We stayed at this lovely house for 6 days with a family of 12, comprised of 6 adults and 6 kids ranging from 6 months to 13 years old. We are VRBO “frequent flyers” and travel with this group at least once a year, so we have a pretty good gauge of what to expect in a VRBO house. This one was really great and we’d stay again in a minute.
We appreciate having details on where we’re staying, so here’s our “pros and cons” list. As you’ll see, the cons are pretty minor, but good to know ahead of time:
1. All 5 bedroom have a private bathroom which is hard to find. The bathrooms were well maintained and the beds were really comfortable. In addition 3 of the rooms had a balcony which was nice to relax on and we used then to watch the fireworks at night. . They also had plenty of storage for your cloths and gear. Really no cons.
2. The pool and hot tub were well maintained and a welcome break from the beach. The pool is actually smaller than the pictures appear (about 25x25) but still big enough for all of us. The pool area also has plenty of chairs and a nice table if you want to eat outside.
The only issue we had was when the maintenance crew came while we were at the beach and moved the grass, leaving lots of grass clipping in the pool.
3. The kitchen and eating area were large and well laid out. We always cook breakfast and dinner and the appliances were top of the line. The ice maker worked great and provided plenty of of ice for the beach. It was well stocked with enough equipment to cook for our big group with plenty of utensils.
Our only real con was the lack of supplies. We are used to VRBO’s that have more of the basics. They did supply a “starter” of paper products and soap, but we had to buy a lot of basic things that are normally supplied including shampoo, napkins, trash bags, coffee filters and salt & pepper. In addition, all food products from previous stays were removed, so the cupboards were completely bare. We’re used to finding things like catsup and mustard from previous stay, but there was absolutely nothing. That could have been from COVID-19 restrictions, but keep it in mind when you visit.
In addition, it’s the first time we’ve stayed somewhere that did not provide a hair dryer. At a beach location this is really a necessity. There also are no beach towels, so be sure to bring your own.
All in all, this is really a great house! Don’t hesitate to book it!
