Birthday sleepover
This was a great place to have my daughter’s birthday sleepover! Be aware that there are ALOT of stairs! I had sprained my ankle prior to this stay, so once I made it to the 3rd floor, I stayed there!Would definitely recommend for those who don’t have issues with stairs! Otherwise, this was a beautiful home and a great place for relaxing and spending time with friends and family!

Lovely house, great views!
This house has great views of the bay, and it's very big. It comfortably held my family and my sister's family. It was clean and easy to check in and out. We enjoyed walks along the water and to Shell Beach. It does need some curtains in the master bathroom, because the huge glass windows look out into the neighbors' yards and they can see right into the bathroom. There are a few items that need fixing, like rusting vents and a large hole near one of the backdoors.

Family Beach Getaway
Getting away with family was beautiful, but the rail on the deck was broken and poor quality which limited our time on the deck. We had major issues with the oven warming up properly and all the burners were not operative. The breaker was tripped because most of the electrical outlets were not working which posed to be a major inconvenience. The cooler on the refrigerator which caused the ice cream to be really soft. The screen door was in need of repair when we arrived. Please consider putting some pillows on the lounging chairs on the deck for comfort. Dr. Allen

Beachbox Management do not recommend
Do not recommend. House has mold, second story rail was missing 3foot section. Cleaning people did not finish until 4:45, check in time was 4:00. Floors were filthy. House is in desperate need of deep cleaning. Elevator did not work, not a single outlet in the kitchen worked. So many issues with this rental. Tried contacting host, not a single response. Do not waste your money. Pictures of house are very clearly very old. No blinds in master bath, house is being constructed right next door.

A little disappointing
The property is not being cleaned property. There were several dead bugs in the kitchen light. We encountered several roaches. There was a dirty jar filled with cigarette butts on the patio table. That table was also filthy. Two of the couches were broken. The property is in a good location, but the maintenance is awful.
