When looking for your summer beach rental, are you seeking a place where the owner put the least amount of money in it; the applications are decade plus old, you can hear road traffic as if you were outside, and there is more grime and dirt than at your house? Then you found your next vacation house, read more. The good part of the house first: the location is good, a short walk to the beach. It’s beyond the daily traffic heading into/out of the main part of town. It’s reasonable easy to get where you want to go. We’ve stayed at other rentals in at other beaches, so our expectations were set fairly. After doing our research we thought we selected a great house for our family vacation. Pulling into the driveway, we thought that we were in the wrong location. The house differed from the pictures. The appliances were old and not maintained well. How do we know, we had to make repairs to the refrigerator and dish washer as well as to cabinets. What beach house doesn’t have a grill? The “grill” was a tiny electric grill that didn’t look like it was cleaned in a decade or more. The showers were not cleaned, there’s who knows what growing on the shower rods and drains. The lines and towels are the poorest quality too. So if you are sensitive to those type of things, bring your own. If you are one that likes to have the windows open, good luck. Most of the windows would not stay open unless you found and used a rod. Speaking of windows if you are a light sleeper, sleep downstairs. Otherwise you will hear the road noise as if there were no windows and the house was on the road. Emerald Island is great, the beach is everything you heard and read about. Unfortunately, we would be hard pressed to recommend this house to anyone. In fact, would encourage you to continue to look for other hou
