Great stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Fun and perfect home for my group of 8 high school senior gals and two moms. Pool was heated per request and it was a blessing since a little chilly. Location was perfect across street literally from beach access. Any “homel issues were addressed “immediately” within the day. We had a couple random “wear and tear” but otherwise great. Had three palmetto bug sittings to deal with but company came and sprayed but hard to avoid House was clean and fresh upon entry. Rugs throughout could be replaced with new / fresh version but that’s picky. Overall, very pleased with response time of benchmark. Only request is better communication on front end. My pre-trip email arrived on the Friday we were wrapping up (4/4) and I had to call and request info on March 29 (I should have received info via email that day). But Again service was good and always addressed. Can’t say enough about response and assistance from maintenance. Very good! Highly recommend this property for large group.

Great house for large group

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: This house worked out great for our large group of 15. Having separate bathrooms in every room was amazing! The house was clean. Location is great with a short walk to the beach and just a mile walk to Seaside which was a really fun place to hang out. Beware there are a lot of stairs. This didn’t affect us too much but for anyone who may have mobility issues, there is a bedroom on the second and third floors and stairs to get down to the beach. Hope to be back some day!

Perfect for a large family or multi-family!

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: We loved our stay at 3 By the Sea + you& me! The home has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms plus an upstairs room with huge L-shaped couch, a closet with bedding, a pingpong table and 1 of the full bathrooms. It could be a 7th bedroom. (Our two 11 year olds were thrilled to have their own space complete with a large TV for the Wii) The proximity to the beach access was an easy 1 min walk! They have an ice machine and all the dishes, appliances you could want. We had 15 people and everyone had space to hang out. The only issues we had were with the says connected but wouldn't. We texted with the management about it but other than being told to unplug for 60 sec (that didn't work) it never worked. When we arrived, it was super clean inside the property but the backyard had trash, beer cans, broken toys etc in the plants and bushes (this was a minor clean up we did ourselves) Overall we give this 5 out of 5! We would definitely stay again!

Great location and space, but need a few things fixed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time at this property. There are a few things that need updated to make the place better. For a house that sleeps 16 people, there were only 12 forks. The pans are very used and almost impossible to use and clean. Also, the kitchen rug is absolutely filthy and needs replaced. There were old, deflated pool toys out by the pool and beer cans in the bushes. Also, most of the TV's didn't work. It was hard to switch over to live tv, Netflix, etc. The location was perfect and the living space was great for our large family. If the little details could be fixed, this place is perfection.
