The house has great bones. Steps to private beach and that was wonderful! So nice that all of the rooms had their own bathroom and shower except one. Our family of 9 had plenty of space if we needed it and we were able to cozy up in living room and at dinner table. Didn't really utilize deck because not enough outdoor chairs since some we're broken. The grill needs TLC we couldn't use it. The pictures are not current. Cleaning staff needs to pay attention to details and the couch needs a good deep cleaning. The rooms were spacious beds were comfy but the house wasn't set up/staged for guests. 3 of the beds had sheets and a thin blanket, no comforters. Updates and attention to detail is in order. Plenty of bath and wash towels were provided for all of our guests but no beach towels. Prepare to bring EVERYTHING you need to cook and daily use. I had to buy a large cookie sheet, several paper towels rolls, toilet paper, detergent, dish soap, dishwasher pods (dishwasher did not clean well). In hind site, not worth the price of the stay with all that I had to provide on top of it all.

Nice property. I would suggest a covering for a window in one of the downstairs bedrooms. We were there during a lightning storm. The window is high above a bed. It looked like at some point there had been a shade on that odd shaped window.

It has an amazing view. Plenty of space for the 14. Short distance to the Beach.
Great space for cooking and plenty of room for comfortable dining. Refrigerator is not as large as accustomed. No icemaker or water. Only big issue is all the toilets are very low to the floor. Difficult for older folks and no bars to lift up.

The property was great, and so was the management. We did find bugs and most of our luggage is still in the car because we are afraid to bring the bugs in. The toilets worked sometimes

This was the perfect house for all 14 of us. I had one family who wanted their kids to sleep with them and needed the king size, another family didn't want their kids to sleep with them and we had a bunk room with the trundle bed for them, but they also wanted their own bathroom and king size bed. Most rooms had a beach view. The bunk and one of the queen size rooms didn't have a beach view. The open area with the living room and kitchen was wall to wall windows with the best ocean views. Kitchen was spacious for multiple people to cook. So much sitting areas from the deck to inside. We even had a small high table for our puzzle time. Little tables for the kids to draw and do crafts or eat. The garage had tons of sand toys, kites, wagons, a couple of kid bikes. It had a chiminea so we could make stores. There were plenty of cookware, dishes, utensils. We brought spices, plastic cups, paper plates and dish soap, toilet paper. Plenty of parking for 4 cars. We made some wonderful amazing memories there!!! One person complained about the queen size bed being too firm but I slept on it and it was fine for me.
The beach was not busy and beach access was very close to the house too. We would definitely want to come back!!!

Great location. Loved the openness and windows/glass doors all around
Great property and location. We had 11 people and it worked out fine.

The location and property are overall great and we'd stay there again. Only some minor items like a broken bathroom door (which was clearly labeled to notify us) and some kitchen surfaces that needed further cleaning upon arrival. Otherwise the setup is great for a family gathering and the living space is nice and open for a relaxing vacation. The oceanview windows are fantastic.

Overall, this place was perfect for a large family to stay and enjoy the beach. The only exceptions were the queen size beds whose mattresses were old and too hard, and communications with maintenance. I left two messages for maintenance and never heard whether they received them or would act on the issues.
