Fine location, ample public space, kitchen could be better

Yes, there are a lot of steps to get to the beach and a winding staircase in the house so not best for everyone, but the view of the beach is great and there is a large screened in deck that makes the already ample living space even better. THe downstairs bedrooms have two double bed size bunkbeds which were not the most comfortable. There is a den on the bottom floor too with a TV that was nice for the teenagers. We had to go out and buy stuff for the kitchen. It is set up for a short stay or someone who doesn't plan to cook for a group. FYI: To the owners: A friend of my brother's, who is your neighbor, wrote a negative review that went under his name since he had booked it for your guest. It was not from him and he wouldn't have posted it! He didn't know about it till I rented the house and saw the review. Sorry.

Impressive Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Big house for lots of people. My favorite area was the big screened in porch. You could see the sunset from upstairs bedroom. The house was clean and there were plenty of towels. The stairs were a challenge and the bathroom situation wasnt the best. Beqch accwas across the atreet which was awesome.

Extended family vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The patio on this home is spectacular. The view was phenomenal! We spent most of our time here when we weren’t at the beach. It was perfect for small children to do crafts and play games. The management company was very good to work with. They met every request promptly and professionally. A few updates would make this property much more appealing. The beds and bedding need a definite update. They were extremely uncomfortable. Plus the pillows had pillow shams on them and no pillow cases. The kitchen had one pot to cook with. And the cooking utensils were very sparse.

Family vacation

The property was lovely. The bunk beds and spiral staircases were more of a challenge than we'd anticipated. It's more suitable for kids than adults. The on-site resident was not at all an issue for but think potential visitors should be made aware of that ahead of time. More towels would have been nice.
