Not a Four Bedroom

A true bedroom has a door. The bunk beds have a curtain that separates them from the living room - no door. The current pictures show a bunk bed and a double bed however there are now two sets of bunk beds. Again no door.

It was the most horrible weekend of my life. This house wasn’t clean at all it had an ugly smell. Not as expected there was dry blood on the rail of the stairs,The bathroom doors, did not closed all the way. And the most horrible. Thing was that we were about to used the extra pillows. And they were infested with ants.ugly, ugly , ugly. Don’t rent this property

Great house!

I had an awesome time at this rental. I can't say one bad thing about this place. Well, just one thing. The mosquitos. They were HORRIBLE!! But of course, that was no fault of the property owner. Any questions, issues or concerns were responded in a quick manner. I would definitely love to rent this property again. I just wish check in was early in the morning and check out was at least later in the evening so we can enjoy the property longer. But I know that's just the way things are with all rentals.

NASTY!!!

Within 10 mins of being in the house, my grandson's feet were black! We did not go barefoot the rest of our time here. Do not lean on the deck handrails unless you want to go to the ER. The amount of strangers’ hair on the bathroom floor was beyond disgusting. There are no cleaning supplies for us to clean up after ourselves, No trash bags to take the trash out as requested at check out. One cheap roll of paper towels that we used just trying to clean up the place the minute we got here. None of the tv remotes worked but 1 and we had to scavenge to find it and the batteries. The fan remotes do not work, and they have “do not use” on the fans' switches. Keep the thermostat at 70 degrees but “do not use” the fans! Sheets are put on inside out or stained; not sure they were even changed before our arrival. Towels are new but unwashed and leave you covered in fuzz. It is very obvious the pics are really old/filtered because this place looks nothing like what the house actually is. You can see how well-used that pole is in the living-room! Yard unmowed. Walls and baseboards are filthy. Filter to the ac filthy! 1st floor that my elderly parent stayed in reeks of mold and had bugs. The 3rd-floor bedroom has no bathroom and extremely steep narrow stairs that are not pictured. I asked for a refund of the cleaning fee and damage deposit, he agreed but is now asking us for $250 for leaving the outside shower/hose on. WE NEVER TOUCHED THE OUTSIDE SHOWERS!!! Plenty more but limited space

great for my family!

My family and I came down for the week and stayed here, it’s pretty close to everything and really quiet neighborhood. I loved the porch and swing and the bedrooms were nice. Only thing you should look out for is when it storms, sometimes the door leaks, but other than that it wasn’t a huge issue and I loved everything else about it.

Disappointed

Screws on deck raised up, trip hazard plus you can’t walk barefoot with the fear of ripping the skin off. Yard needed mowed bad. 3rd story bedroom very hot, needs its own A/C Fan in main bedroom missing blade so fan is unusable along with light. Large bathroom: shower rod very rusty, shower curtain dirty, shower so dark with curtain shut we couldn’t even see to shower (didn’t use it). Downstairs bedroom smelled (very strong) like bug cleaner & The ceiling needs repaired, like it could fall in. No utensils in downstairs kitchen The door for entry into downstairs has a hinge so loose we had to raise up the door just to shut it. There are no closets, which means no where to hang clothes other than a small one by kitchen. Dryer squeaks very bad, it could not be ran while trying to sleep. The second story key only works on the bedroom exit door, we had to unlock it then walk thru the house and unlock other door, not convenient nor private for those in that bedroom. We were notified after checking in, that the second story microwave (main kitchen) was broken and we would need to heat up our food downstairs (another annoying inconvenience). I could list more but I’m tired of typing. To sum this up, this place needs a remodel before I would recommend staying there.

Property w/potential but.......

Overall, property presented differently than what we found when we checked in. Property owner was communicative but concerns not addressed. Mold in many ceiling vents. Island lights flickered at high position. Internet/TV not working. Smoke detectors located in dresser drawer in kitchen. We were informed of water damage to roof w/repairs prior to arrival. No evidence seen. AC filter obviously not cleaned recently & AC plugged into strip not the wall. Owner stated took over property in Jan and we were 2nd guest to stay. He said property in process of repairs but this VRBO user under impression that said repairs (not storm related) need to be completed prior to listing this property. Owner did refund 20% of total charge. This guest is disappointed with this amount and feel all but the cleaning fee should have been refunded for the numerous (and admitted) issues. Pictures of black mold spots in kitchen ceiling vents clearly show a potential health issue, not including the safety issues with non functional smoke detectors and AC electric supply.

Great house

The house was perfect for our family and friend. The privacy of the downstairs suite was perfect along with the shared family space upstairs. There was a beach access close by, and lots of beach toys to borrow. The outdoor showers were especially convenient after a long day at the beach and we were very happy to see that they even had hot water. Would definitely stay again.
