The location was fabulous! We could easily walk to the beach, restaurants, and boardwalk. Mary communicated well and provided recommendations. She also generously waived the fee for an additional guest and offered a late checkout. The house was clean, and we especially enjoyed the outdoor deck. That said, this was the most difficult and uncomfortable rental experience I’ve had. In addition to the VRBO terms and required deposit, I was sent a separate multi page rental agreement, asked for a copy of my driver’s license, occupant names and required to provide an additional 1,000 refundable security deposit check that was immediately cashed instead of simply held. The lengthy list of rules felt unusually strict for a vacation rental. Future renters should also know that there were no extra sheets or blankets (one bed was missing a top sheet). We were expected to wash, fold and put away used towels, purchase additional toilet paper, each bathroom (2) had one extra roll for our group of 10 women, and take trash and recycling to public bins down at the end of the street. There was no standard coffee maker and beach towels were not provided. The location, communication, cleanliness, and outdoor space were positives. The additional agreement, security deposit, rules and housekeeping expectations made this experience considerably more restrictive than any other vacation rental I’ve stayed in.
