We're delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed the great location and ample space to relax. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
Overall our stay was good !! The house was clean and stocked well. Patio furniture needs to be replaced and could not get outside lights to come on. There was a bee hive starting to form by the stairs to go in and one of the kids was stung. Tried to contact someone about the bees and did not get any response.
Our stay at the house was great. The only issue was that the bedroom TVs showed "No Signal" on all the various inputs. We called the problem in twice, but nobody came to fix the issue.

Lots of small problems but the management company was all over every problem! The couch is so uncomfortable the floor was a better choice. It’s all a sectional but not one piece secure then just so incredibly uncomfortable. Oven was dirty, bout lit a grease fire, toilet sewerage came out of the pipes, couldn’t use one of the two toilets while stay but I did get 400 compensation for that. None of the outdoor lights on stairs, deck or front porch worked but mgmt came asap to fix! Need some tlc on this place but great AC! Great beds! Great location!!

Disappointed
When we drove up it was disappointing. Went inside and the porch rocking chair & other furniture that we were looking forward to was not just rusty & broken, but unusable! You could see this through the windows. Dirty appliances, kitchen cabinets peeling, bedding dirty, capri sun trash left on beds, dirty placemats & table, hair on pillows,outside lighting inoperable, hair scrunchie on bathroom floor by toilet, loose toilet handle & seat. I called management office because supposedly an inspector comes by before each check in. They did send housekeeping back over and a maintenance worker. But my goodness, don't claim updated in listing. The only thing going for it is location & view. Premium price but mediocre accommodations.

Sand and Sea was great, responded to our needs quickly. House was close to the beach.
Overall impression, The house had no curb appeal. It has not been well taken care of, there was bird poop on the balcony railings, paint peeling off, it obviously had not been cleaned before we arrived. The inside was clean, cute and comfortable.
We enjoyed the stay, but would not rent it again.
