Will be coming back!!!

WOW! I loved everything about this property, the view, the location, everything. My family was very happy with the property as well. We’ve stayed at other properties this summer that did not meet any of our expectations and this one out did itself. We will definitely be booking again next year for our family vacation.

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: Clean living quarters, plenty of room for our family! Only a few minor points that could be improved: nothing that would prevent us from reverting again. grill grates were rust abs the kitchen amenities could be improved. We had to buy a few things at the dollar store (Pot holders for example).

Great Location - House getting worse

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Second time in this property. The price goes up year over year but the house is in very poor condition. Peeling paint, very dirty throughout, broken ceramic tile, missing towel bars, shower door held closed by tape, wall paneling bowing and mildew smell. Very disappointed in the overall experience of paying so much for such a run down property. The location on the beach is perfect which is what made it bearable. We didn't spend that much time in the house as compared to the outdoor time. The covered deck is great and the views are amazing.

The unit was very clean and had recent updates of appliances and furnishings. We had a wonderful time !

Valhalla Upstairs - Beautiful View and Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve stayed here in the past and the expansive, unobstructed ocean views never get old! One of our favorite spots on the island where you feel that you have your own private beach regardless of how busy the island can get. The home layout is perfect for a family of 6 and the home is updated with a very comfy couch and beds. Counting down the days until our return!
