Thanksgiving Blessing

We enjoyed this house very much. Beach walkover is a short walk away. The neighborhood is quiet and family friendly. The house was stocked with everything we could have needed. Lots of space, very clean and peaceful. My family felt very blessed during our Thanksgiving stay.

Would do it again

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very 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: We enjoyed the beach house and it was perfect for our needs. We were there for 10 days, so we needed the wi fi connection. My problem was that someone was there before us and stained the carpet, so the carpet was not clean. There were other problems, but Cobb Realty took care of them. Also, there was a lift and we were not allowed to use it because of liability. I understand, but I would have been willing to sign a waiver or pay a deposit. There were 4 of us, all around 70 years old, that had to lug everything up. But I loved the 2 living rooms, the kitchen and the deck. The view was great and easy access to the beach.

Great 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: Had a great stay at this house, with plenty of room for 10 people. House was well equipped, including things like condiments, TP, garbage bags, etc; stuff you often have to buy when renting a house. Place was very clean, and photos gave a true representation of the facilities. Would return again, but not in December...weather was brutal!!
