Thank you for the great review. We're so glad the location made getting to the beach easy and that everything felt clean and ready for you. We'd love to host you again whenever your travels bring you back.

As a VRBO Host, we may be looking at things others would not see. The house is in a great location and has a ton of space. There is wear and tear on the house for sure, the towel bars and TP holders were falling off the wall, bed in bottom floor bedroom is broken, the garbage disposal is broken. and the grill had no gas (we had to go buy one) and burners barley worked. The door handle is very loose and may fall off. We also think there maybe a dead mouse in the owners closet. Overall the cleanliness was lacking, there was sand in a pile in the upstairs bathroom, candy wrappers on the bed side tables, there was a lot of dirt on the trundle bed and under it in the upstairs bed room. Pans were put away very dirty that we scrubbed and scrubbed to get clean and dishes and cups had to be washed before we could use. We appreciated the house for the size and location to beach and town. Overall week was great, but would be remised if I did not point these out.

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 14, 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We're sorry that the maintenance and cleanliness fell short of the standard we hold, from the loose towel bars and TP holders to the broken bed, garbage disposal, and grill, along with the dirty pans and dishes and the areas that were not properly cleaned. This is not the welcome any guest should walk into, and we have notified our housekeeping and maintenance teams to inspect and address each of these items, including checking the owner's closet for the source of the odor you mentioned. We truly appreciate a fellow host's careful eye, and it means a lot that the great location, generous space, and easy access to the beach and town still made for a good week overall.
