Flooded

Unfortunately we were there when Debby came through. Master bedroom rain came through the ceiling lights. Guest room ceiling leaked in 3 places flooding the floors. Basement bay window leaked through and flooded the floor. Basement bathroom had mold all over. Could be a lovely home but needs a lot of work. Won’t stay again

Beautiful house on the beach!

This is a beautiful large house that was big enough for our family of 12, and I certainly appreciated that they allowed pets since houses like that are getting harder to find. It looked like the backside of the outside of the house needed some work but I wasn’t upset about it as I know the salty water can cause some issues over time. The inside of the house was well maintained and the extra appliances definitely helped with our larger group keeping up with dishes, laundry and food. The location of the house was very low key with not much to do in that area, but it sits in between Emerald and Atlantic so most things were within a short driving distance. The only complaint anyone really had was the very bottom rooms were hotter than the rest of the house, but other than that the house was awesome as the kids put it and were wanting me to book it again for next year. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with our family and if we do decide to come back to the area we would definitely rent this home again if it’s available!

Slightly disappointed

I don’t want to post negatively because the owner seems like a great guy, but this place needs some TLC. It has potential to be worth its price, but it’s not there yet. The pool table is for kids, I’ll start and finish with that. As I said, I don’t want to be negative. The house has very comfortable beds, and amazing views. Its location is close to some great local dining. Despite this we wouldn’t stay here again. This was a group of retired Marines and we are used to a luxurious home with NO issues. For this price you expect that.

Disappointed

The Oceanfront Victorian Mansion was in disrepair on the outside, including an active wasp nest which my son in-law removed after going to the store to get wasp killer. The owner was there when we arrived and was repairing the deck by the pool, apparently it had rotted boards. The pool and hot tub were dirty both had sand and leaves in them. Also the hot tub didn’t get hot and had no cover! Very dangerous for my two grandchildren ages three and 20 months. The owner came to fix it by the third day. No gate at the top of a full staircase leading to the pool and the two baby gates were old and broken. There was no high chair which was in the description and the crib they advertised was old and needs to be assembled. The floors were dusty and behind the couch was popcorn, broken crackers, lip gloss and two unidentifiable red pills which my 20 month old grandson found!! The house was very warm when we arrived and when we turned the water on it was brown. I assume it wasn’t used in a while. The exterior looks very run down and needs to be painted and the decking gave some guests splinters. The grill was so dirty my son in-law spent over 30 minutes to clean the grates before he could cook. We tried to use it the night before and found the igniter was broken 😞 we used a match to light it and the oven to finish cooking our meat. The list of things is very long that made this house a disappointment but we did not let it ruin our vacation, we made great memories!!

Overall the place was clean and plenty of room. The windows on main floor need some updating because a few are difficult to see the fantastic view. The view is everything and the ease at watching grandkids go up and down the beach was so relaxing. Kitchen and dining was a great area because our group was huge. Great time.

Family Vacation

Overall our family enjoyed our time on Indian Beach and at the house. The property was large and easily accommodated our family; plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry facilities, etc. The beach was fantastic, not crowded at all, even over a holiday week. The owners did reach out to let us know upon our arrival of issues with the second dishwasher which didn't impact our stay. Overall, the house looked like it needed some exterior maintenance (not surprising being oceanfront). The interior was mostly clean except for the floors which looked like they hadn't been swept when we arrived. The house overall met our needs and the location was fantastic.

Poorly managed Property

Beautiful home and location. House is just in pretty significant disrepair. Pretty much all the things on the reviews from a year ago still a problem. Dishwasher not working from day one. Hot Tub quit Wednesday. Huge cockroaches everywhere. Sheetrock walls cut open and left exposed on at least 10 different areas of the house. Ac doesn’t reach the upstairs master. Black mold visible in at least three different locations. Trash can was by the pool when we arrived and so full of garbage and stinky it took three grown men to even lift it. Front windows leak when it rains. Doors outside rusty and the exterior trim looks like it’s needed paint for 5 years.. Mainly just disappointed because the home is gorgeous and the beach location is prime! If properly managed and maintained it would be a five star stay.

Blown Away!

Beautiful views of sunrises & sunsets set to the rhythm of the waves - right on the ocean! Lots of space for privacy & gathering (inside & outside) for our large family of all ages - 9 adults & 4 children. Located almost midway on the island with grocery stores, restaurants & shopping at both ends of the island, which meant not a lot of tourist traffic if you are staying during “the season”. This home delivered exactly what we were looking for in a home & location. Simply put, we were blown away with how well the house suited our needs.

I read the reviews but figured only people who complain write them, I was wrong.

1) Hot tub not working - We stayed 10 days still not working no ETU. Like all the other items that have been reported for years as not working and then the owner lies and says repaired. Don't believe them. 2) Both gas grills not working - We had 20 adults with us and had over $500 in food to cook. Grills are cheap and both did not work due to the gas being disconnected and the regulator dying from the salt air. Like the jacuzzi this was not checked by the owner before our arrival. We spent hours cooking the food in the house. The owner asked if we needed a new grill 2 days later. I never responded to a ridiculous question. Owner brought another cheap grill that will again be dead soon. Note to owner buy a grill that suits a $1.5M beachhouse with a 10 year warranty rather than a trailer park unit with a 90 day warranty. It will not last 30 days in salt air. 3) Dishwasher has error code does not work. This has not worked in years even though they will claim after I post this that it is fixed, just like the others. 4) Washer does not work. This has not worked in years even though they will claim after I post this that it is fixed, just like the others. 5) Toaster blows circuit breaker when using at same time as microwave. 6) Extension cord drapped over entryway to run refrigerator and coffee maker 7) Extension cord (Fire Hazard) pinched in door that powers TV in lower bedroom 8) Multiple exposed wires sticking out of walls and ceilings 9) There are not smoke detectors in every room as stated in the Safey information on VRBO. There are many missing and only 3 of which only 1 works downstairs. The safety items are quite concerning and wiring does not appear up to code along with missing smoke detectors. I was one call away from calling VRBO about the safety concerns. Hopefully no one gets injured and this serves as a record if they do in the future. Stay away do not rent here!!! Dishonest owner who could care less about the condition of items that are claimed to be working. If you using Grill and Jacuzzi search criteria, scratch this off your list, they will not be working when you get here. Do not believe them when they post after I do that everything has been fixed. Go back a few years, same items are still not working. If you want pictures of the safety related items my email is keithchristopherz@gmail.com

Needs Some Work

The location is perfect. Beach is basically private in front of the home. House size and layout is excellent for a large group. The property was, however, in general disrepair. Half of the outlets in the kitchen did not work. One of the dishwashers did not work. One of the clothes dryers did not work. The main stove and oven did not have power. The main refrigerator did not have power. The hot tub did not work. The deck by the beach and the deck by the pool were damaged to the the point that I would question their structural integrity. The owner was very responsive to the issues we had and even went so far as to buy dinner for our entire group of 11. That said, many of the things we had problems with did not get fixed and the group that was coming behind us surely faced all of the same challenges we did. This is unfortunate. The property has a great deal of potential. All in all we had a great time and the property has so many duplicated amenities that you can get by if half of them don't work. That said, for the money, you would expect to get what's advertised!

Family Memories

The property was found to be as described..plenty of room for our family to join together for meals and or have some alone time when desired. We had a large group of 24 along with the family dog. The large pool was a hit for all as well as the proximity to the beach. A very family oriented area. We did complete some additional cleaning to the bath & shower areas in the house as well as the kitchen area's to meet our expectations during our stay.

Amazing location - perfect for large groups!

We had 7 couples stay for a week at the beach. This house is prefect for large groups - kitchen with all the appliances, dishes and tools you will need, 3 fridges, ice machine, large dining room table, 2 washer/dryers, 2 dishwashers, and lots of couches in the TV room. We loved the deck with rockers, the pool, and being so close to the water! I was concerned as there were a few negative reviews, but we did not have a negative experience at all. The owners were communicative, everything was functional, pool was clean, etc. It is obviously not brand new construction, but truly a great place for a large group to gather and spend time at the beach.
