Beach Trip

The countertop toaster over does not work , and the ice maker will not dispense the ice. The thermostat not being able to go below 70 degrees was disappointing as we like our thermostat set to 66degrees. I don’t feel it’s right to have guests take out the trash. Other than that, the beach house is very nice, and the stay was enjoyable.

Much needed family getaway

The house had a smokey smell upon arrival, throw pillows could use a washing, grass can use a cut, but the overall appearance, location, space, and quality of the home was wonderful. Great choice for my familys getaway to enjoy ourselves. Will most definitely look into booking again in the future or referring to others. Thank you!!!!

Nice!

This property was very nice! Excellent location, easy walk to the beach. Important to note: this property did not offer coffee amenities, bottled water, salt, pepper, hair dryer, beach chairs, or beach towels. While there are appliances for coffee, you must bring in all the fixings. We enjoyed our stay and found the property very comfortable and accomodating.

Beach trip June 2023

Property was beautiful. However it was not clean. Refrigerator has food left in it and was filthy. Pans in kitchen cabinets were dirty. Bedsheets and quilts had blood stains. Animal hair was on bed and other furniture There is a rancid smell in the lazy Susan corner cabinet. Sinks in Bathrooms slow draining, had to purchase drain-o and other cleaning supplies in order to clean. We had to wash the sheets and cleaned the icebox, drain-o'd the sink and washed pans. Cleaning staff did a very poor job. On top of that power was out for over 8 hours on two days, we realize this was not your fault l, but made for a difficult trip.

It was two families making a total of 9 of us. Let me tell ya, we NEVER once felt cramped or like we were on top of each other. This property is spacious and allows everyone a place to sit and be without feeling crowded. Our next vacation we will definitely be checking to see if this property is available again.

The house was great except the air conditioning was not that great.

Our guest complained that it was too hot to sleep. They had to sleep without covers. Kinda smelled like moth balls. But other than that it was great. Beautiful home and great location.

CHECK YOUR BED SPREADS!

After getting settled into the property my mother in law sat down on the king bed and got a piece of glass stuck in her finger and took the bed spread off to see what cut her and noticed old blood on the blanket. We had to wash them and they came out (So clearly the cleaning people don’t clean). The cabinets had a funky smell but it was easy access to the beach. Besides that it was nice. The cleaning people needs to step it up.

We loved this house

Very clean, spacious and accommodating. We loved that the house had plenty of towels, extra pillows and blankets and plenty of spaces to sleep. There were two different kind of coffee makers for those that like Kuerig, or an old fashioned pot of coffee. Location was also great!!! We were near everything we needed in town!

This house was very clean and tidy. While it is only two bedrooms, it felt much larger than some 3 bedroom cabins we have rented. The location is great! One of our favorites and would definitely stay here again.
