Feedback
When we checked in the house about 9 o’clock Thursday evening really notice match at the home the next morning we come downstairs and my two-year-old daughter comes running to me with water on her hands. That was actually sewage water. We go and look downstairs and the downstairs patio on the side of it. It is full of water and it is actually sewer water coming out of this sewer I called they sent out someone and all they did was pop it from one end of the ground to the other side of the property, we smelled nothing but sewer the entire time we were there we could not use all the amenities we could not go outside when we went outside. We had to leave the property because it smells so horrific. The problem is not fixed is still not fixed. Sewage is disgusting. My child could’ve gotten section if I didn’t notice when she put her hands that is feces, no one should be smelling it or be around it. Would like at least a refund or a credit for I stay somewhere else I stay on Kristovich a lot I’ve never had this problem. I’ve stayed in multiple properties. This property was the worst ever stayed the cleanliness underneath. Everything is not clean underneath the bed, I need the couches all of that was still filthy and disgusting.

Better then pictures
Was very pleased with the house. No direct beach access but not a far walk to get on. There was a lot of beach access point to drive on as well. Was very pleased with kitchen must haves. Lots of pots and pans, strainer, coffee pot and utensils.
There was no book and the tablet didnt work so there was no information about the house or beach access and turnkey was not very helpful when I called. Wifi was slow and most of the time wouldnt connect. We also could not get any of the TVs to work so thankful for downloads on the tablets for the kids.
The beach is amazing and loved that you can drive the car on it.ade it easy to get back and forth

Great beach house
We had a great stay. Only thing is that there was only one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, and there was very little detergent for the washer. We had 8 people so it would’ve been nice to do more laundry.

Great House
The kitchen had a few dirty pans and counters. Other than that the house was AMAZING! Nice view, and very spacious.
