Beach location is excellent. Kitchen cooking utensils and storage utensils need updating. Recliner needs repair. Upstairs deck access needs work.

Thank you for allowing us to host you and your group, Nita! This truly is a special beachfront spot and appreciate you noting. We will pass along your kitchen utensil feedback to this home's owner. As for the recliners, we had 2 of our crew members test them since your stay, and all seem to be working properly. Maybe it was just a bit stiff? Thanks again for staying!

Thank you for allowing us to host you and appreciate the 10 out of 10 and compliments. Given this home is direct beachfront with plenty of sand, salt, sea breezes and humidity (all great at the beach, lesser so in homes), each time you open the doors, in this case 3, these elements come right in. Not so great for carpeting, unfortunately. Our housekeeping team does their best, but we've passed along your feedback. We do hope to host you again!

Great family getaway spot!

Our group of two grandparents, five children and three spouses, and five grandchildren had a great time at the property. There were enough bedrooms so that all grandkids could have a quiet afternoon nap. The deck was a fabulous play area as well as a nice place for coffee and sunrises. The extra fridge was a plus when feeding so many people. The direct beach access was a must for us and it did not disappoint!

October beach trip

This was the least stressful checkout I’ve experienced and I rent once to twice yearly. House was as described and was appreciated. Rooms accommodated comfortably and the kitchen was so well stocked!!!! Anything we could have needed was there to include multiple place settings and plenty of coffee mugs. Beach access was great. And the deck has a fabulous view. Recommend.

The house was clean and tidy. All appliances were working and kitchen was well appointed. The contract stated a certain number of paper towels and toilet paper rolls but they were not provided. We did appreciate the ramp from the driveway to the front deck and down to the beach, which was in good condition.

Group of 13 had plenty of space. Location was great. Communication with the property management was great. House needs a better clean in between customers. Few things didn’t work and broken chairs Over all would recommend

Glad the configuration and location worked out well for your group of 13, Karen! Thank you for allowing us to host your stay and appreciate you recommending this home and compliments to the 979 staff's communication. We aren't aware of any broken chairs, but we will certainly have the field team check them out. As far as a better clean, we're not sure what exactly you are referring to as this is by no means a new home, but we will pass along your feedback to our housekeepers. Thanks again!

Beach House of Memories

I’ve stayed here before and had such a great time I had to bring my kids and friends. We came the central air wasn’t working to par. I texted the host 20 minutes later the repair man was at our door and it was fixed! Amazing service, enough space for everyone to enjoy each other yet be alone if wanted. Planning to stay next year again!
