Excellent location, short walking distance to the beach and the main street. Kids loved the pool and spent most of their time there, although it could get quite crowded at times with all the other guests. House was overall comfortable and quite lovely, however cleanliness could have been better. In particular the couches were quite frankly disgusting, they had stains all over them and a large amount of dust and crumbs in between the seats. Bring your own pillows as the ones provided are very flat.
Great for a groups, destination was close to main shopping and entertainment all un walking distance . The house was clean however the clothesline was broken and no one told us. The couches were disgusting. We had to put a cover over then to sit . Need to be cleaned on a regular basis. No lighting outsie when arriving home late .
Apartment was clean and close to beach would stay again

Will be talked about for all the wrong reasons!!
Couldn’t check in until 3 hrs after check in time because cleaners hadn’t cleaned aft previous tenants. Garage door was broken. Sign on balcony door said we couldn’t use balcony. Within 2 hours the fridge started tripping all power. We had 7 ppl living out of 2 small eskies as we were without a fridge for 3 days. Property Mgr (Bernadette) was responsive but it will go down as one of those holidays we talk about for all the wrong reasons.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Mar, 2020
I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay as much as you (or we) would have hoped. Just to note, the cleaning was done prior to your stay and was still in progress when you arrived (early). We did let you know the home would be ready by 3pm. It's a little disappointing to have you misrepresent several other factors - the deck for example was completely fine and safe to use and we spoke to you about this. The fridge did stop working and we reimbursed you for this inconvenience and arranged a brand new fridge to be delivered as soon as the suppliers could.
We understand that was nonetheless frustrating for you, but it's deeply concerning to have a disingenuous review with several mistruths then made when we did our best to help and even compensated you. I would respectfully suggest other guests refer to all other reviews to provide context here.
