We had a lovely time and fell in love with the wave house, especially the kids playroom and the mesmerizing wave window! 3 queen beds in 3 good size bedrooms and 3 full baths. Hot tub and warm outdoor shower was divine after a day in the ocean, a very short walk from the beach cove at Moran lake.

Great stay in Pleasure Point

We had some friends and family in town and rented this place so we could all stay together under the same roof. Plenty of room for everyone and the upstairs living room and balcony was the favorite spot to hang and enjoy the view. Walkable to multiple beaches and all the shops and eats on 41st Av.

Exceded expectations!

This house is awesome--modern, spotless, and in a superb location. We had plenty of room for six of us (two couples and two teenagers). Downstairs there are three queen-sized bedrooms and three full bathrooms, and then a fun little hidden loft room with two twin beds. The view from the very upstairs is beautiful. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed. I can't recommend highly enough!

Great house, mediocre management company

We overall enjoyed our stay at this home. It has a great location, is nicely remodeled throughout and has an ocean view from the top floor. Unfortunately, so many details were overlooked by the management company. The fridge was broken, the dishwasher was broken, there weren't any covers on the feather duvets leaving you to wonder who else had slept with that same uncovered duvet, the pillows felt like they had been sent through a shredder, and fixtures in the bathrooms were falling off the walls. The real problem for us is when we told the management company about all of our issues, they said they would come check it out during our stay and then they never did. They tried to remedy the duvet situation by dropping off brand new duvet covers in their packages on our doorsteps leaving us to launder and then spend time putting them on all the beds. Not exactly the type of service you come to expect with an expensive rental property. All of these issues can be easily fixed, so I hope the rental company takes this review to heart and does a better job in the future.

The loft beds are really just for small children.

The location is fantastic. The size and location of the 4th bedroom is awkward - really a room/loft for small kids. To get to it you have to climb through a smallish doorway.
