We had a wonderful time during our stay at Wags and Waves. Everything you could possibly need to make your stay comfortable was furnished. We would give this rental a 10! Thank you, Bob, Susan, Christina... along with our dog Lucy
The house was amazing and had everything we needed. We will be back!

Everything worked perfectly, convenient location to beach and supplies.
Loved this place. Our 2 dogs had a great time in the fenced in back yard and the walks on the beach were amazing! We would recommend this house to every one.

Thank you so much! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your kind feedback. Please keep us in mind for your next getaway!
The house was beautiful, clean, and better than the posting suggested! Quiet, small neighborhood with a two minute walk to the beach. The management group was quick to respond to any questions we had, and the pool was amazing with a grass, fenced yard for the dogs to play. We LOVED this place and will likely stay again. Super close to the state park, which is one of our favorite places. We cooked every meal in the house and had all we needed. I couldn’t recommend this place more!!!

Amazing location and just a minute from the beach. The house was perfect from towels, instructions, large pool, and big yard for the pup. Only a minute drive to groceries at the post, and the beach was never crowded. Definitely would stay again.

Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness
Shower was full of black mold, washing machine door had sludge and hair. It was disgusting. Luckily they came the day after we arrived to clean it. The master bed was very uncomfortable and we ended up sleeping in a spare bedroom. It was ok but for the amount of money spent, I had higher expectations.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the home did not meet your expectations. As noted during your stay, we responded promptly and had housekeeping return the very next day to address the concerns brought to our attention, as guest experience is always very important to us.
Some of the buildup referenced around fixtures is related to our area’s hard water, which can unfortunately create staining despite regular cleaning and maintenance. We are continually working with the homeowners on long-term improvement solutions.
We also understand comfort preferences, such as mattress firmness, can vary greatly from guest to guest. While we appreciate your perspective, this is not something that has been brought to our attention by other guests.
We encourage future guests to also consider the many other reviews for this property, which consistently reflect positive experiences regarding the cleanliness, care, and overall enjoyment of the home. While we understand not every property is the perfect fit for every traveler, we do always strive to respond quickly and do our best to make things right when concerns are reported during a stay.
Thank you for your feedback! We're so glad you had a great week and appreciated the communication and location. Please keep us in mind for your future travels!
The property was clean and very well stocked. The town is adorable. The walk to the beach was very short. Overall, we loved it. Can’t wait to go back!

This was our second time staying and as always the house is very nice. We had pool issues with it not filtering correctly and not heating for one day other than that it was a great stay for my family. We did have issues with the pool the first time we stayed so that why we only give four stars. The house and location is great!
