Good AC and close to Beach

Plenty of room for our family of nine. Straight shot to beach access (one block walk). Road adjacent to home was long and quiet for walking our dog or taking a morning run.

Great stay

The property was wonderful and matched the listing. We loved that access to the beach was so close and the view from the house was beautiful. There are so many good restaurants very close by. The house was very clean, cozy and there was plenty of sleeping options for everyone. The area is beautiful and peaceful.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Check-in was easy. The PM was communicative. The beds and linens were clean. The first impression is that the listing pictures must be a decade old. The house was absolutely filthy. I provided pictures to the PM of dirty walls, dirty bathroom floors with previous renters hair, dirty kitchen drawers and the worst carpet I have ever seen. The couches and carpet smelled strongly of urine and were quite unpleasant. The PM stated that the house had a deep clean a few months before but the dust caked on the walls and black floor vents and filters tell a different story. The kitchen was so poorly stocked I had to bring my own pots and pans.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m really sorry to hear the home didn’t meet your expectations. I truly care about the comfort and experience of every guest, and it’s disappointing to know you felt otherwise. My cleaning team follows a detailed checklist after each stay, and the home also receives regular deep cleanings throughout the year, so your comments are something I take very seriously. I just wish I had known about your concerns sooner, as I would have been happy to send the team back right away to make things right for you. When you mentioned the issues mid-stay, I offered to stop by and bring an air freshener or address anything that might help, but I completely understand your decision to decline. I genuinely appreciate you sharing this with me so I can make sure everything is rechecked and freshened up for future guests.

Great location, needs updated.

Overall we found this property to be in a great location with functional spaces. It served its purpose but was generally underwhelming. It appeared superficially clean, but desperately needs a deep clean and updating. Property manager responded promptly when there was an issue with the smoke detector.

Appreciate your review and feedback. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the location and found the spaces functional. I apologize if the property did not fully meet your expectations. We have scheduled deep cleans regularly, but I will look into this further, as cleanliness and guest comfort are my top priorities. I always encourage guests to reach out during their stay so I can address any concerns promptly, as I did with the smoke detector issue. I appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for a more satisfying experience in the future!

Home Has Potential

This home has potential, great location, however needs a major overhaul on inside. Nice floor plan, however, house is older and it shows. Stained carpet needs replacing, screens on porch torn and ripped, one of the shades on porch had fallen down. Walls scuffed and in need of painting. Kitchen pans old and dirty. Furniture is old and appears 2nd hand. Open area under house strewn with debris. Exterior nice with wrap around deck.
