Wonderful

Very clean, host text as soon as the property was ready for check in; which was before 4pm! Beach was just steps away. And the ocean view was fantastic! The family loved it!
The property was very nice and clean. A few issues with the property need to be addressed. Some tiles in the lower bathroom floor need to be fixed as one could stub a toe. The back sliding door in the living room is very hard to open or close. Otherwise it was very nice & kid friendly. It does have a lot of stairs so if someone has mobility issues it would be a problem. We very much enjoyed our stay, the view and proximity to the beach.
We had a great stay! The house is beautiful, but so many stairs!!! Wish the elevator worked.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I recently stayed at this property and was extremely disappointed by its overall condition. The entire house had a strong, pervasive mold smell that was immediately noticeable upon arrival and lingered throughout the entire stay. It was nauseating and made the space feel unhealthy. We later discovered mold in the dehumidifier, which appeared to be spreading the issue rather than resolving it.The kitchen appliances were in poor shape as well. The oven displayed an F9 error code and the bottom oven never worked during our stay, leaving us unable to use it at all. Other areas showed similar neglect. The sliding patio door track was packed with thick mold, dirt, and debris, which likely contributed to the ongoing moisture problems and house-wide odor. In the bathroom, the trash can was overflowing with waste, adding to the unsanitary feel. The floors had multiple issues, including cracked and broken tiles with exposed subfloor, while the area rugs were covered in visible stains, crumbs, and debris.Even the ceiling fan/light fixture was coated in thick dust, cobwebs, and grime, indicating a complete lack of regular maintenance and cleaning.Overall, this property felt disgustingly unclean and poorly maintained. The combination of the intense mold smell from the dehumidifier, the non-functional.The only silver lining is the host company was quick to respond and offered to send a cleaning crew after the first day of our 3 day stay.

great house!
Loved the location! Very clean and lots of room for our big family. Our only issue is that the kitchen was small and needs organizing - it was chaos trying to cook for a big group in a small, unorganized space. Other than that, we loved it!

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 12, 2025
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us, Lauren. We’re delighted to hear that you and your big family enjoyed the location, cleanliness, and spaciousness of the home. Providing a comfortable and welcoming space for families to gather and create lasting memories is very important to us, and it’s wonderful to know that these aspects of the home met your expectations.
At the same time, we want to sincerely apologize for the difficulties you encountered with the kitchen. We understand how essential a well-organized and adequately sized kitchen is, especially when preparing meals for a large group. We’re sorry that the kitchen felt small and unorganized, which made cooking feel chaotic during your stay. Your feedback about this is very important, and we truly regret any inconvenience it caused.
Please know that we have shared your concerns with our local team so they can review the kitchen setup and organization to improve the experience for future guests. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as it helps us maintain the high standards we strive for.
We’re grateful for your honest feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you and your family back again soon.
Lots of space and comfort. Plenty of kitchen supplies. Beach towels provided. Wonderful views and so close to beach is great! Nice that shampoo/ conditioner/ soap is provided. Only a starter supply if paper towels, garbage bags, toilet paper is provided so plan accordingly if your staying more than a few nights with a large crowd. We will definitely stay again.

Beach House
Great for a large family. Right on the wonderful beach. Lots of fun!
We loved our stay in this vacation rental. Everything was clean, beautiful interior furnishings and gorgeous view from the home. We will definitely rent this house again!
Property was amazing with so much room, clean and comfortable. Steps away from the waves and beach was quiet and private. Location was still close to shops and attractions. We had a great family get together!
The house was great! The bedrooms were all nicely furnished and plenty of space for us to gather as a group. Location on the beach was wonderful! Communication was excellent.
