Awesome Ruff Life

The property was better than what was described, just to say that I didn’t have to bring anything but just the food. Fully in its total word equipped. We all loved it and will save it for later booking. Thank you

Ruff Life

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was nice but having to live without the master bedroom room sink for the entire stay was not favorable. Due to our quick thinking this house was not flooded out. We didn't receive any type of credit from the owner as a result of this inconvenience which was surprising.

Great Location and Layout!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: RuffLife was a great house. The location was great as it was close right across the street from beach access and allowed for easy viewing of nightly fireworks. The layout of the house is good as well. I liked that all the bedrooms were upstairs and there were two levels of balconies. My only complaint is that the beds were very soft (some people like this I guess).

6/10 Okay

‘’Ruff Life” in rough shape.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Disappointed in our stay this year. We have stayed here the past few years and haven’t had any issues. However, when we arrived to the house, we noticed the blinds were broken (more like destroyed) on the main door and a bedroom window upstairs. Maintenance arrived shortly after and took note. We received a phone call a couple of hours later asking when maintenance could come by and fix the blinds. I told them to come tomorrow (Sunday the 6th) to fix the blinds. No one ever came by or called us during our stay to see about repairing the blinds. I suppose I should’ve called Garden City Realty and reminded them about the blinds, but I didn’t feel like having my vacation revolve around house maintenance.In addition, the commode upstairs was plugged when we arrived and clearly had not been cleaned. The inspector was able to unplug the commode when he came by Saturday. We went out and bought commode cleaner and cleaned it ourselves afterwards. There was also sand in the floor of the spare bedrooms upstairs. My dad found a vacuum in the house and vacuumed the floors. The upstairs was obviously neglected during the cleaning process.Again, I suppose I should’ve called the day we arrived and reported these things, but we figured we could clean the house quicker than reporting it to the realty company and waiting for someone else to do this. I never expect the house to be “sterile” when we arrive, but at least make it look clean. ‘’Ruff Life” really lived up to its name this year. The ball definitely got dropped.

The plastic chairs on the deck are flimsy and collapsed on two people (not oversized). Customer service was wonderful. We needed a broom and had it within a few hours. They are very helpful and responsive!
