Great location
When we arrived. We’re not able to check in to 45 minutes after the check-in time because the Cleaning Service was still there cleaning . The property management team was unaware. I did let them know and the Cleaning Service did drop off a gift card two days later for us.The house is in a great location very big and spacious for anyone to use one thing we did not like there was a lot of fruit flies in the kitchen that we could not get rid of the whole entire week.The hot tub was very clean and someone even came to clean it during our stay.I would stay here again hoping the fruit flies would be gone on our next visit and we’re able to check in on time.

Great house for family fun. Great location. Good layout downstairs for gathering. Large deck - could use more seating but we made it work! We stay at VRBO’s around the world so we understand different places have different supplies. This place has starter kit of most things but you’ll want to bring your own supplies. Rooms upstairs are great! Dock is fun; sea life right there! Sunset is the best. We will be back!!

Perfect getaway
The house was better in person than in the pictures. It’s a great location within the town and is walking distance to a lot of places. My husband and I stayed with our son and his three friends and there was plenty of space for us to all spread out. The outdoor space and dock are great for hanging out and water access. The hosts are quick to respond and answered all of our questions. Highly recommend!

Great house, needs maintenance
Our group of coworkers stayed for two weeks. The house and property are great, but things like kitchen cabinets need maintenance or repair - many cabinet doors were drooping or nearly falling off, the master toilet doesn't flush well, and some lights, notably the stove hood, didn't work. The house just needs a thorough going-over before it's in top condition.It also feels like the property management company is oddly and needlessly stingy: the heat is on a manual timer so it was always cold when we got home after a long day of work, there are no fitted sheets and the king flat sheets aren't big enough to tuck in; there were only a few dishwasher detergent tabs, a tiny sample container of dish soap, two sample laundry detergent packets, four kitchen trash bags, etc. Yes, I know these supplies aren't guaranteed by the hosts, but when we're paying many thousands a week, it would be nice to feel that the management appreciates our presence, rather than resenting spending just a few more dollars on consumables. I'm not here to steal or waste your dishwasher tablets, just leave the box instead of pulling out four.That said, it was a very comfortable stay and we had no actual problems on our work trip. There was always hot water, and the views absolutely can't be beat.
