My family and I had a good quiet time We enjoyed the beach and the pool The property is in a nice clean quiet neighborhood close to the beach and around the corner from the shopping area

I’m rating this house this because: 1. Driving 16 hours and coming to this house to stay just to have to make the beds to sleep with nasty stained up sheets, blankets, and pillow case. 2. Upstairs stayed hot. 3. Having to take the garbage can that’s outside to the dumpster before leaving. (Trash gets picked up on Wednesday morning) don’t stay no longer if you don’t want to take the garbage to the dumpster. We stayed a whole week here so you can imagine how much trash we had. 4. There was gnats everywhere in the kitchen. 5. There was trash in the bathroom downstairs. 6. There was small rainbow rubber bands everywhere. (Sink, hallway, bathrooms and downstairs) 7. The mop was soaked and still had water on the mop bucket. 8. I shouldn’t have to worry about stripping the beds and gathering all the towels up before leaving and picking them in a basket. 9. Some of the lights didn’t work.

The trip was enjoyable

The location absolutely amazing and not to far from the beach. Very quiet and very accommodating.

House was not very clean. As former homeowners of Cottage 23 we do understand the difficulty of getting someone who cleans the house as we would clean it ourself. Ceiling fans had a buildup of dust, fridge was not clean and dressers in bedrooms were dirty and sticky. Towels were lacking and we did laundry everyday to have clean towels. Purchasing extras would be very helpful to guests. Kitchen was well equipped. The remotes to the TV’s were not user friendly unless we just did not know how to use them. We could not use the volume buttons on the remote or change channels from it. Hair in the showers when we arrived was just gross. We loved our time in our favorite vacation spot however would probably not stay there again.

beautiful very spacious place and a few minutes from the beach. The cleanliness leaves much to be desired, it would have been more than perfect if the kitchen had been cleaner.

when i found this place on vrbo and i was considering it, i checked the reviews. they had been great for 10 years but last year there were bad reviews about a/c issues, dirtyness, bats in the attic... i messaged the owner to inquire about the issues and he told me they had been remedied. so i took a gamble and booked this place for my family because i was having a hard time finding an affordable place for us for the week we needed in this area. the week after july 4th. it was mostly good. no evidence of bats or any other kind of rodents or bugs at all. this is a nice home in a nice neighborhood. and it's very conveniently located to the public beach which is very nice, less than a mile away. nice parking at the beach and it is $2 per hour which is easy to pay at the electric kiosk. also close to walmart, etc. and close to the highways. the community has a nice pool with restrooms. it's open 10 am to 10 pm. we loved that it stayed open late. there was a little bit of garbage in the garbage cans in the garage and the garage needed to be swept out but this was a minor issue. we loved having the 2 car garage and there is room for 2 more cars in the driveway but there is also a couple extra community parking spots a short way down the street and a couple more behind the house. the a/c is excellent downstairs. it was nice and cool when we got there but upstairs was hot. the thermostats are separate so we turned down the temp up there. it took a while to cool down but it was much better by bedtime and it was fine for the rest of our stay. i think it's kinda hot in the daytime but we werent home. it's fine during the evenings and mornings. everything was very dusty. all surfaces of dressers, nightstands, bathroom counters, window sills, window blinds, ceiling fan blades... i dusted everything and dry mopped the floors. lots of dust and hair. the bedsheets were clean but the quilts were not. lots of dust and hair on them. i let the owner know about these things after our stay and he thanked me for the feedback and said he will address these issues with his cleaning service. because he lives elsewhere so he doesn't see it for himself. but the kitchen was clean. the showers and toilets were clean. all the appliances work great. all the plumbing works great. TVs work great. Renter is required to bring their bags of garbage to a dumpster which is about a half mile away. The door is locked/ unlocked with a keypad code. i suggested adding a deadbolt.

Great location, only a few blocks from the ocean. Visiting the beach, we recommend parking in lots 7N - 12N as these as between the crowds of people staying at the larger hotels. There is limited parking which mean limited people stay in these sections, so families are not on top of each other. House was great, plenty of space and has everything you need. Nice and clean and Ron was quick to answer any questions we had. Highly recommend for families. One thing to note is that to get to the family room/kitchen/dining room, you have to go up many stairs. We had one family member end up staying downstairs most of the time due to this.
