The rental is within walking distance to beach access. Perfect size for the four of us, two couples. Lovely fireplace. Comfortable beds. General cleaning was excellent.
Property could use some deep cleaning: light fixtures, cob webs, doors; I got on a step stool and cleaned thick cob webs that hung along the top of fireplace and across the ceiling on that entire wall- really, seeing them was unavoidable. Deck could use some tlc. I have no issue with VRBO but did have an issue with the rental agency, Meredith Lodging. They communicated about the fence being broken in one area, which was good. When I contacted them about the possibility of staying another night, Meredith Lodging said yes, and then proceeded to bill me without asking, and without providing ahead of time the cost of another night- which turned out to be an excessive amount. I communicated through VRBO so that the texts were saved. Always communicate through VRBO. When I specifically asked for a breakdown of the price for the extra night they ignored the actual question and said it was for the rental and fees. It was way more than any night we had stayed! Maybe since it was the post Thanksgiving weekend they thought they could charge whatever they wanted. Needless to say I'm no longer a fan of Meredith Lodging. We did find another rental that was actually on the water, and stayed there for two nights rather than one, for the same price of one extra night at this rental.
