Disliked: Cleanliness
We were very disappointed with our stay due to serious discrepancies between the listing and the actual condition of the property. Most notably, the listing showed and described the second-floor primary suite as having both a king and queen bed, which was one of the main reasons we chose this home for our family. Upon arrival, this was not the case, which caused major issues for our co-sleeping arrangement with our toddlers.The property had a strong musty odor throughout, and the presence of several dirty, rusted fans in each bedroom raised concerns about ventilation and whether the home could be properly cooled. In general, the home showed signs of wear and poor maintenance: broken baseboards, damaged trim, rusted air vents, painted-over outlet covers, and heavy-handed paint used in place of proper repairs.Communication and support were incredibly frustrating. We discovered the property had changed management multiple times (Vrbo, iTrip Vacations, and 360 Blue). When we reached out to 360 Blue with concerns, including trash bins that were full upon arrival and never emptied as scheduled, we received delayed, unhelpful responses. Vrbo support ultimately told us they no longer managed the property and offered no assistance.This trip was booked months in advance for a birthday celebration, and we were hoping for a relaxing beachfront vacation. Despite the ideal location, the condition of the property and the lack of accountability fell far short of expectations.

Perfect Beach Cottage

Everything about this beach cottage was great. I had to do some of the dishes when we got there and the couches have definitely seen better days but its a rental and that is to be expected. The views make up for any of my OCD issues and we will definitely be back.

5/5 Star Experience

My family and I stayed at Sunrise Cottage for the week of Christmas and the experience was excellent, just as advertised, and we would definitely come back again. The host was very responsive when answering our questions. The house was fantastic with being right on the beach with amazing views and walking distance to restaurants/shops. We would definitely recommend this house for anyone that enjoys the beach life and we plan on coming back again in the future.

Amazing views!

The property is a beautiful beachfront and main room as well as upstairs master suite has incredible beach views from all angles. Kitchen was well appointed, and the decor was just beautiful, the opposite of the usual “beach kitsch” one finds at beach rentals. Comfy king beds, nice TV,s lots of chairs and toys for beach. Whenever we texted property mgmt, replies were super fast and helpful. 5 stars all the way!

Great location

We were there for our wedding and had friends and family in town. Thankfully, hurricane Helene didn't bother us.... The location was great! The beach is beautiful. The decks were big for sitting outside. The house was cute but is showing age and wear and tear especially for the price (which I think was off season at the end of September). The main deck was rough and the exterior doors.

Family vacation

Overall, our stay was good. We loved being on the beach! The umbrella and chair service was incredible. The neighborhood was nice. I wish there were a few more amenities in the area. There were some Small things about the house that need attention. The hose on the deck coming up from the beach is in horrible condition. You basically have to try to rinse your feet off from a break in the hose. The pillows were pretty bad. As with most rentals, pans are really bad. But the kitchen was nice otherwise. Really good appliances. The upstairs master bedroom gets incredibly hot. I would definitely keep the shades drawn all day long.

Excellent Location, but other issues

You cannot beat the location of the property! You step out the back door, across the deck, and your toes are in the sand! The house is very well appointed, and the king size bed was very comfortable. We had a few minor issues when we arrived that the holiday properties tended to rather quickly. The main issue that was never resolved was the hot tub. It was dirty upon arrival - murky water and sand in the bottom. The property management said someone would be out the next day to clean it. It still was not clean when the 2nd(or3rd) guy came out. The water was also cold. The worker said he had reported that the hot tub wasn't working over a week before our visit. I spoke with the "operations manager" at the property management company and he said he would personally be out to make sure it was working properly. He did not come by, and it never worked the entire time we were there. A hot tub is an added extra that many people(myself included) look for when renting a property. The weather would have been perfect to enjoy it throughout the week. As for the house itself, as I mentioned location, location, location! However certain expectations come along with renting a nice ocean front house. The bent curtain rods and cheap shades in the master bedroom could certainly use an update. All this being said, I plan to visit this area again. I wouldn't rent this house again if it were managed by the same company. Tommie

Great Location, but a few things.....

Overall good house and amazing location...literally on the beach, walkable to restaurants, shops Here are the cons for the price... 1. You can assume folks are traveling so not including beach towels is not ideal 2. Beach chair and umbrella rental NOT included. It absolutely should be!!! 3. You are on a private beach BUT this rental does not "do something" so anyone can sit in front of, beside and behind you while others around you will NOT have that experience 4. Absolutely NO beach toys, rafts, "stuff" to use 5. In the summer if you require one week rentals, MINIMAL dishwasher liquid, laundry detergent, soap, paper towels, toliet paper, garbage bags is NOT feasible. It is not enough! 6. The plants by the front stairs need to be cut back. 7. The hose to wash feet from beach is falling apart. 8. The gate code provided was wrong. We called the mgmt company multiple times. Told us the code was rt. It was not. A neighbor saw us struggling and told us the code. The only way we got in. Overall it is a good house, amazing location as you are rt on beach and close to shops BUT(and a big but) for the price the little things I mentioned above make a BIG difference and make you want to come back and tell others all about it!

Family trip

Great location! Amazing views. Dulce vida is the place to rent you chair set up. Use the credit that comes with the house for back pack chairs or bon fire. The only three complaints I have about the house are the smoke alarm went off if you cooked on the stove top at all in the house. The gate code was wrong to enter the neighborhood. We had to ask the car behind us for it because the management company kept saying their number was right. Lastly, the mattresses need pads or new mattresses. Some of them were terribly hard. None of that would keep me from renting again though. The location makes it worth any headache. And we aren't too high maintenance. Just an older home that's been updated so just know expectations are everything. Overall a great stay

Family Beach Trip

The location of this house was perfect! Especially with young kids it was easy to go back and forth without too much effort. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the information about the rental credit was a little misleading. To use it for beach chair service we didn't realize you could only use it at the nearby public beach which is VERY crowded. Once we figured this out we tried using the credit for a kayak rental and was never able to confirm with the rental company which was frustrating. Overall this home was fantastic and we will definitely be back!
