Fun time with family

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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 perfect for our family.The yard space was great for my grandsons to run around in. Loved the parking space below the house. The closet space was amazing. The storage space in the bathrooms was perfect. The bedrooms were very spacious. The decks out back and front were great. Wished the weather would have let us enjoy them. There are a few things that need to be updated. The living room furniture was uncomfortable. The beds did not sleep well at all. Needs to be an electric can opener in the kitchen. A garbage disposal would have been nice. I would stay there again with my family.

Great location but in need of an update

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We enjoyed our stay however no one was comfortable in any of the beds. They really need to trade in the $99 special mattress for a little better quality. Everyone from the six-year-old to the 76-year-old complained they could not get a good nights sleep. I woke up with a neck/back cramp so bad by the third day I was rubbing myself down with pain cream instead of suntan lotion.

Great ocean front porch & great room

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great 4 bedroom 2 bath ocean front with covered porch & rockers, 2 outdoor showers underneath, and a hose for spraying off sand on the private deck through the dunes to the beach. Large open kitchen/ living room area. Only negative issue, which may seem petty, is that every knife in the kitchen was dull. We had to buy some sharp knives the 2nd day just to be able to cut tomatoes & limes without cutting ourselves. Not a big deal but often overlooked by owners. Great week and our second year there.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First off, garden city realty staff are great! Lots of pertinent Debby information and very helpful getting us. House is old but clean and tidy. Had everything we needed. Can be a challenge getting it cool enough upstairs without freezing out the downstairs but we figured it out. Specious kitchen and living area. Very nice and deep porch.

Wonderful Week

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Our family has stayed at the JIMMELLOU for several years and always have a wonderful experience. A few suggestions would be to fix upstairs shower door, downstairs shower head and tub drain and we have noticed floor in upstairs bathroom is spongy in front of sink. This year we noticed some of the wood under walkway has fallen. May want to check on this. Our week was relaxing and are looking forward to returning next year.

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: Clean, as expected. Note that while the small kids rocker is greatly appreciated, it has an arm that is loose and somewhat unsafe. Also note that the kitchen chairs are weighted such that they fell over when someone got up on several occasions. And adding some rockers up stairs would be nice, its a great spot for beach views.

Spring break 2023 JimMelLou

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: The house was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, etc.Bedrooms were large with large closets. Right on the beach with great views. Lower deck was large and great for morning coffee. Our only problem was not being able to connect to the internet when we arrived, this was fixed but it took several hours, and the cable connection to the TV didn't always work, we had to mess with it every time we wanted to watch tv.

Second Stay at Jim Mel Lou

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: We love this place. It's older, and some would say dated, but comfortable, clean, and roomy. It's very peaceful in that area in October. We mentioned the poor condition of the window blinds last year and sure enough they were all new this year. If anything we would appreciate firmer mattresses on the main floor. The owners obviously care about the home. We are grateful it survived the storm. We hope to stay there again.MANY THANKS to PAM MCCAULEY at Garden City Realty! She stayed in touch after Hurricane Ian and called us as soon as the house was cleared for rental. This is our third experience with her and we have come to regard her as a friend. It's nice to have a familiar voice and face when it comes time to plan our beach vacation. I am in customer service as well, and people like Pam are the reason you are BEST of The Beach.
