Family vacation 25.

House was listed well. Kitchen well stocked with appliances and pot and pans. Cleaning is an issue. Sand everywhere! Bathrooms have piles of it all over the floor. I did message the owner about this and was told that the house was sprayed prior to arrival. I’m unsure what this had to do with how the house inside was cleaned.. The living room is dusty and when sitting with the couch and chairs extended under them had a lot of food and hair. Also, communication on the first day of a vacation lacked. I called 5 times, texted, messaged in the app, and messaged housekeeping without response until the last call to the homeowner.

Family vacation

The house is really nice. Large kitchen stocked well for a large group. However the refrigerator doesn’t work well and it leaks. It will freeze items in the back. The parking is also a problem. We had 3 mini vans and you can’t pull into the parking spaces. Very hard to park. The house is newly renovated and is very nice.

Enjoyed the location and house. Communication was good. Only thing that could improve is that only one room had a true dresser. There are closets but they did not have any hangars. Basically lived out of suitcase or had to put clothes on the floor. Price was reasonable but VRBO fees are more than a Realtor's, which we always have used for our other vacations. Also, the cleaning expense was always part of the initial price. I understand it was the end of the summer and cleaning has to be done after one family leaves in a couple of hours before the next shows up but it wasn't as clean as most places we walked into considering the cleaning price. Also, a golf cart is a necessity but not included in the price so another 500 dollars was needed. Several comparable places include a golf cart with a comparable price. The campground and beach are great and the location is great for beach access. We will probably come again, but look into other options for housing.

Its was ok

Great property location. We couldn't use the outside furniture its was dirty and we couldn't get the tv to work. All the bathrooms were dirty we had to clean them. We had problems with all the tv's in the house. I did contact the property owner and he did respond. The beds are very uncomfortable lumpy. This is a beautiful property and the house is beautiful. Its needs a very good deep cleaning and new furniture.

July 4th Trip

The house was super adorable and for being in the middle of the travel season was holding up! Unfortunately the vacuum had no suction so the same was hard to keep down. All issues we had were fixed in a timely manner. Nice short walk to the beach and where it is at its tucked into the back corner which made it a little more quiet which was nice for a busy week! I enjoyed our time and would go back.

The house has potential but we won't return

I'll start with the positives . This house is great for groups , we had 3 families with 16 people . Each family had their own bathroom. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen being open to the livingroom makes for a great space to gather . The owner offered a 5% military discount which we greatly appreciated. The cons:I read previously about the cleanliness issue but it showed a new company was hired and didnt see any bad reviews at the time of booking earlier this year so thought we would be in the clear. Sadly the issues we had had clearly been noted in the reviews in the last 2 months and have yet to be fixed. I did reach out to the owner the morning after check in , while he didnt try to address any issues or apologize he said he would let the cleaning company know. I chalked our 5% discount up to the cleaning fee that we should have rightfully asked for back. The house was dirty. All the sheets and blankets needed to be washed as they were dirty and sandy. There was beer cans, shot glasses and trash under the beds . There were blunts on the table downstairs in a candle -we are grateful our house full of children didnt find this before we did on night 2. The bedroom remotes didnt have batteries , which we had to purchase and many lights have blown bulbs/broken .It's sad the house has alot of potential. Had I checked the reviews the month before I would have reached out to confirm that the cleaning and maintenance had been fixed.
