The main level living area is bathed in natural light thanks to expansive windows and high ceilings. A large sectional sofa and plush armchairs invite you to relax after a day of fun, whether it`s reading a book, watching a movie on the large flat-screen TV, or simply taking a nap. Sliding glass doors lead out to a spacious deck overlooking the peaceful neighborhood, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or an evening drink.

Great place to stay! Location is on the far end of the island which is great for getting away from the crowd, but requires a bit of a drive to hit main stays. This ain’t a pro or con, just info for the next guys! Great layout, and comfortable out door area. One of the bedrooms is detached from the main house, which was difficult to see from the listing. This is important to note for families with kids.

Overall the house was great for 3/4 families with kids. The location to the beach was perfect -- very close. The "Cowboy" pool is perfect for kids 6 and under. The outdoor kitchen area downstairs would be really nice if it was a bit cooler. Communication with the owner/manager was easy and instructions were clear. The house could use some touch ups is my only gripe. 4.5/5 stars

I don't usually leave such a negative review. I waited a couple of weeks before leaving it. The main part of the upstairs worked well for the family. The kitchen could use some basic gadgets. The downstairs was a mess. I texted with a few issues. They took care of the fence and the bathtub but not the dirt, green a/c and mess downstairs. The room downstairs is VERY musty. I showed the rep the a/c unit on the outside, it was covered in green mold and growth. It's my first and probably last time to use VRBO and BeachBox. It also is NOT as easy of an access to the beach as described. The a/c upstairs was nice and cold!

The house was filthy, we spent the first two hours cleaning before our family arrived. There was several weeks old trash in the can outside that smelled horrible. There were two holes in the floor that had to be fixed before our guest arrived - photo attached. One of the electrical plugs, left of the stove was pulled out of the wall and hanging. The toilet downstairs ran water all over the floor so we turned the water off to it and did not use. This was the worst place I have ever stayed. Several soft places in the floor that need fixing. The TV remote as missing for the outside TV. The only positive thing the maintenance man arrived within an hour of our call and place plywood over the two holes and had a spare remote in his truck for the outside TV. This house should not be rented again till major repairs have taken place. Please contact me ASAP about a refund!!!! This is the last time i will use VRBO

Not what we expected

Check in was easy. Everything was clean, and it was comfortable. We had 2 problems. 1- when we got there, the trash wasn't taken out, and it had been there for awhile. 2- the 4th bedroom is downstairs. If you have a young family, that 4th bedroom would not do you no good. If you have a someone who doesn't mind sleeping downstairs away from everyone else, this is for you. They do not tell you this in the description. We made it work, but if we knew this before we chose this beach house, we wouldn't have chosen this house. The outdoor pool is small, but clean. Probably a diameter of 6'. Maybe 2' deep,.

Family Gathering

Communication was great. The place was nice and clean. Everything needed to prepare meals. Beds were comfy. Plenty of room and the soaking pool was the best…Not walking distance to beach. Auto or golf cart needed to cross Blue Water Highway. Bbq pit missing bottom where you put charcoal. Ping pong accessories need to be replaced. The living room furniture needs some updates and cleaning.The most upsetting was 3 of 4 trash cans full and loaded with trash and flies sitting in front of entrance and parking area with terrible odor rising up to the deck of home. Cleaning crew should have noticed and place trash cans onto street for pickup.
