Great Location

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The location was perfect. There was a little road work, but the road was not closed. I did not bring my dog, but the neighborhood is very pet friendly. The only issue we encountered was there was a parental lock on the TV. I don't know if a previous guest did that or the owner. You are not able to watch basic movies/shows if they are rated TVMA. Also, my family members that slept on the beds in the rooms off the living room said the beds were extremely uncomfortable. I slept in the room that is off the dining room, and the bed was very comfy. I would definitely stay here again.

Very deceiving listing

This rental property was absolutely awful. Quickly after arriving to the unit it was obvious we would not be able to stay. Aside from the mildew/mold smell in the house, the clumps of hair attached to the towels, hair in the bed, filthy floors & disgusting shower was enough for us to pack all of our belongings back into the vehicle and leave for a hotel. Very very disappointed. The property management company & house cleaning should be ashamed to rent this to anyone in the condition it is currently in.

The home had plenty of room for our group and location was great! We had a fantastic trip! There are a few things that need to be addressed. The mattress in al the beds were awful and hard!! We took turns sleeping on the sofa which wasmore comfortable.Also, some outside furniture that was showing in pictures is. o longer there and there is NO grill.

The worst VRBO rental I have stayed in

We had booked this property for a week stay with my family.. we had 8 people and so there was just enough beds for everyone that would be there… beds were SO uncomfortable!!! ALL of them rock hard!! The bunk beds couldn’t even be slept in.. the ones who were supposed to sleep on the bunk beds slept on the couches instead… the place was dirty!! I always check cleanliness in the very beginning when I stay somewhere.. I ended up washing the bedding before anyone would sleep on it… dirty and hairs in all of the beds… Pringle’s under the couch… old juice pouches in the tv stand… stains on the curtains and what looked like black mold growing in the windows in one of the rooms… the drawer in the kitchen was broken when we got there… I have to say out of all of the VRBO rentals we have stayed in you could tell that they do not take care of this property and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone!!! As far as the neighborhood it was nice and it was close to the beach about 2 blocks away, so within walking distance… our only complaint about our trip was the house… we will definitely not be back…

Great Property!

We loved our stay here! The description for the property was accurate, and it is in a perfect location! It is a short walk to the beach, and it is close to many other enjoyable activites. It is fairly priced, especially considering we stayed here for 9 days. Overall, we would definitely stay at this property again!

Short little get away

The house was clean and nice! Convenient to all stores and to the beach!!! We really enjoyed it! Only thing I wish was different was the beds. They really need a memory foam or some type of padding. The beds were really hard! But other than that we enjoyed being there!

Beach House

The house was good. It could have been a little cleaner we keep finding clumps of hair everywhere and the bathrooms was not to clean. The air was not working good it. The house was cute and had plenty of room for my family. I would stay again.
