Beachfront Cottage w/Breathtaking Views!Walk2Beach.Close2Disney.Close2Shops.WiFi

We had a great time here with the kids and grand kids. Plenty of space for myself, three kids and 5 grand kids. The views was awesome we seen dolphins almost every day sitting on the porch. The beach is literally steps away from the back porch. There was beach toys and boggie boards there to for our use. The cottage does look just like the pictures I think it is worth the money if you are looking for a five star resort then find something that has a five star price, but if you want just a laid back private beach w/great views in a very laid back town then this is the cottage for you right on the beach. You have Daytona 30 mins away and we took the grand kids to Disney for to days. It could use some updating. I would love love to see the back porch up dated we spent most of the time out there it rained every day but we still got to sit out and watch the ocean. There was just a few things I do think needs attention though, the back door handle the kids had a very hard time opening the door so every time they had to go in we had to walk up and let them in and I really think there should be a hand rail going down the little ramp when it rained it got slippery and I do think older folks would have a hard time walking down and the stepping stones are starting to slide down the sand. But other then that every thing else is as the pic show. I will return here next summer but I will be staying 2 weeks hopefully it is available. Thanks for sharing your hone with us.

Could use a face lift. Needs fresh paint, gates replaced. Ceiling fans on deck would be nice. New septic tank put in while we were renting. Should get connected to city system soon. Once Old tank is removed the landscape needs filled in and repaired. Currently a little precarious and an eyesore. But this location couldn’t be closer to the ocean and the large covered deck has three tables and several comfortable chairs. We ate every meal out there. Boogie boards that were provided were an added plus! Tempted to stay again if some updates are done.

Apparently a storm hit this area in early in the year. ( its now June 2018) There was a accurate review February 9th. (there was also a response from the owner in March that’s not so accurate) When I drove into the driveway we walked towards the back yard and saw there was no access to the beach. And the septic tank was fully exposed with the drain field line broken and running onto the beach directly. We immediately called the owner and refused to stay. VRBO was notified we received our full refund within 5 days. VRBO offered to find another location for us and VRBO handled the situation well. We chose not to use VRBO and found another beach vacation to stay at quickly on our own.

First of all I am sure this post will get the same reaction from the owner as the others have. I read the review of the septic leaking, it being uncovered and smelling. This is true! I called Home Away within the first hour of being there. They tried to move us but had nothing open to do so. I also called the owner. The owner blames everything on the County for not fixing the problems from the last storm. The septic smells so bad you can not sit outside at times. You can watch raw sewage run out of the tank and down onto the sand on the beach. The side walks around the back of the house have either collapsed or they are ready to. It makes it extremely unsafe to walk out of the back porch and get to the ocean. The stairs in the picture are gone so you have to carefully walk down a grass hill to get to the beach. I would not suggest this rental to anyone at this time! It could be so nice, it has a great view and location we even seen dolphins but none of the problems the owner states were fixed actually were. Next time I will believe the reviews over the owners response. I wish I could post pictures to back up my story but I don't see a way to add them. Home Away gave us some money back to help compensate for the horrible conditions. They also put a watch on this property because of the complaints. If you don't care to smell raw sewage and watch every step u make outside then this rental is for you! Please! Read the other reviews, we found everything other customers said to be true! I could go on about other problems with this property but the ones I have talked about are severe enough.

We really liked this property, and have stayed here in past, reading review from February from a past tenant, we were under the impression that repairs from storm had been completed, not so septic tank is exposed, stairs to beach have not been repaired. Third or fourth day there we smelt a foul oder, we sent a video and pictures to owner, with no response sewage was dripping out of tank in to a open hole that is emptying in to sand on beach, when septic tank cleaner arrived he stated he was not contacted by owner and had to come there every 3-4 days to pump septic tank they just come because they know it has to be done, we took plenty of pictures and willl be sending them to proper authorities, we would have been staying there ever year in future, but after reflecting on it were so disappointed repairs were not made, as stated in owners response to last review in February. We can only go by what we read on VRBO, and really hope in some way updated pictures would really show current situation. We have used VRBO in past and gave always been pleased, and will continue to use them, we had even thought of renting this property again next year hoping repairs would be made by then but can’t trust this situation again, we were there 8 days And the whole time the Oder was foul, we burned citronella candles, and put oils out like peppermint and sage, so disappointed.
