WOULD NOT RECCOMMEND THIS RENTAL COMPANY
I would not recommend this vacation rental company. While the house itself was clean, there were many other issues. I also spent most of our vacation in communication with the rental company. To start, the previous guests trash was left out in the garage. It was starting to smell the first day we arrived, and I messaged the rental company to remove it. They said they would have someone come collect it. By the end of our stay, the garbage was still in the garage, and the whole house smelled of trash. We were also uniformed about how the pool was heated. The pool is only heated late morning-early afternoon, which never allows it to warm up. The pool was never above 75 degrees for our entire stay. The hot tub was also only 75 degrees, and was never heated warmer, as you would assume a hot tub would be warmer than the pool water. We contacted them about this, and the maintenance person told us the heater was broken. They never came back to fix it, even though we were told it was fixed, which was clearly untrue. We have not received any money back, and have not received money back for the pool not being heated, when that was an extra fee. Although we called and texted throughout our stay, our needs were not met, and changes were not made to help our experience. I would not recommend booking through this rental company again.

Pool not as advertised.
We booked this house due to heated pool. The pool is not heated unless you pay extra. I would have gladly paid extra if i had known this beforehand. The rental company told us there would be another fee to turn the heat and spa on after check in and it wouldnt be warm by the time we left. That needs to be clear in the listing. We chose this house specifically because of the "heated pool" as I had 2 eleven year old boys to entertain. Also the garbage in the garage was over flowing and stunk terrible. We had no where to go with our trash. The handles and door jams need a good cleaning. There is grime built up and pretty gross. The beds and linens were clean and comfy. The house is plenty big and lot's of space. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies. Plenty of towels. Seems like the homeowners are great but their rental and cleaning company is less than desired.

Enjoyed Our Stay March 2024
We enjoyed our recent stay in this 4-bedroom house. The pool was nice and clean. The kitchen was well equipped with modern appliances; however, the stove top pans need replaced. The location was great with beaches, restaurants, and recreational facilities nearby. We left a raincoat behind and the management contacted us later in the day to make arrangements to send it back to us. We definitely would stay here again.
