Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
The house was the perfect size and enough beds for everyone. The kids room had a tv, video games and board games, which was really nice. The kitchen was also nice and well stocked. The master bathroom toilet was broken and after the maintenance man came to look at it, he never returned or fixed it so 1 toilet for 8 people was tricky. The outside umbrella at the pool fell over twice, luckily we weren’t in the pool when it happened. I expected more for the price we paid but it was clean and sufficient for our family.

Thank you Kim for your review and feedback. Our maintenance called to come right away but there was no answer. Late that night, we found out you were at the beach all day when you left us a message. The next day, same thing happened, we called you and no answer. We can't just come in without your permission. Next time just call the office back so we can arrange anything you need fixed. Thank you

This is a very spacious place on a quiet street and super convenient to most everything in CB. Plenty of parking for our two vehicles and one golf cart outside as well. The pool is small but a nice to have amenity for cooling off in the afternoons. The kitchen was pretty well stocked for most things we needed and had plenty of room for moving around. Now for a few things that could be improved: The lighting in the kitchen could really use some brighter task lighting above the island as well as a brighter fixture above the dining table. The lighting over the range was not working and we put in a request as soon as we got there and a guy came by the next day and said he would “be back tomorrow” to fix it but never came. The base on the large umbrella at the pool was broken so we never got to use it. The trash and recycling get picked up on Tuesday even tho the book in the house says Monday so be aware of that you may not have a lot of space in the bin at first. The place was very clean when we checked it despite them leaving some linens on the laundry room floor which they came and picked up next day. Overall it was a great stay and a very fun filled week at the beach!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The house is good for a group. A primary bedroom with a king and bathroom. 2 bedrooms with queens and a bunk room and another bathroom. The open living room/kitchen/ dining would be good for a large family. The kitchen is well stocked with coffee supplies. The backyard has a small pool but is a little worn. The property is a 12 minute walk to the beach and the street is quietUnfortunately all three of us had violent allergic reactions after three nights - perhaps due to the carpeting in the bedrooms- and we had to leave

Hi Martha. Thanks for your review. Carpets were steamed just couple weeks prior of your stay. Hope your allergies got better.
