Summer Beach Trip!

We really enjoyed our stay and location! The property is in an excellent location. The sleeping arrangements was excellent for our group. The only complaints(which really weren’t a big deal!) were the lack of pots and pans in the kitchen and the rented beach chairs were behind people with their own umbrellas and chairs. The rented chairs have always gotten priority at other properties we have stayed at. Overall, we will definitely be renting again!

Great Place, but Awful Communication

This was a terrific condo, and we had a wonderful time. But there is a disconnect between Vrbo and the actual property manager, Vacation Home Collection, that resulted in me paying about $150 more than originally guaranteed. Vrbo and VHC blamed each other for the problem. This was very unprofessional, and I will avoid both companies in the future.
Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 6 Feb, 2024
Thank you, Patrick! I did review our records and it indicates that the extra $150 charge originated from you changing the original dates of your reservation by adding another night. I apologize if you were misled by any of the communication we sent. We hope to host you again in the future.

Overall pretty good. Unit had sand on floor when we got in. 2 out of 4 tv didn’t work. But pretty good overall as location was great for direct beach access, indoor pool would be a nice addition for those rainy days.

Thank you so much for staying with us! We're glad you enjoyed the location and beach access. We sincerely apologize for the sand and TV issues—those shouldn't have happened. We'll address both immediately with our maintenance team to ensure future guests have a better experience. We truly appreciate your feedback about the indoor pool too. That's great input we'll share with our ownership team. We'd love to welcome you back and show you an improved stay. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything we can do!
