Great get away

We rented this house for ourselves as well as my daughter and a few friends. It was perfect for our stay. The kids enjoyed making a fire on the beach just out front of the house

Great!!

This place ended up being better than the photos, it’s almost directly on the beach, everything worked fine and there was plenty of room for all 12 of us! The kids had a great time. I would recommend bringing a larger baby gate for the stairs if you have younger kids that was the only issue the stairs are steep and we had to make sure the babies weren’t going to fall, not the hosts fault though!

Disliked: Cleanliness

Disappointed ever after

Great location, the only reason for the 2 star rating. Place was dirty, bedding was filthy, pillows torn and mattresses stained, no mattress protectors, coffee pot was cracked, bath matts dirty, cockroaches in the kitchen and living room, slow spotty internet. Basic necessities, like dish soap, were missing. There was even graffiti on the dirty carpet. Pots and pans were barely useable. During a pandemic this is not an acceptable condition for a rental to be in. Also, arrived to a broken sewage pump which needed some smelly repairs. We would not stay again. Be ware they will nickel and dime you for every little thing.

Great location

Our family enjoyed this beach house a lot. House is in great condition and well maintained. Loved sitting on the balcony and having the beach directly in front of us. Only reason I didn’t give it a 5 Star is because we paid quite a bit for this house and there was a long list of cleaning that we had to do before we left. We also paid for linens and had to make our own beds when we got there. Also felt like the comforters were not freshly cleaned. But the house itself was beautiful and location was awesome!

Wonderful Time!

Our family of 8 enjoyed the stay tremendously! The home was open and spacious, and very clean. We brought food and enjoyed cooking in the large, spacious kitchen. The washer and dryer were invaluable in keeping clothes clean after playing at the beach. The Master bed was extremely comfortable memory foam king bed. Both bathrooms were large, spacious and very nice. The full beds were great for kids, but could be small for extra adults. And best of all, the view from the porch is outstanding! Plan staying here again!

I loved the view and the location but...

I did not enjoy the fact that the dish washe rleaked, the attachment to the sink was broken so when you tried to use the kitchen sink water sprayed everywhere. The door was very difficult to shut on the front of the house, the kids had to have assistance with it. I don’t want this review to be horrible we had a great time, the problems we had were just kinks in the place, we enjoyed our vacation and really Enjoyed our family time.
