Wonderful location. Loved back patio and pool. Use of garage was definitely a plus. Older home and in need of some maintenance and updating. Oven wouldnโt hold temperature. Blender black ring on glass container was broken. Pantry was very cluttered with what seemed to be leftovers from previous rentals. Dining chair was broken and would pull apart if person leaned back. Second floor common bathroom toilet needs attention in tank plumbing. Bunk room smelled of urine, possibly one of the beds. Cushions on both upper decks are very old and need replacing.

It was a great house with plenty of room for our family + cousins. The pool was awesome and a great way to cool off after a day at the beach. Only โconsโ were the ways to get to pool - through pantry or garage. Good for safety. Odd for quick bathroom trips! And the family that stayed in the double double room said mattresses were great but bed frame itself seemed like it was sinking in the middle. So perhaps something for the owner/PM to look into. Overall excellent stay!

My family really enjoyed our beach stay at this beautiful house. The house had everything we needed and more. The private pool was a huge plus and the beach is short trip down the street. We will definitely be staying here again in the future.

All of us in all of our combinations fit perfectly with a balance of privacy and togetherness that could not have been better. We spent more time here than at the beach!

the place looks very nice in the photos! BUT photos are deceiving, all the beds and mattresses were terrible. I would compare every bed there to a cheap foldaway, every bed was like sleeping on a cot and 2 were broken. For the price they charge they need better/comfortable beds.

Property was nice clean but did not appreciate the feeling of being harrassed! Will never reserve this place again. Guess doesn't help that the person is a lot away from property. Makes you feel like your doing something wrong even when your NOT!

5 high school had a reunion. Nice place close to beach. Great back patio and pool area.

The property was just as described! No, actually it was even better than described! The kitchen/pantry area was fully stocked with numerous serving dishes, pots and pans...even a large pot for a crab/shrimp boil. Lots of games were also available.
The pool and surrounding area outside was perfect. There were also floats available for the pool. It was only a very short walk to the beach, truly less than 5 minutes.
My only concern going into the trip was from reading some of the reviews from early last year, when people complained about the mattress in the master bedroom. That was definitely not a problem! The mattress had been replaced with what appeared to be a memory foam mattress that was extremely comfortable. My other friends stated that their mattresses were the same; Everyone was impressed and we were all able to get great sleep each night!
You can tell that the owners really want your experience to be wonderful! We are definitely going to book again next year!

My problem is not with the property but with the management company Sand Key Realty. When I left on July 22, 2022, I realized that I had left two expensive hats at the location and called their office July 23, 2022 to see if they could retrieve. I even told them where they were located. Sand Key Realty called me back the same day and said they had located the two hats along with some menโs underwear that was left behind as well.
Sand Key Realty said they would promptly return to me all items and there was a $25 fee which I gladly provided a credit card for. I was told they would be mailed to me on Monday July 25, 2022. As of July 28, 2022, I called again as I had not received anything. I was told that they were busy and would be sent to me that day, July 28, 2022.
I still had not received as of August 5, 2022 and called again and was told they will investigate and was told that they will call me back that day which was untrue as I was never called. On August 6, 2022, I called again and talked to a manager who said she would check and call me back which she did and stated, they now cannot locate the hats after being told on July 23, 2022, that they were in their possession and again being told on July 28, 2022, that they would send that day.
These were expensive men's hat's and I asked for reimbursement and was told, sorry, not our problem. So, don't depend on property management company Sand Key Realty for any help nor Vrbo as well because as I was explaining, nicely, to the Vrbo agent, he hung up on me and any call backs I was put on hold forever.

Spacious home with plenty of porch/patio area too, including outdoor bar/grill. The pool was a nice reprieve each day.
The kitchen was clean and well equipped with dish ware and small appliances. Bedding was comfortable. And with 5 adults, the three shower/bathrooms worked great for us.

Wonderful property for a large group with a great pool and outdoor space/s. Very close to beach access. House is not appropriate for people with physical disabilities due to stairs, parking is very limited and there is only one large trash can outside for a property with a lot of people (which I believe is shared with another property). Overall though wonderful stay and property

The house was amazing. Plenty of room for 11 people. If going in November I would recommend having the pool heated. Only a few of us were brave enough to jump in. Also the loft is meant to sleep 2. Although there is plenty of room to sleep 2 or 3 comfortably. The hide a bed left something to be desired. We had to go buy an air mattress for the guest up there. Overall we had a blast. Would deffenitly go back.

When we arrived there was water all over the upstairs floor by kitchen. Apparently the a/c drain system was clogged. It was dark so I almost fell bc I wasnt expecting water but mgmt sent someone immediately. Also the washer doesnโt work. But honestly we had a great family weekend just the house had some hiccups
