Met up with our family for some beach and family time with our 1.5, 2.5, 4, and 6 year old kids. Chose this property because of the proximity to the beach and playground as well as having lots of equipment included. We enjoyed the included items for the beach like beach cart, chairs, boogey boards, and umbrella. The walk to the beach was not too bad but we were glad to have the cart and wagon to lug everything and everyone with 4 kids too. The wagon they had was used a lot to get kids to the playground and beach. They also include bikes which was nice, but the two adult bikes are pretty rough. One the tire looked about to burst and the other had pretty bad brakes. The 3 kids bikes seemed to be a bit better but we only used one. There was a very nice trike that fit our 2.5 and 4 year olds well. We also used a few of the yard games and super cute drink cooler. Inside the house fit our needs well. The bunk room seems to be a garage conversion, so it has an exterior type door going to it but that blocked sound pretty well so the kids sleeping didn’t hear us at night and we could keep them in there in the morning while others slept. The kitchen had plenty of dishes, but it would have been nice in my opinion to have some common items like oil and condiments left between guests… it only had salt and pepper… not even coffee was included. I’m more used to @irB&B so maybe this is more common for VRBO or this area? I also wasn’t used to having to supply our own toilet paper and paper towels, but they did tell us that upfront… for the price though it seems like they could stock you up on that stuff as I’m used to with most previous @irB&B rentals. Nice size TVs, but hard to use - plugged in our appleTV which was better. check out by 10am was stressful (11am would be better). We were up early because of the kids and worked all morning but getting all the dishes cleaned and put away and packing everything up for two families of 4 while trying to entertain kids is tough! Check in was between 4-5 which also seems late. Seems like they shouldn’t need that much turn over time since they don’t do the laundry on site for linens (note the sheets were pretty rough) and require you to put away all dishes and take out all trash. Nice welcome bag of goodies when we arrived… seemed like a nice touch with hand written note from the owners, but the management company was very hands off and could have made some things nicer and more convenient. Overall good stay.
