Beautiful beach pretty good location with a WORN OUT house. When I pay 12,000 a week for a house it should not have rotted wood everywhere.stains throughout,nasty old berber carpet with stains everywhere a barbecue grill covered in rust. If you’re going to charge 12k a week put some money back into the house. Cracked sink in master, no door to master bathroom so your spouse or “guest” will get to join you during bowel movements lol. I suggest a total interior remodel or cut the price by 50%

The view, proximity to the ocean and overall space of the house was superb! We cooked all of our meals and enjoyed all the kitchen cooking supplies and utensils. It was easy to find and had plenty of parking. There many chairs and seating options available inside and out. The giant deck had railings and gates all around that kept our pet safe from getting out. There were some maintenance needs , but nothing that kept us from enjoying our stay. We will definitely book here again!

Overall property is great. Right on the beach and close to shopping and restaurants. Everything was very clean except doors and cabinets had quite a bit of stain on from use. Plenty of room for a big group to eat and sit comfortably. A little dated but a great place to stay. Plenty of parking also. It was very quiet during our stay….no rowdy people or parties. Would definitely stay there again.

Air conditioner went out twice. Grill was so nasty we could not use it. Since we were staying two weeks we had planned to grill a lot. Cooktop and oven need replacing. You had to run the dryer three cycles for clothes to get dry. Lots and lots of sand in carport and driveway. We tracked it in all week. Just need some TLC. In hindsight I would not have paid this much money for this house

The house was beautiful and as expected. The inside was spotless. I rated the cleanliness a 4 as the outside of the home needs attention. When we arrived the pool area had two broken chairs and a black garbage back with trash in it laying on the pool deck. The back deck that leads to the beach had cigarette butts everywhere and broken glass on one set of stairs, beer cans in the area between house and beach. We called the rental company and they sent someone to pick up the butts and glass. she said they couldn't help what blew up from the beach (talking about beer cans) but didn't pick them up. As for broken chairs at the pool she advised the owner had been notified they needed replacing. I moved them to the corner of the pool so no one would hurt themselves trying to sit in. I also threw away the black garbage bag of trash myself.
Overall the house and setting were beautiful and what we needed to accommodate our family.

Everything was great except the pool. The pool had not been cleaned at all. When the pool man came to service the pool there was an extreme exaggeration on his part as to how many vehicles were parked there but he never came to the door to speak with us about moving. You are allowed 8 vehicles (we had 7). Eight vehicles will not fit, go with 6. The house itself is older, but great for young adults and families with small children. Great access to the beach! I also recommend a beach service for chairs and umbrellas (we used Ed’s).

The location of this property is perfect. The beach is beautiful. We spent most of our time on the deck and beach. Overall the house and furniture need some attention. It is getting dated and worn out. It would have been great if the house included beach chairs for renters to use. The tubs and floors needed some deep cleaning. All that said, we would rent this property again.

The house was a great size! Rooms were big, appliances appeared upgraded from original pictures and view was amazing! The property management company was also very easy to work with and had a great response time. I would stay in this house again or one managed by this management company.

We stayed here over spring break and it was great! The house is in good shape and right near anything you need. The beach seemed private as we were never even close to crowded. Many restaurants right nearby and a couple within walking distance. We will stay here again for sure!

Best in Location
The reason you rent this home is location. You can't get a better spot to access the beach or enjoy the view from the balcony. It is in the middle of a stretch of private homes which really reduced the number of people on the beach. The pool was nice: 10 x 16 with steps at one end and ladder exit at the other. It is only accessible from the front door. It can't be seen from anywhere else. There were 13 of us, including 5 kids, 4 seperate families. The living space and bedroom area was good, but I don't believe the house is 4500 square. Maybe that includes decks and driveways. The kitchen appliances were good and fridge lots of room. There was a crock pot, hand mixer and blender. We took an electric skillet. We did not have any problems with washer/dryer. There was a DVD player in living area and But overall the house just seemed neglected. Doors didn't latch, lots of rust outside, railings poorly reinforced, missing rungs. Depending on price and availability we would stay again with eyes wide open.

Fantastic Location - House needs Work
The view is exceptional - we absolutely loved the location! The size was fantastic, and just as described. The pool was small but perfect for the size of our kids. It was not dirty, but could use a cleaning when we arrived on Saturday, however, the pool guys showed up promptly on Monday morning, and it was sparkling clean for the rest of the week, so we appreciated that! The house does need some maintenance before they lose it to the elements. There were 17 houses in a row that I counted from the water, and this one was definitely the most run-down. It needs a fresh coat of paint - there is lots of rust from metal, etc. Stairs inside & out are steep, so would not recommend for people who have problems with climbing stairs. Downstairs, there is one king bedroom, the double beds room, and the bunkroom. Two more kings upstairs. The "master" bathroom has no door! Only a curtain, so that is very weird and zero privacy. You have to lock the bedroom door to get full privacy. There were a couple of dining room chairs broken when we arrived, but we made do by using some of the patio chairs. The patio furniture is completely different than those in the photos. There is only one table and two lounge chairs (different than pictured) and no umbrellas for shade. It's a great place to sit as long as there is shade available. Some deck railing broken-& gas grill on the deck. The kitchen is not very well appointed. We struggled to find enough items to cook with. Needs more cooking dishes/pots/bakeware. We located ONE measuring cup and it was plastic & cracked so if you were measuring liquid, it would leak. The decor is outdated, but for a beach house, that may not be important to renters. There is some sheetrock peeling away at the ceiling below where I think the jacuzzi bathtub is, so it makes me nervous that there is a weakness there. The washer and dryer are nice, but the dryer will not completely dry a load of towels in one load-takes 2-3. The house obviously needs work. I hope the owners take that into account and remodel it before they lose it because it's got such potential and it is in such a fantastic location! For the amount of money we paid for a week, I would have expected it to be a little more well-maintained. We would DEFINITELY rent again if it undergoes a renovation because we absolutely loved the house/location. If not, sadly, we'll look at a different house along that row. The manager was great to work with beforehand & check-in/out was easy!
