This is a lovely oasis by the ocean. The pool is top notch. Generally, the house is well maintained and appointed. The kitchen is great! The beds are comfy. We very much enjoyed our stay. To earn a five star review, I’d recommend fixing a few things that need attention (shared with the owners) and being more responsive to questions / communication via the app.

All good

We had a Love/Hate relationship with the property. The location was awesome with breathtaking sunrises and unrestricted direct views of the ocean. The home is spacious and the layout was really excellent with basically two master bedrooms it made entertaining very nice.The owners genuinely cared about our satisfaction, were very responsive, and did everything they could to make our stay pleasant.The first few days were trying as is often the case with a VRBO. The home was generally clean, but the dishes were dirty, we had ants in the pantry & kitchen, which they sent an exterminator for, I had to clean the tracks and put down dry lubricant on all the sliding doors, as the doors would not budge when we got there. We had to replace the air filters on both furnaces as they were filthy. The house smelled musty and they had electric air fresheners trying to mask the stale oder. We basically re-cleaned the entire place, but understand we are a bit obsessive. The beach access is fine, a short walk down the driveway and a shared sidewalk with all residents, although not being direct anymore, it is not nearly as convenient. The pool was kept clean and was set at 80, so very happy with that.They had new lounge chairs but the rest of the outdoor seating was old, some broken, poor quality cushions, etc. They had new beach towels & umbrellas. The furnishings are not what you expect in Florida, they appear to be all brought from up north, heavy wood antiques.

Several issues with the house, there were electrical outlets hanging out of the wall in the bedroom, exposed wires hanging out of a receptacle on the patio and found the receptacle laying in the back yard. Jacuzzi hot tub would not work, sent host a text and was told Anthony would be calling me and never received that call, also if you took a bath in the Jacuzzi Tub it took several hours to drain. Another disappointment, which was my fault for not researching the property better was we were under the impression we could walk directly down onto the beach but when we arrived there was no direct access, but again that's on me. Outside grill could be updated. As for Vero beach there just wasn't anything we found fun for the kids to do so we left two days early and went to Orlando.
