Great and easy check in process! I would recommend letting guests know in advance how well stocked the place is so they don’t bring unnecessary stuff like coffee maker, blender, etc. Good WiFi too!

Reviewer Comments:
The stay was ok but in the middle of the second night we lost internet connection and the house had small roaches. The location was good and it was next to the pool.
Took some teen boys for spring break. Lots of comfortable beds and underneath is the perfect place for the kids to hang out, by the pool and fishing pond.

Had a great time with kids and Grands in our VRBO! Unit looked to be a little more isolated in the pics…ended up in a cluster of rentals and was very loud at night, even though quiet time was supposed to start at 10:00. House was pretty nice…very functional for our family.
It was an absolute blast staying at this house and it was very close to the beach and all the restaurants. Would definitely recommend for all types of groups!

The stay was great but when we got there it was not completely clean there was dip bottles left on the porch, we found several cockroches around the house, their was frozen shrimp in the freezer and the freezer was disgusting of odor from fish an shrip. We went to use the pots and pans and I had to wash they were greasy.

We had a good time at the Banana stand. Plenty of room for up to 10 people. Nice neighborhood with plenty of area to walk the dog. Had a couple of small issues that were taken care of quickly.
Wish there was better direct access to the beach but if you're just out for a stroll, this is perfect. Too far away though to carry all your stuff with you LOL. Gotta rent a cart (unless you want the salt on your vehicle). Right beside the pool, great for the kids we had along with us.

The house was perfect for our needs! Close to the pool and pond. Well equipped for cooking. The only kitchen issue was the knocked every time it tried to make ice, but never actually made any. That as only a minor issue though. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed it!! We would definitely recommend this house to anyone considering it.

Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your business! During your next stay with us, please don't hesitate to report any issues you may have so that we may have the opportunity to remedy them!
fun spot, great house very close to beach! Bedrooms and bunks were great with lots of space to spread out. Kitchen/eating area was super tiny, table wedged in front of the fridge in a very small area BUT if family dinners are not your bag, this place was perfect! -ad says propane grill, but was not propane. Other than, that our stay was great, the management company was SUPER easy for check-in and out process also. The outdoor area downstairs is really cool too, lots of covered area with a great view of the pond and two awesome decks to sit on!

Thank you for your feedback and 5-star review! This property does have a charcoal grill. I am not sure where it was listed as propane. You can always double check descriptions on our website. We hope to have you back. Please be sure to call us directly for your next vacation.
Everything was pretty great! Just no coffee pot & sand in one twin beds & 3rd bath sink was clogged. But got thru it!
