The only reason I'm not giving it a 5 star is the linen situation. There's an additional fee for linens, so we pay for it but the beds are not made and expecting the guests to put on the linens ourselves. As a guest who is renting a beach house for a getaway the last thing i want to do is put sheets on all beds. It would have been nice if they were already on. Other than that the house layout was perfect, house was very clean and location was perfect.

Best house on the beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is perfect in every way. The kitchen is great if you want to cook and the porches are wonderful for sitting and relaxing. The beds are comfortable and the whole house is modern and clean. The location could not be any better. Clear view of the beach and it sits on an access road. We have only gone in the off season and it is very quite then. It can be foggy, cloudy and rainy in February, but we had a great time, nonetheless.

Great House/Location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great experience at 2 Cool Livin! The location and beach access were very convenient! The beach wasn't too busy when we were there. The house was very clean and nice! I had to call a couple of times for more info and for maintenance and we got quick service. The only con was that they should have been more clear on the room layout for one of the bedrooms. On the bedroom that has 2 queen beds, its not private at all. The room is behind a basically half wall that is open to the upstairs hallway and across the hall from the bunk room. The wall doesn't go all the way up or down and just has a small saloon style swinging door. This was not ideal for my family as we had a baby that slept in there and it was loud. Also note, if you buy the linen package, they drop them off in bags which means all of the beds have to be made. The comforters/decorate pillow cases were there when we arrived and we had to "make" the beds when we left (without linens) which means they were not washed in between guests. I would recommend bringing blankets for the beds and not using the comforters/pillows that already have cases on them that are in the room when you arrive. Other than that we had no complaints. We would definitely stay there again!

Great Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is large and in a perfect location. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. My only complaint is the house could have been cleaner as the floors needed sweeping and mopping and the rugs are in need of cleaning. We paid extra for linens and were given plenty of towels and washcloths. Check in and checkout was easy and having a noon check-in is nice.

Amazing Location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have an awesome time and the house and location was great. My only negative, more towards management procedures, is the fact that the house does not provide liens. We rented two houses for this trip one came with everything we needed and this one we had to pay extra for liens, which is not what you expect when renting a vacation home as you expect to have everything there. On top of it all, the liens were placed in the living room and all beds had to be made once we showed up. Not ideal when this is a business trip and your bringing customers to stay.
