It was a really nice place. We had 2 big trucks so parking was a little tight with it being on the main road and it was hard to time it to back in the driveway. We would book there again.

Great place, great location

We had a good time staying here with only one request...an elevator (kidding). It is a lot of walking up and down the stairs since it is the upper floor, so if you do have a condition where you cant walk up the stairs it will make it tough.

Very nice property with plenty of space. Only issues were the hall bath shower curtain had mold on it, the floors were kind of dirty so we cleaned them and there were 3 bees nests around the deck. It’s a busy road but close to so many things and the beach is only a 3 minute bike ride away. It was a great last family vacation since our kids are older and going their own ways next year. We would definitely stay again if we had the chance.

Trendy house, great spot!

The VRBO was exactly as pictured, clearly newly renovated, and we had a wonderful stay! We ended up getting locked out due to a keypad malfunction (nothing they could have possibly prevented) and the host replaced the lock that same night at midnight for us, while even allowing us to rest in the downstairs vrbo. We felt safe snd secure the whole trip, the location is perfect for going to the beach, shopping in nearby strip malls, and was just in general very good. Thank you for providing such an awesome stay!

Good place

Communication was key, our planned trip changed last minute but great communication and property helping to accommodate our last minute stuff. Nice place, organized, and a good sound system on tv. Trying to type a subjective thing about place, but can’t. Good place, good price, surely coming back.

Thing could have been a little cleaner. Moldy shower curtain, but we bought a new one and replaced it. There is a nice parh near by that we walked to the beach everyday . Its about a 15 min walk to the beach.

Vacation house

House was not as close to the beach as thought- not really walkable with young kids. The house was nice, though the parking was difficult given location. The dryer does not dry much at all. Beds were comfortable and the house is well taken care of. Would not recommend for young kids, as it is not a safe location for kids to really play outside and there is not much they can do inside with neighbors below.

Noisy upstairs renters

The property was very nice BUT there was an upstairs rental that was occupied. We could hear every bump and footstep below, and the flush of the toilet sounded like a waterfall. The most problematic aspect was the outdoor motion detection lights. Everytime the upstairs renter went our to smoke, which was every half hour from 11 pm through the night, the outdooe lights turned on and lit up the bedrooms in which we were staying. This went on all night, even after we complained to the upstairs renters. If there are inconsiderate renters in the top half of the rental, it is a disaster

Gary, I wish you had brought this to my attention. I would have taken care of this for you. With this in mind, we have instituted quiet hours and turned off the motion detector during certain time periods. We have also installed blackout drapes. You and your family are welcome to return if you are in the area again.
