Perfect escape from reality

We’re local but it was nice to get away for a few nights. We all had plenty of space and just minutes away from the beach. We are already thinking of our next stay next summer.

Beautiful house; Great communication

This house was so wonderful and we do have it on our list to rent again. There were several nice surprises like a small pool for the kids and extra bunk beds in all rooms. The neighbors were also very friendly. Russell was excellent in communicating with us on any questions. We loved this property so much and miss it already.

Pics of property are not accurate. We booked property for # of ppl as well as for the double oven pictured (Thanksgiving meal)!!! Was also missing the couch pictured on 2nd story where we had planned to do movie night with the kids. Quite disappointing in both aspects— pics need updating or corrected to be what is depicted. Otherwise property was nice, spacious and relaxing. Door on porch was cracked at the bottom, sink in upstairs front bathroom leaks and locks on doors need improvement. Just thought you should be aware of shortcomings. Overall, feel a refund is due as a result of mis-advertising related to pics posted.

Not ready for guests

We arrived to an electrical crew working on rewiring the house and no electricity until over 2 hrs after check in.The AC didn’t cool the property until 3am.There was no hot water, because the crew turned off the gas and uninstalled the gas meter. It was obvious that the cleaning crew came into the hot house with no electricity to make beds, set out towels, and throw a bucket of pine sol and water on the dining area floor. Nothing was clean, the coffee pot was broken and filled with molded grounds, and there were spiders in one of the beds. The pictures need updating as the room set up was not what we planned for. The next day the owner made arrangements for us to move to a different property at 5pm that was slightly smaller but had several couches. The problem was he never sent the address or lockbox code to the new property. After rearranging our plans and repacking 11 Girl Scouts and 7 chaperone’s gear and sending several messages asking for the property info, we ended up waiting til 5:30 when I was forced to call to receive the info. The new property was cleaned and ready, however, additional bedding and towels were not provided for the additional guests that the owner was informed would be needed, so we had to make do. The rest of our stay was uneventful and pleasant. We were very thankful an alternative arrangement was able to be made. It’s beyond obvious that this original booking should never have been made or alternative arrangements made prior to our arrival.

The house was very well done to accommodate a lot of people. The bunk beds aren’t very sturdy, so I would be cautious planning on who should stay in the top bunk. It only comfortably fits 14 adults. The closet in the primary bedroom was made into a ‘room’ with a bunk bed, but it’s only big enough for children. There’s two couches, but there are not any extra linens or blankets for them that we saw. There isn’t a good place for a large group to sit and eat together. The kitchen could really use a larger table since one would fit. There’s a larger table outside, but that’s only useful so many times in the year (it was for us at night). Bring towels. It’s a beach house, so I was anticipating towels would be provided, but they were not. There was one towel per person for inside, but no extras. They did have a washer and dryer, but for longer stays, I would keep that in mind. After booking, I got a message asking how many cars we would have and were told it needed to be 2-3. That would not have been possible for us and I wouldn’t have booked if that was in the description. Based on the pictures, we could tell that wasn’t true and so we’re just going to wing it. But then we got the check-in instructions and it clearly stated that 5 to 6 cars could fit. We all drive midsize cars and six fit comfortably.The house is right next to a field that has two horses, which was fun. Bring bug spray. The host was very communicative and responsive. Overall we would stay here again.

The pool area was wonderful and the pet area was perfect.Only big problem was the refrigerator had been set to the defrost mode and water was all over the inside drawers. With only two dish towels to clean it up. Dont like where everything has to be emailed or texted. Would rather have a person be available to handle on site problems. Refrigerator issue was quickly resolved but it would have been nice to have been informed that someone was on the way to fix it.

Family Vacation

This was chosen for the size plenty of beds and bathrooms for 2 men, 3 women 3 teenage girls and a pre-teen girl. The amount of space was great neighborhood was quiet but it set next to a workplace. They did not bother us at all, but think people should know that. Also there were some type of very small black bugs around the sink’s drains Nothing that we couldn’t handle but note worthy.

Family Vacation/Celebration

We stayed at this property to celebrate a college graduation and Mother's Day. We were a group of 13 but had so much space inside and out, it didn't feel crowded at all. The neighborhood was quiet and we had beautiful sunset views in the evenings. The outdoor space was perfect, we all enjoyed the pool and just sitting outside admiring the area and loving the cool breeze. It was a special weekend for all of us and we're so glad that we picked this property to celebrate and enjoy each others company. We had a great time, I recommend it.
