An amazing view of the beach. The sunrise and sunset were amazing to watch at the balcony. There was a tiny issue with roaches, but other than that , everything was clean and comfortable. Will definitely be back !

Extra charge for the bed sheets

Despite a great feedback, I assume extra charge for the bed sheets will be adversely affected on your service and I would suggest not to exclude the charge when you breakdown the service costs. Thank you!

A whole flying ants army in the upstairs bedrooms and front door. It was a great home to recommend to friend and family if there were NO bugs issue. However, we are hesitate to recommend due the bug issues.

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: Very Comfortable, great amenities and close to everything. Beach was fun, but teribbly dirty. Allot of plastic and trash. They did clean the Beach Monday and Tuesday, much better after that. House was great, was in clean condition when we arrived and we left it in that condition as well. The Windows were not shut all the way, during a storm water leaked in through the downstairs from windows and door. We were able to close the windows another inch and get them to seal shut. This also helped cool the house, first night or two was warm because of the humid air coming through the windows. Once we closed them the house cooled right down. Loved the house and the folks running the management Co. Was very close to the Big Store, everything we forgot was available there, great place.

Great Beachfront Property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Stayed here with 12 adults and 6 kids ages 5 and under. Overall the house was great and was clean and as described, however, the kitchen was seriously lacking in dishes and other basic items. 75% of the cabinets were empty. There was also a ton of sand underneath the house. I've stayed in many beachfront properties and never seen sand under a house like this - I'm not sure if this is something housekeeping usually cleans up and it was missed, or if the sand is there because the dunes are almost gone. Either way, the space in the house was great and I would recommend this rental to others.

Awesome beachfront beach house!

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: Our family vaca with 10 people! The house is located on a busy area on weekends, but the week days were perfect! It's located right on the beach. So convenient! Don't even need a golf cart to bring things. It was clean and in order. I suppose the cabin is new because some of the bedroom shades had not been installed yet! Also we were disappointed that the fence had fallen down. That might of happened because of the last hurricane. We immediately had to go to the store for hand soap, toilet paper, and dish soap's. There is only 6 wine glasses, so we purchased some for the cabin. Only 10 plates for a a house that sleeps 16. I just list these thins in case the owner is unaware. It's a great spacious cabin, wonderful beachfront! A perfect family home!
