REVIEWS
"This house was PERFECT for our family vacation. The elevator made it possible for us to bring grandpa on the trip and was really nice for bringing luggage upstairs. It is a tastefully decorated and extremely clean home. We loved having a master bedroom on the main level and having the kids upstairs. Everyone had their own “space” in the home. The location made so many of our new favorite spots easy to access. We literally had ice cream everyday because it was so close to the Small Town Creamery. The kids enjoyed the pool and game room. Our youngest swam every morning and every evening. We loved spending evenings in the backyard. The outdoor shower was helpful too for rinsing off after the beach. Having a washer and dryer in the home was amazing! We didn’t have to go home with a ton of laundry to do. There is no doubt we’ll be back again. Having such a great place to stay made our vacation incredible. We will definitely be recommending the house to others!"

"Very nice spacious home. Backyard was our favorite. Would stay again."

"What a surprise. New updates to the home and yard are great."

"What a surprise. The house and yard was completely different then the pictures were online. The updates that were done to the back yard are wonderful. Lots of room to hang out by the pool and could just lay on the new turf. Reasonably priced compared to others. Will stay here again."

Disappointing Experience – Misleading Listing and Poor Communication

We booked this property with high expectations, especially since we paid extra for the listing that promised amenities like a hot tub and heated pool. Unfortunately, our experience was far from what was advertised.When we arrived, there was no hot tub at the property, despite it being listed in the description and the reason we paid a higher rate. When we called to complain, the management was unaware the hot tub was missing, and they refused to offer any compensation or even an apology. Additionally, the pool was listed as "heated," but it was ice cold, and even after complaining, it was still not warm enough for our kids to enjoy. We called multiple times for this and never received a call back. The issues didn’t stop there. Items shown in the listing photos, which we confirmed would be available before our arrival, were missing. The grill was unusable, filthy, and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in ages. The upstairs bathtub was clogged, and the jacuzzi tub downstairs had non-working jets. The oven took twice as long as expected to preheat and cook food properly.When we reached out to customer service to resolve these issues, the communication was frustrating. We were promised callbacks that never came, and no one took responsibility for the problems.While we appreciated the location of the property, the lack of accountability, poor communication, and blatant misrepresentation by by the host and management company made this a trip we would prefer to forget.
