Overall the house is nice. The beach location and pool area are excellent. The pool itself is large and has a nice attached spa which can be heated. There are probably 8 lounge chairs around the pool and just as many standard chairs for the outdoor tables.
The bedrooms on the 2nd floor are spacious and well appointed. The third floor rooms are pretty standard, though the beds up there are pretty old and uncomfortable. The normal bedroom on the first floor is much smaller than implied by photos. The full bath on the first floor is shared between the two bedrooms. Speaking of, the pool table bedroom had an odd smell and could use better lights.
Overall, every bathroom in the house was nice. Especially appreciated the showers.
The living room on the main floor has tons of seating and is comfortable. The TV is also large enough to ensure everyone can easily see the screen.
Few other considerations… communication with the property owner and manager were a bit confusing/ didn’t always match up. And the manager liked coming by too often. You’re on vacation, you don’t want to be startled by unannounced visits. Depending on the season, you’re likely paying $1+/minute to be there. The managers shouldn’t waste that time bothering you multiple times during the week to overshare odd personal information.
Additionally, the photos on VRBO could use an update. A few things have changed. Including the pool room now having two bunked beds where the bottom is full and top is a twin. Similarly, the bikes available for use with the house are rather run-down. One is missing a bike chain, a couple have flat tires, or loose seats, and a couple more have chains so rusted they make cracking noises constantly as you pedal. I’ve noticed other reviews that mention bike issues and would recommend just renting bikes from pedals (if you plan to use them) that work and come with locks and baskets.
** Finally, there are definitely a few safety issues. While it was thoughtful to have netting on the staircase to the 2nd floor the real problem is the front porch entryway stairs which are uneven in a few spots and do not have a handrail. One of the property managers and my father-in-law both fell on them while we were there. Just inside the home, there are similarly no handrails for the quarter staircase, which has floors that are quite slick.
