Thank you for the great review, Dennis! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the home, the kitchen, and the convenient location. We hope to host you again soon!
Property is decent. Ample amount of space for big family (8 adults and 3 kids). Could benefit from deeper cleaning, though, and sturdier beds. Overall no complains.

The kitchen was clean. It didn't have any cleaning supplies under the sink like most to wipe down counter tops or things like that. But that was okay. Shopping was nearby with easy access.

Thank you, Courtney! We're so glad you enjoyed your birthday weekend and the convenient location. Sounds like a perfect getaway! Hope to host you again soon! 🎉🏖️✨
I cannot begin to tell you how much we loved this house. My wife and I were the first to arrive, and our jaws literally dropped. It's so nice, and so well appointed, and the location was perfect.The memory-foam mattress was such a nice surprise, that we're changing to that when our old mattress gives out.The pool was clean and heated, as we requested. There was ample outdoor seating, and they had one propane tank ready for the grill, with a back-up in case we rant out.We had every appliance we could have needed, plenty of pots and pans and cutlery... which was great, as we cooked most evenings.But the thing that REALLY sets the Salty Sun apart is the attention from her owners. We had, maybe, five questions during our stay. I am not being hyperbolic when I say that this VRBO has the most ridiculously fast response rate... EVER. We never waited more than 15 minutes for an answer, no matter the time we asked. The attention to service is second to none, and we cannot wait to return!

We enjoyed our stay at the house. Avant Stay customer service was excellent and fast. The location to the private beach access was very convent.

Thank you so much for the review! We are so glad to hear our team was able to assist with any questions you had during your stay. You're always welcome back!
The layout of the house was great. We especially loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom. We had 2 issues with entry codes that came up and management handled it within minutes. The beach is beautiful and bars/restaurants/stores are close.
The washer and dryer are too small for this size house and the pool area/outdoor furniture are a little run down.
Overall I would definitely recommend this property for your family or group.

Thank you, Tamie! We're glad you enjoyed the layout and convenience of the house, and we appreciate your feedback on the washer, dryer, and outdoor furniture. We'll certainly look into improving those aspects. We hope to welcome you back soon!
Overall the house was very nice. We fit the accommodations nicely. I would recommend this stay. It is so close to the amazing beach.
The group that manages the property got right on the issues and we’re very nice to work with.
A couple of cautions might be the following:
1. The house was pretty banged up by the people who stayed before. I would document with pictures to let them know.
2. The house felt and smelled a little dirty or stale. Nothing a quick cleaning couldn’t fix.
3. I’d be cautious of the heated pool. It kept turning off and so the pool wouldn’t stayed heated. You won’t need this in a few weeks but it was cold while we stayed. We asked for a refund and haven’t heard back.
