Booked this property with excitement at idea of heated pool (as this was in all caps in listing), however pool never heated to a tolerable temperature. I booked this property for Christmas with my family, to include my 3yo nephew who loves water and was in consistent communication with maintenance helping to troubleshoot the heater. NO LUCK. Communicated this to owner often, no response hoping to assist. No luck. Eventually after stay asked for a small percentage refund… the owner never acknowledged.NO Luck. * Overall house presentation was nice, however don’t expect to use the garage either. There is also no hot tub as mentioned in ad.

We had a great family vacation here. We did a lot of cooking and grilling. The kitchen was fully stocked with all spices needed to cook pretty much any dish, and good cookware. Checkout was a breeze as we didn’t have to do any cleaning before we left. AC had a hard time keeping up at times, but otherwise it was a perfect trip!

The house was a lot smaller than it looked on the photos but we expected that. We messaged Charles a couple of weeks before our stay to confirm that a dog is in fact allowed, however he didn’t get back to us until the week prior to our stay. While we were waiting for his response we reached out to VRBO and they also confirmed that dogs were allowed. When he told us that we weren’t able to bring our service dog he offered us a completely different property. It caused us a lot of stress leading up to the trip so we stayed. When we arrived at the location we read the rules that in fact said that one small dog was permitted. So that was a lot of unnecessary stress and we STILL don’t know what is what. The heater was turned on when we got there which we found was odd because they charge 200 dollars a day for it to be on. We turned that off immediately. The first day we couldn’t even hear each other speak because the pump in the backyard was SCREAMING. Nothing seemed urgent when we spoke to Charles. The back porch had a ton of iguana poop on it (cushions and all) and the pool was really dirty. We had to do a lot of cleaning ourselves. When we left we realized that we left clothes in the dryer (completely our fault) but the fee for shipping everything back was so high so make sure you don’t leave anything. The communication was by far atrocious but the house was great besides all of the stress we had to deal with. We are pretty laid back and just want to write an honest review.

very clean and beautiful backyard

nice place , well equipped

very clean and beautiful backyard

Everything was clean, well-stocked and seamless. For people with kids, they do have a high chair, pack & play, booster seat, everything you need. Beautiful pool, too bad we visited during a cold snap! Highly recommended.

My Happy Place was a great find! I read all the reviews and they were very on point. The home is welcoming, clean, great location and has everything you need if you were in your own home. The kitchen has every amenity, they have a closet full of towels, the pool was clean and heated. The outdoor space is lovely. Plenty of seating, a grill (we did not use), trellis and the decor was nice as well. The landscape was pleasing and there are outdoor fans and twinkle lights to set up for any mood/occasion outside. The house has a closet filled with towels, great primary shower and great water pressure. The beds were comfortable with plenty of extra blankets and pillows. The owners leave a beach pass which is a huge bonus. It is barely a 10 minute drive to Atlantic Ave. The beach is 4 minutes away by car and parking is simple. Great clean beach. It was truly a wonderful place to stay. I went with my 19 yo daughter and we had a great time. The house was spotless and comfortable.
