Thank you for the 5-star review! We're glad you enjoyed the view and the home's proximity to restaurants. We appreciate you choosing Meredith Lodging and hope to host you again soon.
We enjoyed the ability to walk everywhere with easy access to town and beach. The views were spectacular. The accommodations were comfortable and had what we needed.
We came for our grand dogs 5th birthday. Maple was worn out with two big walks/runs on the beach. Nice to get together with our adult kids.

Hi Karen! Thank you for your 5-star review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and Maple had a fantastic birthday getaway. We loved hosting your family and hope you will book with us again!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property, and the location is ideal, directly across from the beach. Beautiful ocean views from the giant picture window and from the balconies, including a smaller, more secluded side balcony set among the trees, just off the primary bedroom. The upgraded kitchen is really lovely. There were extra leaves to extend the dining table, and extra chairs stored up on the wall in the garage. Eclectic global decor throughout the rest of the condo.

Comfortable beds and great beach access is tough to beat! Thank you for your review Anthony! Come visit the coast again soon!
Phenomenal location and views!!! The deck and wooden stove were a nice touch. The carpets, furniture, and kitchen need updated but overall it’s a great property. I would recommend this property 6 people or less.

Matt we are thrilled you had a lovely weekend on the coast staying at Sea Star #1. Thank you for taking the time to review the property! Hope you come stay with us again soon!
Great location, I think we got the back-up cleaning crew
Location is super great, everything else felt a little off.Found an e-cigarette laying around, old food under the couch, lipstick on on glassware. I had to fixe one of the roller blinds that would only go half way up (somebody rolled it up backwards). Also, I have decided to start knocking stars off of locations that ask you to strip the beds...what are we paying a cleaning fee for?

Thank you for your feedback, Tim. We’re glad you enjoyed the location, but we're sorry to hear about the cleanliness issues you encountered. Had we been notified during your stay, we would have been happy to send our local team back to address some of your listed concerns. We also appreciate your comments regarding the blinds and checkout requests and will be sure to pass this along to our team for review. Your input helps us improve, and we hope to provide you with a more polished stay in the future.
The property was not available last minute and the property substituted by the local rental group was not acceptable (far less desirable and a horrible smell). I have been working with that local rental group and they have not been helpful. I'd like VRBO to engage as I feel at least a partial refund is in order.
This is a great house - right across the street from the beach and only short distance to downtown. We didn't have to use our car once we arrived. Views of the ocean from the living room, dining room and kitchen were outstanding. The only thing that could have made this better was a hot tub, but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Hi Shirley! We are so happy you had an enjoyable and comfortable stay with us. We loved hosting you, and hope you will book with us again!
All the comments about it being shabby and having a leaking ceiling are wrong - or at least out of date. The place was lovely, the upstairs bed very comfortable. There were complaints from those who slept downstairs about uncomfortable beds and pillows. A pain to cross the street to get to the beach with our dogs but you couldn't see the street from the living room - just the ocean. Perfect!
Great location and we enjoyed the home. I did not know when I booked the rental that it was a side by side/2 rentals, I thought it was a single rental home. If it was in the listing I missed it. The pictures I viewed had a room with a bed and bunk beds which I assume was from the other side of the home.

Hi there, first off I want to say the location is amazing. That being said, there were a number of disappointing things that we experienced. The first, our trips of water from the ceiling in a number of different locations. Also, finding a flea dead in the sink in the upstairs bathroom, several plugs not working, hard to see cobwebs in the corner of almost every part of the house in the windows. I have to say the furniture is subpar and thrift quality. The chairs in the dining room are falling apart. The couches are uncomfortable one of the beds in the downstairs without the washer and dryer very uncomfortable. Communication with Meredith lodging was fine however their communication with the maintenance people not so much. There was also trash out front in the yard.

We are glad you enjoyed the amazing location, but we are sorry you were not fully satisfied with your stay. We reviewed the notes on your reservation and do see our team was in touch with you and also issued a partial refund due to your disappointing overall experience. We appreciate your honest feedback and will follow up with our local property team to make sure your concerns have been addressed. We value your booking and hope to provide you with a more polished stay in the future.
We loved this house! It was slightly outdated with furniture but no issue to how we felt being there. Would have liked a dead bolt on the home since the lock box key code is available for everyone who has stayed there. The dead bolt would be an added layer of safety for those in the home.

Views were great from balcony, dining table, and living room. Downstairs queen bed was very firm and downstairs shower needs to be caulked it leaks on the floor when you shower. Wifi is very weak not working most of the time. Checkout is early, 10am.
Location is great and beach was awesome! Would consider staying again but not a slam dunk.

It was clean. Since there was a larger group, primarily used the house as a place to sleep, shower and do some work. The second night,there was a storm with heavy winds. Ceiling, probably roof leaked in several places, we placed sauce pans to catch drips. Notified the phone number on instruction sheet the next morning.

Decent
This house is on an amazing location and the functionality of it is great!
However, the house wasn't really clean which:
1. Is in contrast with the fee that was over 25% of the total cost and;
2. Made the wear and tear of the somewhat older furniture even more visible and feel-able.
Cleanliness is a big part of comfort, so that's why the title is "decent".

Hi Ellery. We enjoyed hosting you; however, we are sorry there was an issue with the cleanliness of the home. We appreciate your honest feedback, and have shared your comments with our housekeeping team to ensure our standards for cleanliness are being upheld. We value your booking, and do hope we have the opportunity to host you again.
This view can't be beat. Stunning. And the updated kitchen is very nice. The primary bed was listed as queen but seemed small, like a full. If this unit had a king bed, we would definitely be repeat off season guests here! Seating in Living room could use updating. Internet was slow and dropping out for most of our visit, with no modem in sight to re-set. Nevertheless, the view trumps all and we had a very nice weekend. :)

This place needs attention!!!
Great location & easy check in. Both upstairs beach facing window wind outs broken, seal on glass behind wood stove broken and sweating, old furniture with thread bare pillows, worn out mattress upstairs, old bedding, musty downstairs from wet sheetrock in garage with mildew. Our downstairs guests left after two days to rent a room at the motel two doors down. Very nice clean, modern kitchen and appliances. The place was okay but does not command the price being charged. Not even close.

Not well maintained, great location
As others have said, there's a lot of deferred maintenance not captured in the pictures. The water damage in the lower level made my allergies flare and I would not recommend adults stay in the 3rd bedroom. There doesn't appear to be a lock between the en suite doors connecting to next door townhouse. Views were great, but we'll look for a different spot for our next visit to the coast.
