while we’re were staying there.
We finally got to sleep in that last full day of our stay.
So the property itself was fine. It was everything else around us that wasn’t that great.

Left feeling disappointed
It was somewhere to sleep, nothing special. We struggled to find which apartment out of the 3 when we arrived, it’s pretty hidden in the back and behind an unmarked gate. Less than the basic amenities were offered, the beds were not very comfortable despite what the reviews say, we were not happy with them. There was hair all over the bathroom walls and shower walls when we arrived. There was toothpaste all over the bathroom sink faucet on the handles, under the handles which is gross. It’s on a Main Street and pretty loud starting early in the morning to later in the evening, there were neighbors outside on their phone shouting, I could hear laundry going on as if it were in the room and there were definitely kids above us running around at all times if the day and night. Other places I’ve booked on Vrbo have had a pamphlet or binder of local attractions, and this one did not. It must be a Vrbo thing but I would expect that I wouldn’t have to do dishes and take out trash while I’m on vacation, that’s what I assumed the large cleaning fee is for when I booked. I could have stayed in a hotel for cheaper and received basic amenities, better parking, cleaning and probably breakfast included.

Fantastic Bedrooms!!!
We rented this house, #B, to host thanksgiving for the parents. It was the perfect size for a 5 person gathering. The distance to the beach was perfect, the house was clean, we had everything we needed. I love that the beds in both bedrooms were king size, its rare to find that in a VRBO. The beds were comfortable, as well as the pillows. The bathroom has a door that goes outside and the coolest thing was there is a shower outside that door to wash the sand off of you. Overall great stay and we would stay there again.

Great Location and Property
Our family of four had a wonderful stay. Amazing location to both the beach and the bay. The house had everything we needed and was very clean. It got a little noisy on weekend nights but everyone seems to abide by the noise curfew so it didn’t keep us up. Pay attention to the size restrictions on the parking spot. Our small SUV was a VERY tight fit.
