Perfect Property!

House was everything that was advertised and then some. Very clean, great location, great amenities and layout. Worked very well for our family, we will be staying here again. Only negative was that it could use more bath towels, trash bags, and paper towels/toilet paper. This is on the management company though and not the property itself. Thankfully I had read that in another review so packed extra to get us through the week.

Great home with easy beach access

Very comfortable, spacious home, updated home. Well stocked kitchen. Loved the large dining room table and kitchen island seating. Bathrooms were lovely, modern, spacious. Furniture was comfortable. Covered deck was excellent. Downstairs concrete area and yard were great gathering spots for grilling and cornhole (we brought our own set). Did see a few cockroaches inside the home. Primary bedroom comforter was worn and held together with safety pins in one spot. Wine fridge not working. Kitchen sink was a bit leaky. The beach that the home is on does allow vehicles so be aware of that. Overall a great home and we would stay there again.

Great home but needs some maintenance!

On our way to check in I received a phone call from the property manager about some issues with the home. I was told they would not effect our stay, that was a lie. Upon arrival the issues were noticed. The septic tank was out of the ground and on its side, connection to the home was broken so everything that was flushed down the toilet was now in the hole where the septic tank should be connected. Absolutely disgusting and dangerous. Another issue was that the end of the boardwalk going to the beach was washed out due to the recent storm. Not a big deal but the fix was a couple of two by fours to balance on while crossing the cesspool of mosquito infested water. I called the property manager twice about these issues and was told someone would be out to fix them and no one ever showed up. There were also several cockroaches in the kitchen the first night. Other than that our stay was good but I expected a lot more for the amount we spent. We will be staying elsewhere next time.

Not renting again here

Great house and location. Shouldn’t have to bring extra things listed like paper towels and toilet paper, cleaning supply for kitchen, extra bags for trash. Bath soaps too small and too few (from hotels somewhere) Poor communication with management company No WiFi (owners info did not work) the LAST day a handyman came and gave us his way to be connected
