Family Spring Break
The location was perfect with our own easy beach access. The house was clean and comfortable. The only issue was the dishwasher was broken. Regardless we had a great time!

Beware! Beware! This home is in total disrepair.
Before I start let me say that we have traveled the world and stayed in many homes and condos, so I do not take writing this review lightly. First the good. Location Location, this home is literally right on the beach. No dunes or walkway to walk over. It has a nice balcony overlooking the ocean and the underneath the home is a large deck area that has picnic tables, grill, outdoor shower (with hot water), and a hose to wash down chairs etc. Inside, the main room and kitchen allow for everyone in your group to be in the same room with plenty of seating. Now the negative. The dishwasher falls forward everytime you open the door because it is not attached to the cabinet. We also had to wash dishes by hand because the wash runs and dries but does not dispense the soap. The pods would just lay at the bottom. The grill is on its last legs and we had no propane. We called Ryson and they came out and brought propane but the grill still did not work. We asked about getting another grill and the Ryson people told us they would have to get permission from the owners. The faucet in the kitchen was not fully attached to the sink and flopped around. There were two steps on the outside stairs where the front panel would flop forward creating a trip hazard. The refrigerator worked but not very well, the back door to the deck was so bad I almost could not get it closed and the floor in the Master bedroom was peeling up and very soft. There were other minor issues too many to list.

We had a great time with our family. Location was perfect. Beach house was in rough condition and bathtubs would not drain properly. Overall it was a memorable family vacation.
