It was clean and comfortable but needs work. WiFi was terrible. Cables hanging out of the wall and an unsecured back plate. Shower curtain rod coming loose on one side. TVs didn’t all work or incomplete instructions left. A call about the WiFi was unaddressed. Things were not in a logical place. Nothing was labeled (light switches). Not well appointed. We’ll find a different place if we go back.

I cannot believe this property ever received less than five stars. Has to be the best value rental I have ever stayed at. You are steps from the ocean, can see and hear it from the front balcony. Elevator was a nice bonus for luggage and groceries. The rooms were comfortable and spacious. Little fenced in yard was perfect for my daughter’s service dog. Beautiful, safe, clean property where you feel right at home…on the ocean. Unforgettable experience with my children! They even ended up (accidentally) swimming with dolphins! Thank you for sharing this home, we loved it.

The property is in a great location. We went off season, and it was very quiet. The house was clean. The kitchen, dishes and pots/pans were a bit sparse. But if you are not cooking it is great. The bedrooms were comfortable, but not exactly as described. Bedroom three did not have a double futon, and it was not located in the back of the house, which was a disappointment for those staying in that room. We couldn't find the beach chairs and called the owner, but nothing could be done. Luckily a handyman came up. He opened a locked storage room and found some chairs. Hooray! Also in the write up, we booked over two nights so we thought we would receive a gas card as stated in the description. When called, the owner said that we will get it at the end of our stay and after a review is submitted. Overall, the place was great, just some disappointments with the errors in the description.

Elevator is a nice benefit as my wife has a hard time with all the stairs. Porches are great. Mattresses could be upgraded and some of the flooring was coming apart. Great location and would rent again.

Just as advertised; only issue at check in

Great house and location, just as advertised. Only issue was not getting check in information upon arrival. Arrived at 245 pm for 3 pm check in after traveling two days with family of 5 and owner did not respond until nearly 345 to let us know where to find the keys. In the meantime, VRBO offered us a refund as they could also not get a response from the owner regarding access to the property. Stressful start to our vacation, to say the least. I would highly recommend reaching out to the owner the morning of the arrival day at least to avoid this.

I loved everything about this place. Location was perfect and the front sitting area was superb. House was clean and had all necessities needed. The gate on the front porch was perfect so my dog could sit out in the front without me worrying that he would go down the stairs and cross the road. Did I mention being steps away from the beach? Love!

Nice but..

I really like this home! The location, layout of home, and fact that It allows dogs had us come back for a second year! This year though barely any condiments to use in the home, limited household items like hand soap and dish soap. I don’t think everything needs to be totally supplied but the basics would be helpful. (Like salt and pepper)! Could have some extra blankets also. This would not prevent me from renting again. Overall the location for us and layout is great.
