Nice place, corporate management

House was nice, clean, furnished with what was needed but sparse. This is a corporate property manager managing multiple properties. Additional fees/taxes made the nightly rate almost twice the advertised rate on vrbo. You sign a separate contract with them, there is no flexibility with early check-in or late checkout, if you need help you speak with a call center overseas or message through the vrbo app only. If you happen to wash off your wetsuits after surfing, you will get an email about a potential water leak from the property manager. We needed lighter fluid for the grill (why not provide a propane grill instead of a charcoal grill given the very high nightly rate?). We had to call an overseas call center, communicate through the app, and never got the lighter fluid. Not a personal experience, a management company that ought to do their own booking instead of having people think this is a "vacation rental by owner".
