I can call ONWASA, and find out what is going on. They may have been working on a water line somewhere. At the very least, I can file a complaint. They must maintain at least 32 Lbs. at all times. Next time, please call me. Thanks.

Wonderful Place! Highly Recommend!

We once again had a wonderful stay! This home is in a perfect location on the canal with lots to do (kayak, peddle boat, swim, fish, boat ride…) and easy water access. It is a great location for going for walks and bike rides. The ocean is just a short walk away as well. The water pressure was fantastic, even on the 4th of July! The house is clean, comfortable and well-equipped. Mr. Dawson has always been an incredibly helpful and responsive host, going above and beyond for 6 years now, making our stays even more enjoyable!

Response from VrboOwner on 12 Oct, 2023
Went down to the beach house today. Checked water pressure at ground level. Checked 48 lbs. Good but not great. Check pressure at top floor shower. Checked 40 lbs. Good but not great. ONWASA, the company in control of the water and sewer, must have had some kind of project going on during your stay. I wish you had called me, I could have called them to complain. By next year I will have an auxiliary water pump inside the subfloor of the house to bust water pressure. Like all beach communities', they are building more houses and apartment's every day. Water is in tight supply. Hope to see you next year.

Great Family Vacation

This was our 3rd year at this vacation home. We had an awesome week. It is obvious that the owners put a lot of effort into making sure their renters have a good experience. There are lots of pots for cooking, lots of space for our large family to enjoy eating together or playing games, and really comfortable beds. The location, outdoor area with all the extras and lots of parking is perfect Planning to go back next year.

This is a very nice property for large groups. We can gather in the living room or under the house. We love being on the canal and bring a boat and there are canoes to use. It’s a short walk to the beach and the owner is wonderful! We have rented for 3 years now and he is consistently on the job of making sure his tenants have what they need.
