Amazing vacation home

Our family had one of the best vacations ever at this home. There was plenty of space, a bunch of games and the pool was great. Location was super close to the beach and walking distance to shopping and restaurants.

Nice property

It's a nice property and a short walk to a beautiful beach. The pool is a little smaller than it looks in the photos but still worth dipping in to cool off. The game room with ping pong and foosball was a lot of fun. Mosquitos were kind of bad even though the back is screened in but we used some bug repellant. Check in and out was super easy. Overall very happy with the rental.

Relaxing Beachy Vibes

We had a fantastic time and loved the house. The house is very comfortable and beautifully decorated. It has a wonderful relaxing beach vibe to it. It was much closer to the beach than we thought so that was really convenient. It’s such a beautiful beach and not crowded. The only negatives is that the shower faucet in the bedroom off the dinning room needs to be fixed or a new mixer installed. The water was lukewarm and my son and his partner couldn’t use the shower. The property manager sent someone to try fix it but they said nothing could be done. The kitchen cabinets and drawers are not clean and are very messy. It was hard to find things. Some items are really old and worn and clearly need to be thrown away and the coffee machine is stained and in bad condition. So we didn’t use it.

Great location!

This property is a great location! Short walk to the beach on a quiet road and close to restaurants and an ice cream shop. The home was clean and very comfortable.

Aquarius

The house surpassed our expectations. It was clean and well furnished. We loved the layout. It gave each couple a space of their own. It was within a comfortable walk to several restaurants, stores and the beach. There was also a trolley stop at the end of the street. We would definitely consider booking this house again.

Sometimes less can be more

Pros: Property is as described. Very convenient to the beach which is right down the street. Property management company was top notch and answered many of my questions within a few hours-minutes. An extra fridge in the game room. Cons: The home is starting to show its age, worn patio cushions. Only two beach chairs. Way too many items in the kitchen cupboards. We had no space to keep our pantry items so we had to clear off the kitchen counters which were over accessorized. Internet speed was spotty. It was a last minute reservation and it met our needs, so overall I would consider an okay rental.

Check in and out process was so easy. Instructions on expectations before departure was clear. The house was beautiful and conveniently located very close to the beach. Furniture were very comfortable and easy to use. Sufficient utensils for our daily cooking and eating. Overall a great experience.

Great location close to beach.

The house was as pictured. Super nice and perfect for my family. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because the pool said heated, but we felt it wasn't. I called they sent maintenance man quickly which was nice. After calling back again to see how much it would cost to turn heat up on pool nobody called back. Honestly this is my only complaint.

Beautifully redone home

The house was big enough to allow for time together and also multiple different activities. We used the pool and game room and each of the patios. Walk to the beach was simple and close.
