Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
I was very disappointed with the accommodations. At the time of check-in, I received a text from the property manager, stating one of the twin mattresses was damaged and they were in the process of replacing it. The replacement never came. In fact, the other seven twin mattresses need to be replaced. It was impossible to get a good nights sleep. The living room sectional is very worn out as well and needs replacing. There were several other things that put a damper on the stay, two trash cans overflowing upon arrival, ants crawling all over the kitchen counter, broken light fixtures. This place is definitely in need of a little TLC.

Had a great stay at this location. The location to the beach was great. I do have a couple of complaints about this location. 1) The kitchen needs to be equipped to better. If you are planning on cooking at this location for a large group, it will be very difficult. Not serving utensils, had to use a mugs just to serve grits.2) Grill could be updated abd cleaned. It was filled with old used coals and the grates were disgusting. Overall, this location was cleaned and accommodated most if our needs. Would stay again!!

Nice Stay

It was over all a great stay. Clean, great proximity to the beach and access to the pool and hot tub were a win. There were a few things other things to mention, though. 1. Master bed was unmade. We reached out and this was remedied quickly. 2. The remotes in the two middle bedrooms were missing and the switched on the walls also did not work, therefore no ceiling fan and it was stuffy and uncomfortable. 3. The tv remotes in both middle bedrooms also did not work.

Great House with short walk to the beach!

The house was overall great! Short walk to the beach with a crosswalk. Very clean and comfy furniture in the living room area/kitchen. The house is at the backside of the property so it’s more quiet than the ones right next to Perdido Blvd. This makes the walk a little longer but still under 5 minutes from front door to sitting on the beach. The master bedroom mattresses were very comfy. The bunk bed mattresses are very cheap and uncomfortable. Adults were sleeping on these for a bachelor trip, so they may be better supported for kids. You could feel the springs and slats very easily. Kitchen had a lot of cooking necessities. The grill was a small charcoal grill and very cheap so plan for that if you look to use it. We made burgers with no issues on it! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Great for families

Great location! Bunk beds are a little creaky but it met our needs even if it bothered a few of the kids. King beds were great! Loved all the bathrooms and the setup of the house. Rinse off outdoor shower in car port and hoses were nice to have too. Also it does have a beach wagon and a few chairs and beach toys when we were there which helped. The home needs a broom, a cutting board was not there so we bought one and left it. Needs more silverware for the size of people it accommodates. Only had one kitchen towel. Bought a spatula and left it cause the only one there was half melted. We had to replace a few of the lightbulbs that were out in carport. I really appreciated the quick follow up on the ceiling fans not working in kids rooms due to safety reasons of possible injury. Also got the freezer door seal issues fixed quickly and they responded quickly to our issues with keypad. Overall it was an amazing deal for the location and the beach was just gorgeous and weather amazing. Would definitely come back again.

The property is lovely and met our needs of our family with five littles 7 to 2 months. There were adequate dishes, a variety of mismatched other kitchen items, and plenty of towels for 11 of us. We only wish we knew we had to bring all paper products, coffee filters, a broom, and kitchen linens. We have stayed at many VRBO homes over the years and these items are usually available along with some basic condiments. Not a huge deal, we just made a few trips to grocery as we identified needs.A few minor maintenance issues were reported and I am confident they will be addressed before the next guests arrive.
