We had a great stay! The house was excellent!

I always enjoy staying on the West end and this was the first time I was able to bring my dog. It was a lovely home and we had direct access to the beach. I would definitely stay here again.

Very nice, pet friendly property in a great, quiet location. The check-in and check-out process was very easy. We would definitely stay here again.

When we arrived, the area under the house was cluttered with wood and debris. The deck furniture was stained, broken, and uninviting. The deck and handrails hadn’t been treated in years, so we couldn’t walk barefoot, and we spent time pounding nails to avoid injuries. Inside wasn’t better. The house wasn’t cleaned properly—sand in sheets, mold around shower doors, and dirt under furniture and blinds. One refrigerator smelled like rotten fish and was unusable, stinking up the entire lower level. Many kitchen appliances barely worked, so we used our own. The first thing we had to do was clean the house. The worst problem was the roaches/palmetto bugs. On arrival, one was on the wall, but at night it turned into a nightmare—dozens swarming, making it impossible to sit outside. We immediately contacted our host and they sent an exterminator. The exterminator admitted the house hadn’t been sprayed in months, which explained the infestation. We later learned the house was for sale and not being maintained, which made sense but didn’t help. Considering the premium we paid, this was the worst rental we’ve ever stayed in. To top it off, the promised gas grill was missing, so we had to buy charcoal and lighter fluid. On the positive side, VRBO and the real estate company were easy to deal with. Hopefully, new ownership will restore the property to its potential.
