Amenities in this rental are minimal. Coffee was provided but creamer was not provided and when I asked about it because sugar was provided, I was curtly informed that coffee is not a provided amenity. I have stayed in many short-term rentals and never have I stayed in one where coffee wasn't provided. That would be like not providing shampoo or towels. Who does that? Maybe they don't know they are in the hospitality industry. Very few amenities beyond the bare minimum are provided unless you count the ocean. For example, small things like Kleenex or lotion are not provided. Kitchen supplies are minimal. This place looks and feels like it is run by a property management company looking to scratch out every nickel. The view is amazing but there are plenty of places with amazing ocean views.
This house was very clean and bright. It had everything we needed and my family said it was their favorite beach house so far. Then bunk beds were full or queen size (not sure) but large enough for two in each bed. The kitchen was well equiped and, of course, the beach access was amazing. Would defintely rent again.
The beach house was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed to have a wonderful time. Our family had a very nice time. The views are stunning and the beach is very private. The host was excellent when I had questions.
Couldn’t have asked for a better beach house! This lovely home is just steps from the beach and ideally set up inside for evening gatherings. The decor is beautiful with very comfortable beds and lots of seating. It was a bonus to have beach chairs towels and toys available too. We will be back!
Beautiful, beautiful and more beautiful! The pictures don’t make justice to the place! I rented the house with 8 friends, we had the most wonderful time living in paradise! Waking up every morning and watching the beach and sea in front of my eyes was priceless! The house was clean, comfortable and well equipped! I can’t wait to go back! The host super responsive!
House was beautiful and just as pictured. The ocean view can be seen just sitting on the couch. It was nice to be on your private beach with just a walk down the steps.

Great location
We loved the location and the house was good. The master bedroom mattress needs to be replaced we sunk in and our back are very sore, the house could also use some more beach chairs and boogie boards for the guests. Also cleaning crew needs to be more efficient, there was a dirty diaper left from the previous renters on the couch. Otherwise we had an awesome time and would definitely return.
Loved the house and patio was really nice. Lots of room and couldn't get better access to the beach. Check in was easy. Would stay here again!

The pros:
-We loved the house.
-It was immaculate.
-Kitchen was well stocked.
-The towels were fluffy.
-The layout was perfect for our family.
The cons:
-A gas grill was pictured in the listing. There was no grill. The host said a propane grill would be delivered. It was not. On the evening before we checked out, a gas grill was delivered. It was too late for our use. However, the host said we would be offered a discount for our inconvenience.
-Beach chairs were in the listing to be provided. They were not. The host said the plastic Adirondack-type chairs on the deck were beach chairs. Beach chairs fold and can be easily carried to the beach.
-There was not a fire pit. If an amenity is listed/pictured in the listing, it should be there. If not, remove it from the listing.
-The sliding door did not lock. The lock was broken. This is a safety issue.
Suggestion:
-The house number is on the house but there is not a number on the roadside. It would have been easier to locate the house with it being at roadside since it’s on a high-speed road.
If discrepancies are corrected, we would love to rent this beach house again. In fact, we would like to rent it again in June, 2023.
Thank you,
Judy Skjordahl
Listing said sleeps 11 but we've never stayed somewhere that you need to use a couch for that. Property manager was great and very responsive. House was clean but needs a lot of work, mostly drywall issues. The deck stairs to beach I think are dangerously worn. The deck itself was wobbly. I expected more from a house at this price point.
