We have been vacationing in this area and renting beach houses for more than twenty years, so we have a good sense of what to expect from rental properties in the community. Unfortunately, this home did not meet those expectations.While the house was clean upon arrival, we were disappointed by both the interior and exterior of the property. The listing photos did not accurately reflect the current appearance of the home. Outside, the landscaping appears to have been neglected for quite some time. Trees and shrubs are heavily overgrown, extending into the driveway and along the sidewalks. We frequently had to avoid or brush against low-hanging branches when entering and leaving the property.Inside, much of the furniture is noticeably worn and outdated. Several seating areas, particularly on the back porch, were uncomfortable or unusable due to the age and condition of the furniture. The downstairs flooring is also in poor condition and shows significant wear.The property would greatly benefit from some basic updates, including refreshing the cabinetry, replacing worn furniture, addressing the flooring, and improving the exterior landscaping. Compared to many of the surrounding homes in the development, there is a noticeable difference in upkeep and overall presentation.We appreciate that the home was clean, but given the condition of the property, we would not choose to stay here again. We would encourage the owner to invest in some much-needed maintenance and updating.

Five of us stayed at Bahia Largo for a week and it was awesome! The house is quaint and roomy, and it's right across from the beach. The two floors are accessible only from the outside, so it's great for maintaining space between parties if needed. The saltwater pool was perfect and the backyard is spacious and private, with a covered hangout area off the bottom floor. There's a great four seasons room and a screened in porch on the second floor where we loved to hang out. The kitchen has most utensils, appliances, etc. you might need, including a dishwasher. Having the washer/dryer was also great. I spoke with Mary Nell several times throughout the year for various reasons, and she was super kind, accommodating, and responsive. We're already booked again for next year!

Loved being able to walk across the way to the beach or out back to the pool. Any little hiccup was quickly handled by the owner. Convenient having two separate kitchens. AC was amazing!

Proximity to the beach was perfect, and private pool (albeit with no frills) in the backyard ideal. The beach felt semi-private and was away from the hustle and bustle. Unfortunately the pool cycle was not set adequately to handle the traffic, and by end of each day the water was cloudy and dirty. The owner sent the pool guy over once, after we complained, but that helped for just a day. If you were lucky enough to draw a room on the second floor, it has been somewhat renovated, and has some nice extra space with a screened in porch and sunroom. If you drew the “can’t do stairs” card, you were less fortunate. The first floor does not appear to have been touched up/repaired/anything since the place was built. The refrigerator door had bungee cords provided to keep the condiments on the shelves. I can never understand bathrooms that are meant to serve 8 sleepers that have ONE towel rack. We had to shift the bed in our room, and it was clear that the floor hadn’t been cleaned under/behind/alongside it in a very long time. We found trash and numerous other people’s belongings. While making our beds with linens provided (for a fee of course), we discovered that the mattress pad likely hadn’t been washed in years either – sporting various pubic hairs, stains, etc. The check-out instructions are very clear about separating dirty linens from towels before leaving – with NO reference to leaving comforters or pillows in a pile to be cleaned also. They clearly had not – the pillows stank, and one by one members of our family got sick throughout the week. Finally, the toilet in “our” bathroom, which is right off the living room – so open to folks in the pool, folks visiting our floor - and serving up to eight sleepers, was out of date and inadequately sized for such a potential capacity. It clogged several times during our stay and we were able to unclog with the plunger provided. However, as we were rushing to make it to the airport and meet the 11am deadline of checkout it clogged again so we notified the cleaning crew as they entered. We were not halfway across the state when we received a notification that the owner had charged our credit card an additional fee for cleaning. That was on top of the cleaning fee already assessed. Our guess is the cleaning crew tried to flush and when it started overflowing, they panicked and blamed us. For the age of the property, it is overpriced. For what we paid, we expected a higher level of amenities and cleanliness.
