Upon entering there was a musty smell that lingered around the stairwell area our entire stay. However, the house appeared quite clean. There were a handful of dirty dishes in the cabinets which forced us to wash almost everything before we used it. We discovered the dishwasher soap drawer was not working properly. According to an old review, that has been the case for over two years. As long as you throw the soap pod into the dishwasher (as recommended) there is no problem. Check-in and check-out were both super easy. Communications was quick. We loved the proximity to the beach! An easy walk. The couches were quite comfortable for relaxing in the evening. Beds were adequate. Only one kitchen towel provided which.

Great Beach Access!
This house is located very close to the beach and an easy walk! Even though it is not a view free of obstacles, there are some beautiful glimpses of the beach and water! The house was well appointed and the pool was clean and fun. We paid extra to heat the pool and that was a game changer since the early April mornings are cool. Any issues were handled quickly except for a refrigerator that had a broken water line. They sent a repair tech who could not fix it for our stay so we had to go buy ice and water. There was nothing but an “I’m sorry”from the management company. There are beach towels and chairs there and it would have been nice to know that before we hauled ours from GA. It was chilly and there are no blankets in the house. We considered buying some blankets to make do. There are also no extra bath towels in the house. You could have had some extra towels in the laundry room with the beach towels which were plentiful. All in all, good house for our generational gathering! Thanks!!

A little oasis just seconds away from the beach!
This house had everything we needed for a great weekend getaway. The view from the top is great. The house is not too big and not too small. It was just perfect. Hosts are quick to respond to questions, and check in and check out was easy.

Just Crabulous
House was wonderful. Great location. Directly across from beach access and the third floor balcony was perfect for listening to the waves crash both morning and night.
Holly was amazing and her communication was top notch. With the super hot temperatures, the AC can work on overdrive at any condo/house. When we discovered the upstairs unit stopped working, Holly had their HVAC contact at the house within the hour, a new thermostat was installed, and we were good to go.
The grill was also on its last leg. When Holly called me the next day to check on the AC and make sure we were good, I mentioned it just to let her know, and to my surprise, maintenance was at the house and determined a new grill was the fix.
Just a wonderful experience that you don’t often find these days. I would definitely recommend this house for a large family that needs their space too. 🙃

A very nice place
Pros: This is a very nice house and only 20 yards away from the nearest beach access. The beach itself is very nice, clean, and not overly crowded. The house was clean and the TVs were good quality. The kitchen had all of the necessary items needed to prepare meals. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space for the 7 adults and 4 children. It's also less than a quarter of a mile away from a wonderful local restaurant, Schooners, which is on the beach. The street doesn't have much traffic and cars seemed to go by slowly.
Cons: Unfortunately, the house next to this one (which is about 4' apart and owned by a different rental company) was rented to a group of college boys on spring break. Most of the time it seemed as though there were close to 20 of them in the house. We dealt with ridiculously loud music, continuous screams of profanity, firecrackers at 1:00 am, and beer cans rolling under the fence (to name a few) for the majority of the week. Holly (an employee for our house) was awesome to work with and tried her best to fix the situation, but there was only so much she could do.

Great location - low on amenities
The location is perfect. You can’t beat the short walk to the beach and some local bars and restaurants. However the family felt like some amenities were lacking here. We flew in from another state. There was no beach gear at all at the house. There was also no outside shower. The only hose to wash off was located at the front of the house and you were still forced to walk to the back of the house to access the pool. It was nearly impossible to not track sand into the house or pool. There were also no rugs inside the main doors so we were forced to wipe off with our towels which was difficult. The appliances did not seem to work properly. The dishwasher would not dispense the soap properly so dishes would not get clean. The dryer also seemed not to work so well, it took an entire day to dry 3 loads of laundry. There were also no spices (no salt or pepper) in the house so it made cooking more difficult for those that flew in seeing as we couldn’t leave any food there at the property when we left. Seemed to be wasteful. Again, the location was amazing and the house was beautiful. We had an amazing time. Just wanted to provide a realistic preview for those traveling in from out of state so they can be better prepared in what to expect.
