Family Retreat

Property was close enough to walk to the beach. Lots of room for everyone and comfortable beds. I would suggest providing a larger skillet for parties of 14, and the kitchen needs a couple of hand towels. Overall, we had everything necessary, and everyone had a great time! Would definitely book again.

Perfect for extended family vacation

This is a great home for muliple families going on vacation together. This vacation included my husband , our two children; my parents and my brothers family (him, his wife and three kids) so to have three bedrooms with their own private bathroom and then a bunkroom for the kids was amazing. Everyone had plenty of space. Easy walk to the beach ornyou could drive down and park right on the beach (parking permit eequired for $10).

Beach trip

Condo was in a great location and the owner was very easy to get ahold of if needed. The only downfall during our trip were the mosquitos. We did not get to enjoy being on the deck cause they were so bad.

Amazing Location

We had an amazing time here! The walk to the beach was very short! The outdoor shower was perfect to help keep sand out and what not outside. The home had everything we could possibly need. The kids loved the kids room, their only complaint was they wished they had a tv in it. Loved that each master bedroom had its own restroom! There was even a full bath in the hall that could be used if needed. The view on the patio was awesome! Us adults enjoyed it out there and loved the furniture! The grill was perfect since we mostly cooked out for our meals. This is definitely a must come back to place! Thank you for allowing us to stay! Communication was great!

Too many problems

We had a short trip 6/5-6/7 to kick off summer with family who live near by. We noticed as soon as we were inside there no towels in the bathrooms since we all ran in to potty after the drive. Turns out it’s because all the towels were in the laundry room still dirty. There was no laundry soap so I could not get it started. Went to wash my hands at the kitchen sink and saw there was no hand or dish soap and an old dirty sponge. Messaged the owner and found out the cleaning people never came. So we walked into a dirty house during a pandemic, yay! She did send them quickly which was nice, but we had to leave so they could clean which screwed up our plans. They did the absolute bare minimum cleaning and left smudges and marks on the doors and mirrors, left us the old sponge to do our dishes. Sand in all the dresser drawers so we could not put our clothes in. Later when I tried to get my kids ready for bed we realized there wasn’t enough bedding, and some of the bedding was dirty. Some sheets & towels were stained but grossest of all- there was a bathing suit crotch liner on one of the blankets. I was told not to worry they were washed last week. So FYI the blankets are not washed between use, during a pandemic. *gag* There was no internet and the dvd player was inoperable. The owner mentioned the dvd on the day of my check in but was not willing to fix the problem until I let her no there was no internet. She had a friend come and try to reboot the internet, unfortunately it didn’t work. She then offered then to bring a new DVD player and some pillow cases the next day, but I just had my mom bring me what we needed when she came. Saturday morning we got a text that there was a scheduled power outage on the whole island for 6/7, 7am-7pm. I did not see it until the evening because we were at the beach. The owner said she just found out, but a quick google search found lots of news about it and every local I talked to seemed to know,so that seems hard to believe. Monday morning we had to get up at 6 to make coffee and cook, do anything we needed electricity for. I don’t go on vacation to wake up early and do chores. Had we known in advance we could have made other arrangements. We had only one useful day and two totally wasted half days. I understand that some of it is out of the owner’s control but there was just one too many things wrong. I think we deserve a partial refund for all the time wasted dealing with other people’s problems.

I am sorry to hear your experience at the Beach Retreat was not up to standards. I will take full owner ship of the house not being cleaned prior to your arrival. As you can see from all our 5 star reviews that has never happened before. Regarding the Internet and power outage that is completely out of my control. I did advise you of the scheduled power outage as soon as I was notified. The alert showed the power outage to be scheduled for 7:30 am on the day of your departure (check out 11am). I was just notified the morning of your arrival day that the DVD cord was missing. I did offer to bring you a new DVD player for the next morning but you declined. Again I do apologize that your experience was lacking as we strive to make our guest experiences great so they can relax and enjoy.

A little nervous to rent a property site unseen but we were pleasantly surprised! The home is very nice, very clean. We really enjoyed having our puppy with us! Made the trip even better! The location is very close to the beach. We took a family vote and the results were unanimous. We would stay here again!
