We had to ask for something constantly. Disposall, HVAC, downstairs beds had no comforters, dishwasher backup, not enough towels, no internet, no TV. We had to leave the house for new years shows and football.Several outlets did not work. Every room was old, dirty and tired. All faucets were leaking. The refrigerator froze everything.Not really a 5 bdrm. The down stairs rooms are Terrible! Have to walk thru bedroom to access bathroom. Very misleading advertisement.
Overall the house was great for our needs for 10 people. Communication with the hosts was excellent. Downside to the house was the external access to two of the bedrooms with window air in those two rooms versus central in the rest of the house. Also, lack of door between those two adjoining rooms. Plenty of parking and the superb location make up for the negatives. We will be considering renting the place again next year.
My wife and I stayed here with our dog. We only used the upstairs so really a 3 bedroom 2 bath. There are 2 more separate bedrooms with an outside entrance in the basement.
The house is oceanfront but on a busy road so there is road noise.
The beds and furniture are comfortable but the house needs some maintenance.
Overall we enjoyed our stay but at this price point expected a better maintained property.

Family Vacation
The location is great and the view fantastic. The house is a fantastic beach house, but needs updating. The area rugs have many stains. The bathroom tile floor has many broken tiles. The description should say that two of the bathrooms upstairs share a shower. The two bedrooms downstairs are really just one big room with a dividing short wall, but no door between them. The downstairs bath ceiling is very low. The actual house layout is fabulous, but it just needs to be shown some love and updates!

Kitchen was great. Had no cable TV. Did get a Roku from management. Bathroom door upstairs is broken. Delaminated on bottom. Several cracked tile. Bedrooms upstairs were sufficient for our needs. Good closet space. Master upstairs had pet hair on baseboards and pet food under chairs. Outside deck was nice. However deck to beach had several boards that were close to breaking if you stepped on them. Boardwalk does not go all the way to beach. Down stairs rooms were small and had low ceiling. There was a leak in ceiling that appeared to have been there awhile. Had to put a trash can to catch the drips. House could have been cleaned better. And house could use pest extermination.

Nice location. Not so nice house
The property has some major cleaning and safety issues. The handrail on the walkway to the beach was completely broken off. There were screws and nails sticking out that could cause bodily harm! The grill was filthy and broken. Totally unusable. The washing machine had missing knobs. The pocket door to the bathroom in the second bedroom looked like someone threw liquid on it and no one cleaned it up. The main bath floor tile has many cracked tiles. And the toilet in that bathroom is wobbly. Not worth the price paid!
