This listing was a true disappointment. The only thing this property is good for is space and location but even that doesn’t make up for the lack of effort the owners put into ensuring guest enjoy their stay. We entered a house as a full family yet we were meet with one roll of toilet paper per each bathroom, no trash bags, no napkins, little soap, 2 small packets detergent, and blood/red stained sheets in the kids bunk bed room. Mind you, the owners “require” guests to wash the beach prior to check out, take out trash, and basically do most of the things their cleaners are supposed to be doing. This raises the questions if the home was ever properly clean and do the owners even value the guest. Don’t expect guest check in or check out accommodations no matter how far in advance you request. We wouldn’t stay here again.

52 Terra Cotta Way is in a perfect spot. The swimming pool and Enclave parking lot are right across the street. Members of our group walked less than a block to Sandos for breakfast drinks and happy hour. The beach was fantastic and less than a three-minute walk. The two beach wagons made transporting chairs and other items easy. Ten adults and four grandkids had plenty of room because every room is spacious. The labeling of the contents of every drawer and cabinet in the kitchen was so helpful, and the kitchen had everything that we needed. The second floor patio was well-used, especially at night. We followed the guideline of not setting the air-conditioner below 70 degrees. It usually ran at 75 degrees and that was plenty cool. The surrounding area was very quiet at night. Check-in was smooth as silk and the host responded immediately. Our group will come back as soon as it fits our schedule. My wife and I couldn't have chosen a more perfect spot to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with our Texas and Nebraska family.

About the host

Hosted by Cecilia Byndloss

Host profile image
Our family has always vacationed with eight or more persons. We had multiple age groups, family or friends around. Being on the BEACH is our joy! Our most memorable vacations is when everyone can do their own thing, a location where there is a lot to do as well as being able to relax in a home environment where we could cook or order in. Just getting away from our home/work and decompressing. We have tried to create a retreat with this in mind. Family and friends getting together enjoying conversations, exercise, lounging on beach or by the pool, talking in the morning over bagels and coffee, and enjoying you evening eating with friends to finally retire to your own bedroom retreat to read or relax. We invite you in.
