Perfect Beachfront Property, as advertised! Spacious rooms, lots of amenities, gorgeous porches (covered and uncovered), porch swings, easy access to beach with outdoor showers, fully stocked and functional kitchen, large great room that can accommodate the entire family, not to mention multiple bathrooms--this was the perfect location for our large family vacation.

The house has some issues. When we arrived the Air conditioning on the second and third floor wasn't working and it was over 100 degrees up there. When we tried to call the emergency number it seemed like our calls weren't going through. The messages were weird and cut off. When we finally got through we were told the ac couldn't be repaired until the following day. They brought over a window unit and a floor air conditioner but the window unit only cooled one bedroom (of the four on that floor) and the floor unit was broken and being held "together" with duct tape. It fell apart almost as soon as a the maintenance worker left and did nothing but blow hot air into the room. We had people sleeping downstairs on the couch and other sweating it out on one of the hottest nights of the year. We were not offered any kind of discount or compensation. We rented this house last year and many of the things that were broken then were still broken this year like the railing on stairs leading out to the beach, the broken shelves in the fridge (also "fixed" with duct tape", no ice maker or even ice cube trays, but other than those pretty much minor issues the house is large and comfortable and clean for the most part. We did find some dead "palmetto bugs". Also the pillows and bedding are all rather old and worn out. But outside of that, it really is a great house in a great location. It really just needs some TLC and perhaps some better responsiveness in an emergency.

Very nice and clean. Loved all the porches. Even though it was oceanfront, it was hard to see the ocean unless you went to the second and third floor bedroom porches.
