Great Stay!

Overall, we had a fantastic stay! The property was close to the beach and the location was close to town and things to do. The house was clean and check in and out process was easy. The only thing (and this is totally minor and just personal preference) was if the sheets were a bit thicker. We would definitely stay here again!

Somewhat disappointed

Property needed freshened up, kitchen table was knicked & grimy, furniture needed cleaned also. Would have liked a crockpot, and basic supplies, ie; salt & pepper, & extra toilet paper. Location was nice! Air conditioner needed service but was fixed quickly while we were there. All in all we had a great time.

Disliked: Cleanliness

TERRIBLE- Don’t waste your money!

To start off, this property was extremely dirty! Bugs in beds, bugs in kitchen, carpet is filthy! The water pressure is terrible. We couldn’t use the upstairs showers when someone was showing downstairs. So paying for a place with 3 bathrooms was pointless. The toilet downstairs kept clogging. Not enough towels and took forever to get more because the property manager was terrible at communicating. Besides utensils, the kitchen contains the bare minimum. No small sundries supplied like a lot of other rentals. The pictures on the VRBO site are obviously old because the place is much more worn. When concerns were expressed to management company they only offered to return cleaning fee. Concerns brought to VRBO but they weren’t much help either since all they were doing was emailing the management company and not getting any response. Overall terrible property and terrible experience with VRBO!

Family beach retreat

Overall, we had a fabulous 3 days. The weather cooperated during our stay and the house was very comfortable for how many people we had-10 in all. The TV in the living area was pixelated and hard to watch but we didn’t spend a lot of time inside anyways.

Beach Birthdays

Our birthday cruise was cancelled two weeks before Spring break and we had to quickly find something to do. Searching online we decided on this vacation home because it could easily accommodate our large group. We enjoyed the beach and the home. Only issue we had was one cable box was not working properly, but that didn’t stop our fun! Definitely recommend this home.

Spring break stay

My family enjoyed our stay at this property! It's a great location, convenient location. The house was very roomy and easily accommodated our group. Overall the house was pretty clean. We appreciated the kitchen having everything that we needed. We had some issues with the water pressure when multiple showers were being used and some of the remotes didn't have batteries but no big issues. At one point our door code stopped working but we called in and it was reset immediately. Great customer service.. We look forward to renting again

Larger house with plenty of space

It was perfect for my large group of friends, plenty of dishes and space for everyone. Walking distance from the beach, just across the street. Only thing to note is you will have to pack your own toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bag- they only supply one of each and with a large group that kinda stuff goes fast.
