Best location on the beach and loved having the plunge pool! It was a great house to celebrate my niece and her friends as they just graduated from high school. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
The beach view from this property was amazing from the bottom floor porch and the 2nd and 3rd story balconies. Took so many pictures of the sunrise and sunset. Beach was so easy to get to. Lots of room for the 5 of us plus more. It was easy to walk the dog in the neighborhood and to pick up a cup of coffee in the morning. Easy drive to grocery and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again!
The steps had the flooring missing. We had babies crawling up the steps. One of the beds on main floor was broke from the wall and mattress had a big hole in it. Also the main bed room on top level the bathroom door was separating. The garage door was broken and cut finger on it.
The location and amenities were great. The house was not super clean when we arrived but overall it was a great place. I loved the short drive to many restaurants, and how it was located right on the beach. I would definitely stay there again!
This was a great home with plenty of room right on the beach. It made for a fun and restful time with family. Lots of sun and swimming. The plunge pool was perfect for the kids. Hopefully, we will be back.
Check in was easy, maintenance was readily available, we had a breaker trip and the handle on the fridge needed tightening, so nothing major but they were very quick to respond and get the issue handled.
I was VERY pleased with this house, would definitely rent again
I was worried about booking this house because it was much cheaper then the rest so i assumed something was wrong with it,but that was the the case,it was VERY nice,great location would definitely book again.
Location was fabulous!! Restaurants and easy access to everything. My fault we did not read no additional paper products (toilet paper especially) so make sure you bring. Owner was very responsive and helpful!!1
We booked this stay based on the view, number of rooms and family space. Based on those expectations, this place deserves 5 stars. The view was amazing, we were right on the beach. The home itself was very accommodating. There were a few things we didn't like, but I will not let it take away from the 5 stars. The home was located across the street from a bar that likes to do outdoor karaoke and live bands. This was not a deal breaker, but it was loud. If you are a family with small children, you may not like the location of this particular house. We were looking forward to the Spa Tub on the deck. The description does say "Plunge Pool" but the picture gave the vibe it would be heated and jetted. Again, not a deal breaker but it was disappointing. However, the master bedroom did have a nice large jet tub. All in all, we would definitely come back here! Thank you to the host for having such a great space for our large family.
Nice home, right on the beach. Something’s are dated but everything works as it should. We had a wonderful time and the plunge pool was a life saver due to the double red flags all week! The bar across the road was pretty loud in the evenings with the live music but we managed! Overall I recommend this rental for large group that’s not wanting to spend an arm and a leg to be right on the water with a pool.

The management company for this property is excellent and very responsive, but this beach house needs major work inside and out and a deep cleaning.
Location was great, family enjoyed every minute. First time vacationing in September in 9 years, loved it , plan on going next September also. The house accommodated everyone very nicely, although some of the appliances need to be updated, the stove is probably be here since it was built in 2003. The cleaners do not do a great job the dust was at least 1inch think on bed room side lamps. Overall still a great vacation. John gover
This property was perfect for us. The size was great for what we needed. We had 11 people total. I appreciated the fact that they texted me the door code and let me know the place was ready before 4 as we had just got to town. The plunge pool on the deck was a nice feature, especially for the kids. I would highly recommend this place. I have two rules when I research beach spots, as we come every year, 1.) must be on the beach and #2 not next to high rise condos. This place fit the bill perfectly. We also had a bar across the street which we enjoyed for a night of Karaoke. All in all a wonderful family beach vacation!
Intergenerational family gathering 18 mo. to 80+. The walk and view of the beach was awesome for all!!! It was an early April week so we really wish the pool was heated. The kids would have used it a lot more. We had some cold and wind so we were grateful for the large table for games and meals. We also cook while we vacation and the kitchen needs some things replaced and augmented. There are not enough forks for the number of people the unit sleeps😳.
We really enjoyed our stay. We aren’t super picky so this place was amazing for us. I do feel like this property needs a little TLC compared to similar properties adjacent. The location, cleanliness, and management were great. I feel like they have listened to reviews. It does look like they are updating things as they need like the deck & oven. The garage was a plus & having bathrooms for each room was great.
Parking isn’t great for any property on the entire street - not just this property. Just make sure to plan if you have more than 3 cars. Overall we would stay here again & really enjoyed it!
We loved the location, being right on the beach, the gorgeous ocean view, and the spacious home. Our group was four couples and a two-year old. Each bedroom having their own bathroom was great. The music from the Alibi Beach Lounge bar across the street can be loud at night, but the music is good and ends by 11 pm. And the food is pretty good. We did have an issue with bugs living in the dishwasher door, but they were pretty much concentrated in that area. We would definitely consider coming back again. The deck was rebuilt. The splash pool is not heated, but was warmed by the sun and was not cold at all.
We were changed to a different unit due to maintenance issues. They told us a day before we left. We had 10 adults. These units are laid out very well for large groups. PM was helpful during this location change. Great beach! You are across the street from the Alibi bar. Music is loud at night. But we loved getting bloody Mary’s and bringing back to condo since it was 50 ft away.
The house is nice, but needs a lot of work. The back deck is in very bad shape and all the appliances should be replaced. The weather was cool and we were disappointed that the pool did not heat, but can see how it would be nice in warmer weather. There is a bar right across the street that was convenient for a quick lunch or dinner, but rather loud at night with a toddler in the house. The house is very big and the beach is beautiful, just needs some TLC.
Overall the house is lovely. The only complaints we have are the queen beds are very uncomfortable and noisy. Mainly the 3nd floor 2 queens they felt like all the springs in the mattress were gone it felt like sleeping “in a water bed” or deflating air mattress. You sunk into a hole. Also the only bathrooms are attached to the bedrooms if someone is staying in the downstairs room you will have to go to your room on 2nd or 3rd floor. Other than that the house was lovely very easy to get to the beach very short walk to the water off back deck. Home is in a great area lots of family’s and very close to any place you need to go. Great bar/restaurant across the street. Overall we would stay here again.

I am sorry to hear about your experience, but your description is not of Cotton Sails. At Cotton Sails, there is a king on the 3 rd. floor and all bedrooms are en-suite so no one has to walk outside their bedroom or through someone else's bedroom to go to the bathroom.

Our stay was in mid April and the weather was still a little cool. The instructions for check in were as described and went smoothly. The house was clean and all bedrooms were as described in VRBO booking. We did have to call for maintenance for 3 of the toilets. Maintenance called to schedule the repair. Once on site all 3 toilets were fixed within 20 min. The kitchen was fairly well provisioned except for wine or martini glasses . All in all we had a really good time and would rent Cotton Sails again.
