Very nice house
Overall, this house is very nice and in great condition. We loved the living areas and the pool. We had 2 problems with our stay. First, the beach access across the street is closed, because someone is beginning to build there. So you have to walk 4-5 blocks to get to find public beach space (a lot of the beach in the area is private for various condos). This would not have been a huge issue if it had been disclosed, and if we had been just adults. We had several small children with us and the walk/hauling stuff was not fun. The other issue was the non-working internet/wifi. We called about this twice, and they were very responsive, but the people they sent were unable to fix it.
If neither of these things are issues for you, this really is a great property. The management company was great to work with and provided a lot of information/communication.
Beautiful house, great pool location but sub-par kitchen
The house was very well laid out and the renovations were beautiful. We loved the pool and how private the location of it was. It was perfect for our group however, the kitchen was poorly appointed and didn’t have enough pots, skillets and serving type dishes for the number of people the house sleeps. That is one of the reasons that we rent large houses, we have multiple families that like to cook and this house made that difficult. In addition, the kitchen was dirty. We had to run many of the dishes and all of the silverware though the dishwasher before we could use it. The silverware caddy and drawer was so dirty that I had to clean it out before putting anything back in it. There was a broken towel rack in the powder room that was just stuck under the sink instead of repaired. The master bedroom has a wet bar and there is a window above it that doesn’t have a blind. If you are on the “shared” upper deck, you can see the master bed from that window. It was a little unsettling all week. I would consider renting this house again if these issues were fixed.
Great house for our family Stay!
This was a great house for my family and we all fit in very comfortably. My grand kids loved the bunk room! (I have 8) Nice master bedroom and Updated kitchen. Loved sitting on the open front and back porches. Just a walk across the street for the beach. Loved the private pool and the Guest house above the 2 car garage with its own private kitchen. We will be staying here again!
Great house, perfect for our large family gathering
We loved many aspects of the house, including the cute decor and the beatiful rooms. The pool was perfect for the kids and we loved having the grill as an option for outdoor cooking. The fridge went out while we were there and Real Joy took very good care of us making sure we had a replacement.
Great place!!! Loved it
Loved house! Just a walk to the beach!
Classy, spacious house right across from the beach
The house, carriage house, pool, and location were all wonderful. There was plenty of room, with lots of sleeping space. The furnishings were very nice and clearly well taken care of. The kitchen was very swanky with brand new appliances and a wine cooler. We loved the wide porches and massive bathrooms. The only draw back from this experience was the fact that we could not check in until 4 pm. That was a bit of a hassle. Other than that, great experience.
