The property was clean and looked just like the pictures. Kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed the quiet but real close to the beach location. The owner was very responsive as well. I miss it already! Would definitely stay there again. Darryl & Family!
Even with a single bathroom, my family of 4 had a great time in this rental. The layout meant our teenage sons shared a room which created quality time for them to talk and laugh in a shared room again! The owner was immediately responsive to the 2 small issues that arose and fixed them within 30mins. The location is wonderful and close to the beach and restaurants but also in a quiet residential area. We’ll definitely book here in the future.

Should have read the reviews first.
This property though clean definitely needed some work. The Fossett systems in the bathroom did not work properly, the ceiling fans made so much noise you couldn’t sleep and we were led to believe there was an upstairs with a balcony we did not know we were stuck in the basement of the building. Definitely a little overpriced for what it was unfortunately, but we made the best of it.

Response from VrboOwner on 31 Aug, 2023
Hey Anthony – I’m sorry that the “basement” unit didn’t meet your expectations. I’d like to point out that the second line in our description starts with “This first-floor duplex unit offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bath…” Also, the first line under property is “ *Please note that this vacation rental is the downstairs unit of a duplex home. There is another rental unit upstairs and other travelers may be present* ” I apologize that you did not read this prior to your renting our first floor (not basement) unit.
I also apologize that the “Fossett system” didn’t work and that the ceiling fans were so loud that couldn’t sleep. I am glad that you made the most of your vacation that you must have spent dirty, unable to shower. This dirtiness must have affected your ability to actually turn off the ceiling fans resulting in an extremely difficult sleepless and grungy vacation.
Good luck with your next vacation my semi-literate friend.
But seriously folks…
He never contacted me to repair the faucet. I have had 6 guests since then and none of them did either. When I went to try to find the problem, I couldn’t find anything repairable. I did think the ceiling fans were a bit loud, and a little old, so I replaced them. Please make sure to read the descriptions of units that you rent. We do everything we can to make it obvious what you’re renting, but there is a limit.
We had a great stay at this property. The owner is very prompt with communication and answering questions. The location is great. Very close to beach and quick walking distance to some restaurants and ice cream. The property was clean and as described. I would have to agree with another reviewer that I found the bed to be hard. It's a memory foam bed I believe, it's just not my preference. But my kids said their beds were very comfortable. They also said the outdoor showers were great for after the beach. There are 2, they have hot water and great pressure. They preferred the outdoor showers. We made use of the provided beach chairs as well. Upon check out, I would just say to be sure you are ready to check out at 10, the house cleaner was pretty prompt. Overall, I will consider booking this property again next year! Thank you!

When we arrived the unit was dirty, no cleaners had come yet and the check in time was 4pm, we arrived at 4:15pm and the owner said to wait for at least 2 more hrs to get in to go get diner and was his treat, is been almost a week and he never got back to me after I sent the receipt, the only bathroom sink was clogged, the cleaners used a dirty mop and the just cleaned apartment smell awful. The remote for the tv had non working batteries.
Great place to stay we where there with 3 friends for a short dive trip an one non diver
Short walk to the beach an nice restaurants
Few points for improvement
Slow internet connection special if you have to do some work online
Ice maker in the fridge was not working well
K cup machine is ready for replacement
Overall great place to stay way better than an Hotel
Awesome house within about a block from the beach. Very spacious downstairs unit offered living room with 2 sofas and kitchen with all the necessities and granite countertops. 2 outdoor showers were perfect for everyone after a day at the beach. We were very pleased and found the house to work out for us better than expected. Very friendly and accommodating host was responsive and extra helpful!
We loved our weekend stay at this perfect beach house. Not only was it immaculate but It is conveniently located, only steps away from the beach. Could not have asked for more! Would definitely stay there again.
Super close walk to a public access, it was a little far to walk to the boardwalk and restaurants when it's so hot and everyone's tired. We drove to get food but then finding parking was kinda frustrating. Wish we had bikes. Other than that the place was great, clean, super nice. We had a great time!
Great location - just a couple blocks from the beach. Great place for me and two of my friends. Outside showers were super nice and although we didn't use them, there were a wagon full of toys and beach chairs available for use. May come back with my family next time!
We had a great vacation! The was interior was clean, nicely decorated, and had the essentials. The process for booking the rental was seamless. It's a short and pleasant walk to the beach, the neighbors were friendly, and the area is quiet - even during the busy times. I wouldn't hesitate to book again.
We had a great experience! Short walk to the beach & boardwalk. I didn’t mind the walk, but my friends & family preferred to drive in & still a very short drive to the boardwalk. We are already planning another trip!
Great house, nicely decorated, clean and very comfortable bedding! I would definitely stay here again. This was a perfect house for a long weekend get away. My teenage daughter and 2 of her friends fit perfectly in the bunk/queen combo room. Great short walk to the beach.
The house was clean and the beds were comfy!! We slept very well! The kitchen is a little limited with supplies but we were close to a lot of fantastic restaurants!! We enjoyed our stay here and would stay again!
Property was very clean and. obviously disinfected. Rooms were spacious and had ceiling fans in Living Rooms and both Bedrooms. Beds were soooo comfortable Kitchen was fully equipped. Nice Keurig on counter and a larger coffee pot under sink. Large washer and dryer and great dishwasher. Picked up some really great ideas for remodeling the cabin we are about to buy on a lake in Tennessee in a few months.. So close to the ocean the sea spray sometimes rolls in at night, which adds to the mystique of the area. Many great restaurants around and open even in he "off season". Close proximity to Food Lion and Publix, as well as Walgreens.
Tom is very concerned about how his patrons enjoy the property and is easy to work with if you wish to extend you visit and there are no current renters.
The Living Room and kitchen/dining area were comfortable and the couches were great.
If I could give this more than 5 stars I would. This is the best beach condo I have rented and VRBO is the best way to make it happen!
