Hudson Birthday

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: The beach house was very nice. We had to have a maintenance person to work on a blind. The staff was very helpful and had the problem fixed in no time. The only complaint was the house dirty. We found something all over the wall in one of the bedrooms that we had to clean up and there was dust all over the counters and dressers. We found hair balls on the floor. Other than those issues everything else was great.

Thank you for your feed back. We are sorry to hear the condo was not up to standard upon your arrival. We will make sure the appropriate party is made aware so it may be addressed properly. We do hope to have another opportunity to host you again in the future.

Awesome Location

Loved the property and the location. The only hiccup was with the guy in charge of the chairs on the beach. He made me move my stuff and told me the chairs were reserved. I gave him my last name and unit number but he didn't care. When I asked since the chairs were put out for guests to use, how could I reserve my two. He told me I was nosy and I could find chairs down at the end of the row set up for the building. I didn't think that was nice at all and certainly NOT the service I was used to over the last several years of being there. I do like the property and will likely return but hopefully, to a nicer beach guy.

Beautiful condo with issues

Internet and tv in one bedroom didn't work for first three days because wifi code was not conveyed properly, address was not recognizable by GPS and we were repeatedly directed to the wrong location, shelving unit fell off the wall in the middle of the night, clothes dryer failed and gave of a burned acrid smell, dryer was not usable for last half of our stay Too expensive to have this many problems. Too many calls to resolve problems altered the enjoyment of this rental. I wouldn't choose this unit again.
