July 4th vacation

Gorgeous remodeled property short walk to beach with fully equipped kitchen for a comfortable stay! Highly recommended this rental property, and Donnie was very responsive to inquiries about private beach access. Paid Parking for extra vehicle is across street and pricing can be high on a holiday week.

Not the best stay

The property manager reached out to me after I booked online ( but before my booking was confirmed) to increase the nightly fee, because we weren’t staying a week. As this was a last minute stay, I didn’t have time to procure another booking, but I thought this was a shady practice, because he can control his settings in Vrbo for changes in daily rates. He could have also noted this in the info about the property. The property was clean upon arrival, but it became clear they have an ant problem. We found ants in the downstairs bathroom, the living room floor and on kitchen counters. The patio can only be accessed by leaving the house and entering through a rear gate, but the fire pit and furnishings are the highlight of the property. I also think it’s odd that the owner doesn’t provide bath towels. We were traveling from TX and had to buy towels upon arrival. I left them there, so hopefully another guest won’t have the same inconvenience.

Beth, we are sorry you felt that way. However maybe you did not remember our conversation we had about the rate and towels before booking the reservation. We made it clear that the towels were not included and the rates listed were based on a 7 day minimum as posted in our advertisement before you booked the reservation . As far as the ants we never received any call during your stay nor have we ever had an ant issue at the property. Further more we had the property inspected after your stay and there were absolutely no signs of an ant problem or existence. perhaps you added that to further your negative review. We have always been transparent about our rates and things that are not included in the rental. We have never had a negative review from any customers who rented any of our properties.
