Overall, we were satisfied, but there are significant deficiencies. We rented the entire place (5 persons upstairs, 4 downstairs) for a week in July. The cottage is old and a bit shabby. The 2 bathrooms are very small. One bathroom for 4 adults is barely enough and for 5 is ridiculous. The door to the outside shower would not close completely. When we checked in the back door downstairs could not be locked. This was fixed that night on our insistence. Do not bother to contact "maintenance" for assistance. Contact the rental office directly when you have problems. Security is an issue. Both upstairs and downstairs, the wooden door frame that received the lock bolt was badly damaged. I suspect that each door could easily be kicked open when "locked." In the queen-bed downstairs bedroom, the overhead fan only worked when the light was on, and the window air conditioner was loud, making comfortable sleeping at night dicey. This was not a big problem for us but could be on hot, humid nights. There are no ice makers in the refrigerators and only one ice tray in each, so you may want to bring an ice tray or 2. All our communications with the owner and rental company prior to and during the visit went very smoothly, and we appreciate the friendly interactions.

The house is at a great location. It has an access point to the sound on one side and an extremely short walk to the beach on the other. The neighborhood is awesome. It's very quiet and we had a very relaxing week. It's close enough to things to do, but far enough away from a lot of activity (which is just what we wanted). The only real problem with this property is the downstairs. It has ONE A/C unit to cool the entire place. When you close the doors to sleep at night for privacy, your room heats up because it does not have central air. It was pretty stuffy down there the entire week. You also have to be careful because there is a spot on the floor that several of our guests tripped over. The concrete is uneven. It's a definite hazard. It also could have been cleaner. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't awesome. There was dust on the baseboards and the mats in the bathroom looked like they hadn't been cleaned up in a while. There was also old mouse poop in the drawer below the oven. Apparently they have a bug problem also. We saw some cockroaches inside and outside. We were told they were palmetto bugs. They came and sprayed outside but couldn't inside because we didn't know they were coming and were not ready to leave so they could spray. Communication was easy and the manager was very responsive. For as much money as you spend on a place you expect it to be nice and clean and to at least have central air conditioning in all the spaces.

It was great to be able to access ocean and sound side so easily. The air conditioner unit on first level was not adequate for hot weather.

This house provided a wonderful place for our family from 3 states to reunite for a great beach vacation. We encountered 1 problem that was resolved quickly before it became a larger issue. The Sea unit has a small but adequate bedroom and bathroom with a very comfortable bed. The neighborhood was quiet and sunset viewing was right down the side street.

Nice, comfortable clean property. Easy access across street to a great beach.
