Wonderful Time!

Our family of 8 enjoyed the stay tremendously! The home was open and spacious, and very clean. We brought food and enjoyed cooking in the large, spacious kitchen. The washer and dryer were invaluable in keeping clothes clean after playing at the beach. The Master bed was extremely comfortable memory foam king bed. Both bathrooms were large, spacious and very nice. The full beds were great for kids, but could be small for extra adults. And best of all, the view from the porch is outstanding! Plan staying here again!

Pictures need to be updated. It looks nothing like the pictures.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was impressively close to the water, and we enjoyed just walking down to the water. That being said, The home is in poor condition. When we arrived the bottom sash on two windows were loose and laying in the open position. The entire floor has weak spots and the stickers in the carpet will wake you up in the morning. All the dishes had to be rewashed before use. Nobody would expect chef style cookware but whoever purchased these pans should be forced to cook on them. The owners need to spend a little time on this property.

Great family getaway!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our time at Happily Ever After. The location was absolutely perfect. The house could use a little attention to details in cleaning. The kitchen faucet did not work well, and only a trickle of water flowed out. They said a part would have to be ordered so we just dealt with that. Overall it was a great stay and the location and view were worth it! We would stay again!

Not Happily Ever After

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I rented the cabin for our family to celebrate my husbands birthday. I should have been warned when we walked into the cabin and there were 2 dead roaches in the kitchen and 4-5 roach baits on the floor. While we were unpacking things in the kitchen a roach ran across the counter. Then about an hour later we killed one crawling up the wall. Called the office but they were already closed. I emailed them. That night while my granddaughter was in bed on her phone she felt something on her had and flung it off. It was a roach!!! Needless to say we were uneasy sleeping that night. The next morning the office contacted me. The were apologetic and said something about the time of year as if that explained it. Also said they were on a quarterly contract with exterminator. She said we had two options: 1)she could call an exterminator to come spray, but we would have to remove all of our personal belongings until they had completed spraying the cabin and then we could return our belongings or 2) she could send over some roach spray. We certainly didn't want to spend time/energy packing everything back up and hauling it downstairs and then hauling it back upstairs later and unpacking again! My husband told me to tell her to bring Bengal spray because that would have the best results. We went out on the beach to enjoy the excellent weather and when we got back to the cabin they had left 3 cans of an off brand of roach spray. My husband sprayed and we went out to enjoy the rest of the day. That evening after it got dark we were in the living area playing games with our grandchildren when another roach crawled out from under the couch across the floor. and later a huge one was crawling on the refrigerator. There was also a small one in the shower. I was so frustrated and disgusted by this point! I could overlook one, maybe two, but this was ridiculous!! It ruined the weekend for me. Kitchen toaster was nasty and pans were horrible to cook in.

Weekend get away with family

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall experience was good. The weather was nice and spending time with family is always good. The cabin has a great view. It was Jeep weekend when I rented the cabin. The beach was packed. The only thing I didn't like was the crowd that set up on the beach in front of the cabin. If I rent this cabin again I will block the beach off in front of the cabin to avoid people jumping over the dunes to use the restroom and the loud music that I didn't understand. Memorial weekend is a better weekend to be at the beach.

Great!!

This place ended up being better than the photos, it’s almost directly on the beach, everything worked fine and there was plenty of room for all 12 of us! The kids had a great time. I would recommend bringing a larger baby gate for the stairs if you have younger kids that was the only issue the stairs are steep and we had to make sure the babies weren’t going to fall, not the hosts fault though!
