4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy
“You get what you pay for… apparently not toilet paper.”To be fair, we only paid about 200 per person for the entire stay, so we weren’t expecting a five-star resort with a butler waiting at the door. That being said, there’s a difference between “reasonably priced beach house” and “did anyone check on this place before we arrived?”The house just did not feel clean. There was rust on several metal pieces inside, and the overall condition made it seem like cleaning and maintenance had been put on the back burner for a while.The shower door leaked a ridiculous amount, so every shower basically turned the bathroom floor into a small indoor swimming pool. Nothing like paying for a beach house and then getting an additional water feature inside.The wooden deck and steps were also in pretty rough condition and could definitely use some maintenance. Going down the stairs felt like there should’ve been a waiver involved.There was also a strong sewage smell outside the house. Nothing says “good morning at the beach” quite like walking outside and immediately wondering if the sewer system is having a bad day.Would I stay here again? Probably not—unless the next trip comes with unlimited toilet paper and a complimentary hazmat suit.

The third bedroom was outside under the main house. Upon arrival, that bedroom nor bathroom had been cleaned in awhile as cobwebs were everywhere. When I called, they arranged for it to be cleaned when it was convenient for us. It also smelled like a closed up house- musty. The top of the fridge had not been cleaned in awhile either.

Great location and pool is nice.

The house was nice and the pool was great. The location is amazing. Only complaints I have is there isn’t a table by the pool like the pictures showed, the downstairs is detached so you have to go outside to get there and the house was constantly hot.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Mar, 2020
The table in the pictures was painted and made of rod iron. It quickly began to rust and deteriorate in the salty climate. We had to remove it so that it wouldn't be a hazard for upcoming guests. We had a professional HVAC contractor go check the property and everything was working property and cooling efficiently. We have not had any complaints since this guest about the cooling system.

We were very happy with the location of the property. It was a quiet area, but close to the beach and places to eat and shop. The house was great, with the exception being the operation of the tv in the living room. There were 4 remotes and still not quite sure which one you were supposed to use.
