What attracted us to this house was the description of the beach access, pet friendly, pool, with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. I found the negative reviews on point and wished we had paid more attention. The pros are listed in the introductory sentence and here are the cons:

the roof leaks in the living room where we contacted the owner upon arrival. To his credit he did send a person to inspect the cause on Sunday. It rained during the week where we placed a bowl to catch the water and not leak on the coach cushions. We requested no repair person to come since we'd have to be available to let them in the house. The pots and pans are very old and not conducive to use; kitchen supplies are limited (only 4 coffee cups); half of the toaster did not work; insufficient linens for 3 bedrooms--only 1 bedroom had limited washcloths, the smallest bedroom had primarily beach towels; lamps had either blown lightbulbs or no lightbulbs; owner's manual listed 4 beach fobs with a $50 fee for replacement of a fob, there were only 3 upon our arrival that we reported immediately; the tarp over the patio was severely torn making the area unusable; there was a tenant who stayed in an apartment above the garage where you have to share the driveway. He rents for 10 weeks and has been coming down for several years. Even though his family was very courteous, quiet, and helpful with restaurants, there is no mention of this rental in the ad. Three large vehicles (for the home) cannot fit into the driveway. The house is advertised as pet friendly, but the entry road is private where you cannot walk your dog on the street to get to the primary road (Midnight Pass). The water heater could not accommodate 4 consecutive showers before running out of hot water. We reported the heating element must be broken. It was difficult to regulate the water temperature in one shower where it was either scolding hot or cold. The pool area had a random small grill where the used coals where dumped in the mulch. The grill for the patio off the kitchen area had 2 empty gas tanks. Basically, this house had a great beach location with much needed repairs and updates. We will not rent this place again.
