Beautiful house and location! Had everything we needed. The toy closet in the carport was a HUGE hit and saved us a ton of money. Did not have one single complaint and will definitely use yall again!

Condo was well equipped with condiments ;
salt, pepper, coffee filters, Had enough pots and pans and other kitchen items . The storage closet outside was full of pails, shovels and floats of all sizes .
I was very dissatisfied with the cleanliness of the place! Under the beds desperately needed dusting as did the ceiling fans. Trash can area in kitchen was filthy, trash cans outside were very smelly and need to be cleaned. The door in the upstairs master was hard to keep closed but the air conditioner worked well. Probably would not stay there again .

We weren’t sure what to expect after reading some bad reviews after we had already booked. If you are looking for “new” and fancy- this isn’t the home for you. You should go to a higher price point- like twice as high if those things are important. We were all pleasantly surprised and quite frankly think those low reviews are ridiculous! The kitchen has MORE than enough dishes, pots and pans and utensils. There were coffee filters, spices, laundry soap, dishwasher soap. The owners even provided big, thick beach towels and tons of beach toys, floats and chairs. The location can’t be beat. The pool was lovely and no smaller than any private home beach pool. Yes, you hear the neighbors going up the steps but they hear you also. It’s not a big deal. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is the beds upstairs (3 bedrooms up) really were not too comfortable according to my adult children. The king downstairs was fine for my husband and myself. We would love to make this home our annual family vacation rental if the mattresses get upgraded. But we had a wonderful stay and made fabulous memories!

I was going to elaborate on all these reviews and offer my thoughts as well but there is a 1500 char. limit so
- pool IS MUCH smaller than you may think from the pics. but still did its job for our small ones in our stay.
- Deck is in need of refinish and stain or paint. as well as the small walk out below the pool deck.
-Plenty of cookware. Toaster size was fine. weird thing to review, Robert.
-curtain situation is lacking BAD. two deck door curtains were upstairs in the bunk room and the window in living room was curtains just nailed up
-we arrived an hour early, cleaner, a young college aged male, was finishing up. Assured him not to rush. Saying that, hire a better service. Very dusty fans, vents, bathroom vents.
-Furniture is quite dingy
-some outlets your plugs ins will just fall out of. Idk how else to explain.
-floors aren't ideal for a beach house. They are worn and torn from elements. Also dont seemed to be put in correctly in many places. I think this is what one reviewer was considering "buckled" floors.
- you WILL hear your neighbors obviously. Ours were great but sounded like a heard of buffalo going up and down stairs.
Overall if you pay attention, and do research, this property seems to have been purchased not long ago and with some investment into the investment it can be better. Does need some very focused TLC.
better than hauling crap up and down a condo though! would not rule out another stay and Tosha was great!
1500 char limit sucks VRBO!

pool is much, much smaller than pictured. Pool did not appear to have been cleaned prior to our arrival had sand in pool. Underwater pool light did not work.Missing deck umbrella at pool side. Some bathroom lights were out, interior floor laminate is peeling in places. Outside deck paint gone exposing rusted screw heads. Kitchen lacked the cookware for 12 people. Had a 2 slot toaster and a 6" diameter skillet for 12 people. Found a couple of wall outlets not working. Missing livingroom curtain, could not watch TV in daytime because of the sunlight glare off TV. We only had 6 people but felt crowed and disapointed with the amenities. For what was paid, we expected much better.

The location was great-excellent beach access. The pool was small and shared with other side of unit. We arrived for check in at 4 pm and we were not able to get in as the cleaning service was still in the process of cleaning the unit. Property manager was notified that pool needed cleanng and pool maintenance crew came the next day and after that it was good. The was plenty of outdoor furniture and it was in good shape. The beds were comfortable and the appliances worked but over all this unit had a lot of wear and tear and really needed a deep clean, repairs and some updates. The back patio deck needed sanding and painting. There was an outdoor grill but it was filthy and there was nothing availabe to clean it with so we had to abandon our barbecue plans. Overall given the cost of the rental we expected it to be in better condition. Thosha,the property manager, was very responsive to texts. On the last day of our stay the lower floor AC unit was not working. Tosha got a technician out and had the unit working within a couple of hours.

We totally loved the unit. Everything was as described in the listing. The pool was a great addition. Access to the beach was perfect.
We will probably be using this unit again!

Nice location, had a great time but ....Pool should be heated through April not March. Televisions are terrible. Only first floor bedroom TV worked. Living room TV kept freezing up and restarting. Two TV's upstairs did not work at all and the other only got the Friends show.

Our experience here was very disappointing. The house is in bad shape. The floors are buckled throughout, and everything is wobbly and shabby. It needs some serious repair. Shower knob doesn’t work so using the shower was a chore. The umbrella on the deck was broken ( not a big deal) and I texted the owner and didn’t hear back until the next day. Nails on the deck and stairs sticking out due to poor repairs. The house next door is being repaired so the view was a pool full of furniture and green. There was also debris and trash all over the property from the building next door. Was a disappointing experience.

The location is great. It is on the sand and has a pool on the sand. Accessible to anything you need within minutes. There was plenty of room for a party of 7 -3 adults/4 kids ages 10-13. The beach is clean, pretty, and has a lot of shells everyday to look thru on walks.
Everything was clean except the toilets and downstairs toilet and shower. The beds were all comfy. The Kitchen was functional. HVAC worked great downstairs and upstairs.

The place was dirty! Had to clean the first day I was there. Spoke with property manager and she was not helpful. Stated she sent clean dishes and cleaning crew out but they only cleaned for the next door. Tried to make compliant with manager but got no where because she stated she did more then enough to accommodate. That was not true. Called in to VRBO to make compliant. Emailed pictures to validate complaints and they reached out to property owner for me. They could not reach owners so left them voicemail to call me directly. Still to this day have not received a contact from them. If I don’t hear back from someone I will never use VRBO again and I may look into legal options because I fill that the property is falsely advertised.

Nice
The house was pretty good. Still needs better cleaning crew. Beer cans were left upstairs. My 9 year old grandson complained about one of the mattresses upstairs. Other than those two minor things very nice. We did bring a canopy for the back deck so we could sit outside rain or shine
4.0
The house is very spacious and the furniture and beds are nice. The kitchen is functional and fairly well stocked.
As long as you don’t mind construction workers on your deck at seven in the morning with compressors and air guns buzzing it’s a great vacation spot. I’m sure this house will be wonderful after the renovation are completed.

Location and amenities are perfect! Home came with plenty of towels, a new charcoal grill and a washer and dryer. The pool was a plus but needed cleaned half way through the week. Didn’t see a pool net so we used a fish net we had. Beds were comfy. Owners were great to work with. Some updates needed such as toaster only worked on one side, no bathroom vents, some plug outlets had issues in upper master, outside deck stairs had a nail popping up. Overall we enjoyed our stay and with a few updates this could be a wonderful property.

Great host and location
Sarah is a wonderful host...very accommodating and friendly. As others have mentioned, the unit could use a little updating. But, I believe that will happen soon. All in all, you cannot beat that location and beach. Just spectacular!! We would certainly visit again.

Loved the space and being on the beach with a pool was ideal. We had a fantastic time and we all fit well in the house BUT- this place needs some serious professional deep cleaning and maintenance. I know you don’t always have control over the cleaning crew but by the looks of the house, this has been an issue for a long time and it needs to be fixed. Having said that- we still had a fantastic time. The location made the vacation.

We have rented many vacation homes on w Beach blvd but this was our first time staying beach front. Quaint Beach home with plenty sleeping room for everyone.
Check in was super easy. All instructions for check out procedures and trash days are clearly posted. All utensiles for cooking and dinning, Beach chairs, umbrella and pool items were all easily found. The pool was the perfect size for use and well maintained.

As a large group of 19 we rented both sides of the duplex in Aug 21'. The total 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms made for great accommodations. Everyone had their own space. The private pool and direct beach access were an amazing win and were as awesome as advertised. There was a restaurant and small convenience store about a 10 minute walk away, otherwise you're driving for other food options and supplies. The owner was very attentive and responsive. We absolutely loved the location.
The only cons were lots of stairs for those that this makes a difference and some items weren't top notch condition, but as a large group with lots of kids this was perfect for us. Items were minor in comparison to all the pros. Thanks for hosting us!

We have always stayed in Fort Morgan (more bang for your buck), but we wanted to be closer to town this time. The location is fabulous, just minutes away from everything. The bedrooms in the house are wonderful (two kings were very comfortable), but the kitchen and living space (furniture especially) were a bit small for the 9 of us. The house could have used a bit more cleaning and scrubbing before we arrived, and unfortunately, the tenants before us broke off many places in the refrigerator, making it hard to use. However, the owners were very quick to respond and were very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The property needs a good scrubbing, dusting both inside and out. Sofas and love seats in both units are old, tired and uncomfortable. Toilet in unit B downstairs bathroom needs attention as it may take half hour to refill. Door lock from living room to balcony on unit A does not align well.
Kitchen cookware etc needs organizing.
To the good: perfect location. Great beach area with lots of room.
