Nothing good to say about the property

The failure on my part was not paying enough attention to negative reviews. In my defense I was in a rush to find a place that would allow a larger dog. Also, suspiciously many of the positive reviews appear to be duplicates, but perhaps are fed in from questionnaire responses externally from direct rentals from management company's site. This place is extremely outdated, and tiny. It is nestled in the midst of very nice and what appears to be well maintained properties. The owners of this one take the cheap route to maintain the place. Examples: lamps in the main bedroom didn't work - not the bulbs, the lamps themselves did not turn on due to bad switches. Plateware and utensils were ragged and some were actually dirty - as in not cleaned from previous use. All furniture was ragged, stains on cloth seating, generally everything somewhat dirty. The mini split air conditioner did not work in the bedroom, which I found previously reported as "faulty" in an earlier review but did not work at all for us. As a result bedroom was very hot and had to rely on fans to try to pull cooler air from living room. Lots of insects inside the unit. Property management was responsive about the AC problem and tried to be helpful, they tried sending for AC repair but could not be completed in the time we would be there, so we decided to check out early and management offered a partial refund - I have not yet received it but it's only been 1 day.

Great little beach spot

I feel like the bio should mention how long the walk through the dunes is and that there are no board walks. We ended up buying a wagon to trudge out chairs and cooler. Place was clean and cozy otherwise!

Cold in the winter

Although this is a cute place and super convenient to the beach, it lacks heat in the winter with air conditioning only. We stayed there on a cold weekend and used the fireplace as our source for warmth. I would rent again in the summer only.

Great weekend getaway

Cute beach house, just steps away from the dunes and beach. The location is great, wonderful neighborhood to walk around and close to downtown restaurants and pier. Property managers were great in providing information, easy check in and check out.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved this cute house with a fabulous observation tower, screen porch and brick inside walls! Location perfect for everything. Neighbors friendly and helpful. Only disappointment was the extra cleaning fee for our small dog and no extra cleaning done from last pets and renters. Lots of hair, a medicine, flip flop, etc. under the bed. 30 minutes of cleaning bin of vacuum from accumulated dog hair, etc. Property management made excuse of quick turnover - not acceptable.

Cottage was quite lovely and close to everything. Property managers were very, very easy to deal with and went above and beyond! They even credited me my pet fee after we decided to leave our dog at home. I hope to return again and again. Would highly recommend to everyone.

Lovely time for a quick family getaway!

My husband, son (11), dog (13 spaniel) and myself had the pleasure of staying at this property for Fall Break. LOCATION is AMAZING !!!! It's right at the public beach access but try during the day vs night time unless there is a full moon. The walk was frustrating at first but quickly became something I looked forward to doing. The house was exactly what we needed and nothing more. The big deck was awesome but we got eaten alive by the red mites. The deck needs to be re-done soon but is such an asset to the property. If you are seeking a quaint, quiet and relaxing vacation this is a perfect spot.

Nice quiet beach getaway.

Georgia Coast Realty was excellent- quickly responded to take care of any issues we had. Property is in a great location but is quite old and needs some updates - but for the price was just fine.

Great Cottage

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: Home was very clean and in a quiet location in East Beach. The exposed brick is a neat look. Steps away from the beach walkover, and maybe a 5 minute walk in total from the door of the house through the dunes to get to the beach. Lots of dishes, cooking utensils and pots/pans. Downstairs was always nice and cool, but the upstairs loft tended to be warmer than downstairs (there is an A/C unit up there that we did not adjust during our stay) We had a wonderful time and we will definitely stay here again.

a lovely respite

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: Info is needed for the renter about what to do at checkout. There were no instructions at all. The electric power went out in the kitchen the first time both the toaster and coffee maker were plugged in at the same time. We had to search for the fuse box which was outside in the little storage shed.Otherwise, it's a lovely little house to stay in. Thank you for help with the last-minute reservation.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful older brick cottage, very clean. We were able to take our 2 dogs, nice because they are allowed on the beach, in leash, until Memorial weekend. Very quiet location, lovely palm trees , honeysuckle trellis and sweet smelling flowers. We did have a view from the raised deck, photos need updating , trees have grown taller. The inside is much nicer than what is shown in the photos and the porch has furniture and a dining table. Loved the outside shower connected to bathroom by a door, would have been nice to have a raised wooden platform to keep your feet off the sandy flooring.There were plenty of dishes, flat wear , pots, pans, etc. Bring any staples that you use. Had one problem with the dishwasher , a repair person came with in 40 minutes!We would definitely return!
