From the moment we walked in to your accommodations we were so impressed! We enjoyed relaxing, taking advantage of games and books, and all the Outside Activities.
The property is just as nice as advertised. The house is nicely outfitted with all of the essentials and everything was very clean. The outdoor area was nice with volleyball and basketball and the access to the beach was great. Also the proximity to the community pool was very nice.
Very nice home. Very well accessorized and the kitchen was very nicely stocked with pans and dishes needed. The private walk to the ocean was exceptional

Constant Surveillance
House is beautiful, great location, love the island. That being said whether right or wrong, the owner is overbearing and stressful. You are under constant surveillance outside of the house and reminded of such through the owner's text messaging and screen grabbed surveillance pics. Hard to relax while being reminded not to exceed weight limits on top bunks, don't sleep on the sofa, don't park in front of the garbage cans, don't adjust the thermostat, etc. Again, beautiful home that the owner should probably not rent out if they cannot willfully accept strangers trying to relax in their rental property.

Renters had at least 3-5 more people than on their lease.They admitted to it in text.Exterior cameras that do not face house see number of guests upon check in.They said that they didn’t think it mattered since they weren’t over occupancy. Leases do matter- they are signed agreements. If there was a fire how many people would EMS look for? It is a safety hazard, irresponsible and more people equals more resources, hence more costs. My stress was that they exceeded the number of persons on lease and the ages of the people that were going to stay in house. House was not big enough nor did it have enough of the right kind of beds for the people that were staying there. I never would have approved their booking if they were up front about the number and ages in their group. Received call from trash company, car blocked in receptacles. Handled it by texting renters-not a big deal. They complained about cleanliness of home only after they were called out on the number of people that were at house. In lease they are instructed to let owner know if there is anything wrong with house, anything missing or needing repairs upon entry but they did not follow that rule either. I would have sent cleaners back. Pack n play missing, empty bag found by cleaners.They claimed they didn’t use item. It’s hard to believe them and hard to relax when they disregarded the rules since day one. Despite breaking lease, house was left in decent condition-nice people just didn’t follow agreed upon rules.
This is a great house in a beautiful location BUT the owner absolutely made our lives miserable during our stay. She started the week by accusing us of having “extra” guests and threatening to call the police and have us evicted! We repeatedly told her there were no extra guests but she insisted that she saw on the exterior cameras “a truck and people with suitcases” come in during the night. Absolutely not true! She also texted me several times during the week asking us not to let people use the volleyball court and not to allow anyone to walk through her property. Finally, she refused to give us our full “elevator deposit” back because the exterior of the house had too much sand and needed to be cleaned. Well, the house is at the beach and there was a storm that blew sand from the volleyball court onto the property. Bottom line - stay far away from Laurie Matthew’s and her properties.

Sheila and her party absolutely had more people than on her lease.There were 7 cars for 11 people with five of them supposed to be children? She admitted to 14 in text but 17 people were counted. Said occupancy said 14. I said, ;lease said 11.Renters are notified of cameras and agree to them in lease. We are experiencing a problem with trespassers going through our property to get to community pool and playing on our private volleyball court. Just asked her to be aware and if possible tell them to not trespass. Cleaners said house was a mess. Diapers in trash can spilling over, inches of sand in showers, wet towels on floors and beds and more. Storm or not, carports looked like a sand box, none of outdoor chairs, beach toys, outdoor furnishings were washed off or put where they belong, grill was left dirty with grease over inside and out with sand stuck to it. Cover missing. Lease states that renters are to leave home in a ready to rent condition-it was not! Had to hire someone to come and clean exterior. He charged me $175.00. New renters had a late entry because of condition of house.Never had a house left so dirty inside or out- did not respect property. Do not rent to these people.
