Very comfortable and clean

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was spacious, comfortable, clean, and very close to the beach. It was quiet and just a pleasant place to stay for a week. The check in/out process was a bit of a pain, but that's the only slight negative. The actual property was great, and I'd gladly stay again.

Great location

The property was directly across from the beach access which made it perfect for us with kids! We enjoyed our stay! Make sure you bring any beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, etc because there are not any there. Also if you wash your face or body more than once per day per person or you do not want to wash towels and wash rags every day, bring extra!

Wonderful location; house had issues, but prop mgr responded well

Tough review to make: This older-style house is fine for some vacation styles, but not others. Listing highs/lows: The good: *Location: As described, if not better. As close to beach as could be without being on it. Direct public access after crossing a small, lightly traveled residential street. Perfect location for spending days at oceanfront. *New power reclining sectional sofas and chair, complete with cup holders, storage and USB; different from pictures - great surprise! Along w/ TiVo and Netflix/Hulu apps, good for relaxing time. The bad: *Ants in house (incl bedroom): Arrived on a Sunday eve after large storm on Sat. Saw few dozen ants, coming from family-room window sill, then saw hundreds on, in and around master bedroom. Wife and I didn't unpack and slept in fam rm chairs that night. - Fam Rm wall had water damage throughout: peeling interior walls in at least 6 areas, 12-24 in. tall Was dry, so didn't seem to be from storm that happened right before arrival. * Lots of kitchen cabinets, but filled with many redundant items (ex, pans upon pans, couple dozen wine and coffee cups) and no room for any pantry items so never could settle-in to store food items, and had to be strewn out along countertops. Since this house is far removed from most restaurants, curating/organizing kitchen is important and would help to being able to "settle-in". management company: Sent emails on ants Sun night. mgmt responded just after 8a Monday, follow-up called @ 9a, pest control out @ 10a. Took care of politely/quickly - left personal cell to immediately respond if we saw more later in stay - which we did on Day 5, but not where orig sprayed - coming through another window frame. He asked what time we were going to leave on last day, so he could make sure to "douse the whole house" before next renters; indicated this was unusual, but cared about well-being of guests, and not just punching-clock. (We later found where we think the nest was below the house.); Same day @ 11a, other contractor arrived to address non-pest issues: (wall-damage, roof trim blown off hanging on wires, screen tears, unhooked faucet sprayer) Couldn't have asked for better responsiveness from mgmt company. BtmLn: owner puts money into house (i.e: new sofa, newer siding, prem cable), but having more proactive action against pests and water damage, and better kitchen org would have made for smoother stay.

Misleading pictures

I was happy with the location. The pictures on VRBO were NOT up to date. If they had of been, I would not have rented this home. There was a lot of water damage on the inside front of the house. The floors were warped. And paint coming off of ceiling. The dryer took along time to dry clothes. One of the deciding factors on renting this property was the fact it had an outdoor shower. Much to our disappointment, the pipes were busted going to it. There was a water hose to rinse off with but it leaked at the hook up. A simple o ring replacement would probably fix it. The material on the ottoman was flaking off so we didn’t use it. We had sand in 2 beds and had to wash the sheets the first night. There was hair in both shower/tub drains. It was so bad in the master bathroom that we had to buy Draino in order for the water to drain out. The kitchen had the bare minimum essential items. Be sure to bring EVERYTHING you may need. Most of the dressers were made of press board and not very sturdy. I would suggest to upgrade the dressers, fix the inside of the house and have a serious talk with the cleaning crew. And update the pictures online.

Off the beaten path hidden jewel. Family friendly place.

The beach is directly across from the house. This home has every thing you need.Kitchen is well furnished from slow cookers to electric griddle. Rooms are nice all are equipped with flat screen TVs and the beds are comfortable. The only suggestion that I had is to maybe add some umbrella's to the porch...
