Perfect Get Away

This was just what we needed for a quick getaway. The view is beautiful, and we could ride our bikes to restaurants and shops. The description was accurate, the bed was comfortable, and it was quiet in the evenings. The amenities were basic but all you needed, we cooked one meal in and ate out the rest of the weekend.

Location is great

Property was convenient to beach access and local shopping. Semi private beach, so it wasn’t overly crowded. The only problem with the stay was we only had 1 towel and 1 wash rag for 2 people and housekeeping wouldn’t answer their phone. Other than that we enjoyed our stay!

Not what expected

Listing stated that it is an an old motel that has been renovated. We reserved two nights. Shortly after we arrived, I contacted the host to say we were not pleased with the unit and would not be able to stay the second night. If I had not worked all that day, and drove almost 2 hours to get there (arriving after 8:30) I would not have stayed the one night. We checked out the next morning. They were kind enough to refund us the second night fee.

Response from VrboOwner on Jun 29, 2023
Unfortunately the guest did not get to actually enjoy the property as they arrived well after dark and left in the morning. I'm a bit confused by the review. They seemed distraught about a personal issue, so I altered their reservation to check out the next day, so that we could make room for other guests to enjoy the property during the busy holiday weekend. Someone booked almost immediately after making the unit available again, and this was their review. "Loved the view! It was beautiful! Little apartment nice and very clean!" We believe we offer a quality product right next to the ocean. The location cannot be beat. We look forward to assisting you with your vacation needs.
