Property was wonderful, some upgrades are needed

We had a wonderful time at your rental for our vacation. Property was beautiful as described and walking distance to the beach. A few upgrades would make it perfect. The mattresses could be replaced, they were very soft with no support. We had a group of 10 and there was plenty of room for us but the kitchen cookware didn't work for a large family. There were only small size pots/pans. Very difficult to cook for a large group. The shower heads had week pressure and could be upgraded. With these upgrades 5he rental would be perfect!

Unlimited Sunshine

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental house was a good over all experience. The house was ready at the correct time. The rental company was good to work with. We had a electrical problem with the hot tub, they were quick to get it repaired with in 2 days. The only complaint I had about the property was the back yard. There was no shade whatsoever. The concrete and decking boards were so hot that the kids could not stand or play in the back yard without blistering your feet. We had to buy a pop up tent to provide shade for the kids to play or sit outside. Other that that everything was as expected about the property. We Would stay again.

Walking distance to beach/safety issues

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay was good, but there are several safety issues in this home. Railing on top balcony, multiple areas loose. Bunkbeds unsafe for sleep. Stairs need better gate closure. One of the hightop chairs was missing most of its support, thankfully we noticed before our kids sat in the chair. For future renters...not ideal layout for families with small children, beds are uncomfortable. House is clean and nicely decorated, major appliances worked (thats all we used), hot tub was nice. Proximity to the beach was good,

This property was just okay.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of the property was fine. I would recommend replacing all carpets as I didn't want to take my shoes off because the house reeked of urine. I booked last minute to accommodate my 82 year old mother-in-law with her dog that never has accidents and once we were inside and hit with the ammonia smell we were fearful he would mark. He did not and we made sure. Overall the stay was just okay.

Nice but a little disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We chose this property because it was handicap accessible. My adult son is wheelchair bound. The beach access stated handicap accessible but in reality they were not. House was nice but needed some upgrades. The mattress in the king bedroom had a spring poking out. The living room furniture was very uncomfortable. Chair to the hair table was missing rungs very dangerous for a fall. Several on the railings on the deck need to be firmly attached.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our family vacation very much. The home was a great size for our family and we enjoyed the pool It was a little further from the beach than we would have liked and there were some minor repair issues with the house. The refrigerator froze items even when put on a lower than recommended setting. Some of the faucets leaked or were difficult to turn off. Overall very nice home with a nice game room.

The house was very comfortable. The hot tub was enjoyed.This is a suggestion, grab bars in the showers would really be nice. We left a coffee pot on the counter by the sink, it has a hairline crack on the bottom, we did not find out until the first pot of coffee and the heat caused the pot to leak.

Hi there! So this property worked well for us (6 adults and 3 teenagers), but “ocean view” is a big stretch. It was not quite as advertised but close. Elevator was nice. Oddly skimpy with towels. Short stroll to the beach, close to everything, lovely gathering space for the family on the 3rd floor.—inquiries were responded to, speed of response varied. Nothing critical—we received an automated email in the wee early hours on Thursday saying Thank You and giving check out directions (we were not checking out until Friday). Caused some unneeded panic. Could tailor that a bit with “your checkout date is xx, here are directions”Thank you!

Very clean. No sand or grit anywhere. No shade options in pool area. No functional lighting in pantry but pantry very large and spacious to use if you dont mind using your phone flashlight. Great hot tub & pool. Fun beachy decorations throughout. Very nice elevator.

Carpeting in dog friendly house, not good idea. Had to buy febreeze and use plug-in to mask odor. King size bed actually 2 mattresses pushed together. Access to beach taxing for one in our party. Incline to get over dunes difficult for her. Pool was wonderful. Lay out of house was very nice and accommodating. Items I.e. baking sheets & plastic bowls were brand new, Having bed sheets and towels/washcloths provided was extremely nice.

Reviewer Comments: While I was very satisfied with the rental‘s location and cleanliness, I do think a few minor upgrades/updates would have greatly enhanced the experience. New mattresses in all the bedrooms are overdue and the showerheads should be replaced. The kitchen is well equipped, but the coffeemaker needs replaced. Those minor changes would make a major difference in the overall experience.
