Great Location! No complaints here!

We would stay here again. It is a duplex turned into 4 rentals, but it was roomy enough for 6 people and 2 dogs. The A/C was ice cold and had a separate air conditioner for each bedroom and living space. The location is great - only about 20 feet from beach access and 0.6 mile walk to shopping and food. The host responded to texts quickly. The people we met were all so nice. This is a rental and city I want to visit again.

Great location!

Great location, right across from the beach! The house is a little outdated but worked for us. The only reason I gave 4 stars is the wooden creaky stairs. They are steep so carpet would've been easier for us and our little dog.... We made it work. No tv box in master bedroom. Living room tv volume is on tv, not remote... Overall a good stay!

Second floor, very little kitchen tools

This was a nice place and very fairly priced. However, we could have planned better if there was more info listed. For example, the entire unit is on the second floor. There is nothing listed to indicate that, and my father had a difficult time with the stairs. There is mold in the master bedroom closet, and the walls in the master bedroom. There is very little kitchen equipment; one mixing bowl, only a few plastic cups for drinkware, one measuring cup with no markings, maybe 5 or 6 spoons. The beach chairs and gear is great! A deck on the front of the house to see the ocean would have been really nice! Especially for my dad who choose not to leave the condo for the most part bc of difficulty getting up and down the stairs. Because of mobility issues I would probably not rent this place again, but if you choose to, I would suggest you bring some kitchen tools if you like to cook, bc you don’t have a lot to choose from here.

Kitchen appliances very out dated. Washer leaked and was extremely loud. No trash bags, paper towels, bath mat and 2 rolls of toilet paper. Master bedroom looked to have mold on ceiling in closet. Sand on sheets on bed when we arrived. Location very good and recommend right near beach. Property manger very good.

Disgusting.

When we arrived, there was maintenance crew working on the home so we could not enter originally, then we found out they were spraying the mold thats in the master bedroom closet. The maintenance crew was confused they thought we were coming the next day. The smell was absolutely disgusting and gave us a headache all weekend. The only thing decent about the play was the location, very close to the beach access point since it’s across the street. Location 8/10. House 1/10.

Near quiet beach- not quite as seems

The opening picture show a boardwalk to the beach. This apartment is a row back across the street from beach. What is that picture?? Pros: Easy 2 min walk to nice quiet beach location. Easy in driveway parking for up to 2 cars. Large apartment with a lot of room to spread out (but one bath with slow draining sink). It was decently cleaned (except for mold in closets) and it had most supplies like soap, a bottle of shampoo, and paper towels. We also enjoyed the wagon with skim board and a few sand shovels available to use. Cons: Not as pictured. The quality of furniture is different and cheap/worn/squeaky/..pretty much as others have described. Also only 4 chairs at a smaller table. I didn't want to use the kitchen utensils either without cleaning them myself because they relied on previous tenants to HAND wash and put away (when we could find no sponge) The top bunk wasn't made, no fixes were addressed from the previous reviews (lack of care clearly), there was not much light (and missing lightbulb), and 2 nails were sticking up on the wood steps. I can imagine this place was quite nice 20 years ago, and they just never did anything since. I definitely know there are worse beach apartments out there, it wasn't awful, but I do NOT think this was worth the cost it took for our 2 nights.

Well, I went back and read all the reviews from 2020 forward. None of the concerns other people wrote about from 3 years ago were addressed. The icemaker still does not work. There is still a crack in a stair! There are no shelves in the freezer. The bed is just as terrible. The full kitchen to cook in a atrocious. Most of the dishes were dirty. Half of the lamps didn't work and we had to switch batteries from 4 different controllers just to make one work. Also, there are no hardwood floors and the washer didn't work. The kitchen table in the pictures has been replaced with one that looks like it came from a yard sale. Everything looks like it came from a yard sale. The worst was the three portable air conditioning units! The central air barely worked. Those units have not been cleaned in ages and we both started getting migraines within 12 hours of arrival. It was so bad, we left a day early. I didn't even bother to contact the property manager because it was very obvious that these problems don't seem to matter because they go back to 2020. The only nice thing was it was very close to the beach. Trust me and all the other reviews, skip this one.

Its THAT house on the block

You know when you drive down a road and you see THAT house on the block that just doesn't look like the rest of them? This is that house. The location of this house is AMAZING! Perfect for walking to the beach and not having to get sand in your car. The house its self needs some love. The Kitchen- has items in it to cook with (They could all be replaced) . However the burners on the stove are slanted and you aren't able to cook well. For a family of 5 we had 3 drinking glasses to use. So at some point our kids had to use wine glasses to drink out of. The living room/dinning area are just fine. The bay window has an amazing view. The bath room- If you want a hot shower and a tub that drains don't stay here. The water in the shower I cant even call it warm. We made it work. The kids room- This room was nice and no issues. The master bed room- The Bed sucks! no nice way to put it. Other then that the room was nice. The deck and outside- The deck is sold and it has a nice yard. The patio furniture is rusted and I'm not sure who would want to sit on it. The screen door is broken and worthless. Overall- we made it work. what choice did we have at that point after an 8hr drive. The location to the beach access is great, the beach is perfect. Who ever owns this home should just show it some love and care.

dog beach heaven

THE GOOD We liked it very much – and would return again. Awesome view – best you can get if not directly on the beach. Local realtor management was excellent and very responsive. Reasonable pricing for the location. Dog friendly! And a nice yard to walk/play out back Sunny and great back deck, very private with wooded lot behind Listing pictures are recent and accurate THE MUST DO IMPROVEMENTS – we have pictures of everything listed here: You listed 4 beach chairs – there were none. We could have brought our own but had to go without. Broken blinds – in master bedroom and kitchen. Would not close and are falling off the window means no privacy! Master bed mattress is shot, every time you move it is very loud spring noise and uncomfortable Vertical blind in LR – Left side broken and would not close. Large stains in LR carpet – likely dog urine – our dog was very interested in the spots and we had to cover them up – suggest a deep steam cleaning Back screen door is broken and no handle on outside

Cleanliness in these trying times🙄

The pictures of the property are a bit deceiving. The place is worn. Things are broken like window shades, storm door handle, and holes in carpet, and some lights not working. Most of all, the place is disgustingly dirty. With the cleaning fees people have to pay, it should’ve been in better shape😡
