Tradition

Wonderful neighborhood, house is better than the pictures and the beds were great. Will be returning to this house next year. House provided a wagon and chairs for the beach, which was a very quick walk down the street, Plenty of room for the family to sprawl out and relax. View from the deck in the evenings was beautiful.

July stay 2025

The property was great for our family. great space and well appointed. The house and realty team did a great job with easy reservation and checkin and out. The kitchen is well stocked. Suggestion that owner has a landscape person to clean up the pool area, it was very weedy. we also had to buy ant traps for out at the pool area as the pool deck has many biting ants and ant hills. The refrigerator took a long time to get to temp and the hot burner light in the stove is always on.
pool area.  an easy up created lots of shade
Beach crabs are very fun
a double rainbow if you look close
A young family of deer visited daily

Property unacceptable. Black mold in multiple rooms. It was even coming out of base of ceiling fan in living room, vents, walls, shower curtains. Kitchen poorly equipped. Cabinets peeling. We used 5 beds. Mattresses so bad, two guests slept on sofa. One blanket for entire house.

Hi Yvoone. We did get your report about mold 3 days into your stay, which only reported it being above a fan. We sent someone immediately to clean it up. It wasn't mold it was black marks left by something we think a guest threw at the fan. We did get a report from you about mold in other areas of the property 5 days after you checked out. We sent people there and couldn't find any evidence of mold present. That report also contain the other items you're citing. We have double checked to make sure the kitchen has what is advertised and what it should. I'm not sure what you mean by there being one blanket. In addition to bedding provided on each bed, additional blankets isn't normally something provided. We've had two guest since you so far, and may before you that seem to be happy with what was advertised and what was provided.

Overall the rental house is as described. It is comfortable and well appointed. The management company responded to two issues promptly. There were two unresolved issues worth noting: the hot tub had been over treated and the pool company advised us not to use it. The management company made no accommodations for this. Second, the door code deactivated at midnight on July 11 instead of at 10am on July 12 (check out day/time). This was reported but no one has bothered to reapply. Had there not been someone inside the house, we would have been locked out all night. The lack of even a reply is disappointing.

Lisa, Thank you for your 4-Star review and your comments. We apologize that no one responded to your call at midnight regarding the door code and the property's pool vendor advised not to use the hot tub. This should have been a temporary condition that lasted only a few hours (per the pool company). Overall it seems you had a good stay and we hope you realize these two issues are rare (if not unheard of) issues. We hope you give us another try soon.

Fantastic place for our family and friends to relax!

The house was great. We had enough beds and bathrooms for everyone. The house was very clean. We had an issue with the pool jets one day and I sent a text. It was fixed within an hour. The wrap around top deck was nice to sit on. You can see the sound. The walk to the beach wasn't bad. We had a 5 and 7 year old with us. Nice outside shower with hot and cold water to rinse off before getting into the pool or hot tub. Overall, we had 9 adults and 5 kids with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. We would definately stay here again.
