Beautiful location and style but not well maintained. Plants dead or dying and facade needs repair. One bed was very stained and had to be washed before use. Chaise lounges broken and unusable. Overall happy but could match photographs better regarding condition.

This beach house is open, with windows looking out to the ocean. First row beach. Living and dining areas and kitchen are spacious. It needs some serious work with downstairs lighting at night, A/C leaked into the living area one night. Dishwasher did not work so we had to do dishes by hand. Storm shutters did not work, so the sun was very bright in the mornings as the drapes are sheer/see through. If they fix the issues we experienced it will be a great vacation home.
We stayed at this property from July 16–19, and unfortunately our experience was very disappointing.When we arrived, the house was 80F and the refrigerator was warm. The check-in instructions said to allow 24 hours for both to regulate, but neither improved. The house stayed between 78–80F for our entire stay.I called 6–7 times requesting maintenance. On Friday, I was repeatedly told someone would come out that day, but no one ever did. I also reported the refrigerator leaking water and not cooling. On Saturday afternoon, I was finally told the earliest someone could check the AC would be Monday—after our Sunday checkout.We paid over 3,600 for this rental and spent the entire vacation without air conditioning. Our group included 8 adults (including a senior), 3 children, and an infant. It was so hot we had to buy fans just to make it somewhat bearable.There were also safety and maintenance concerns, including a balcony door in the kids’ bunk room that wouldn’t lock despite a 15 foot drop, along with broken chairs left in the house and on the balcony.The location was great, but the lack of AC, poor communication, delayed maintenance, and unresolved issues made what should have been a relaxing family vacation very disappointing. I understand maintenance problems happen, but the lack of urgency and communication was unacceptable.

No curtains in upstairs bedrooms except for sheer ones. Doors to outside patio off kitchen had locks that were corroded and didn’t lock. Had small toddlers so it was an issue. Bunk bed bath had no towel rods.

The pictures online are not true to the house. Very outdated! Air conditioning did not work properly.Refrigerator did not cool. Primary bathtub faucet is broken. We had to go buy eye mask because all they had were sheer curtains. We were told we weren’t to only ones to complain about the house. It could be an amazing place.

You are paying for the amazing views, which it definitely had. Other than that, I would not recommend. This was a very expensive rental and I thought I was paying for luxury. This was not luxury. The A/C did not keep the house cool enough. Faucets are broken in both bathrooms. It is very apparent there is little, if any, upkeep on this property. It is a big space with great views. The inside of the house is off putting. The stove has the backsplash ripped off. The walls are horrible. It is outdated and just a crazy amount of money to pay. I expect my vacation rental to be an upgrade from my existing home. I could get none of the balcony doors to lock which left me feeling very unsafe. You sleep in a well lit room because nothing turns the lights off outside that shine through the sheer curtains all night long. If I got half my money back I could at least maybe go 3 stars. Overall, in less you just want great views, I would not recommend.
