HURRICANE HILLARY

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a very nice stay here right on the beach. We were even able to watch the big waves & surfers during the storm! It was nice to have our grandkids be able to visit us at the beach too. Although the futon/couch isn’t the most comfortable, we enjoyed our stay & plan on returning.

Wonderful stay right on the sand!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay for a week in June '23. The location can not be better! Right on the sand and at a prime location for teens to surf int he morning. BBQ'd most nights. Well stocked kitchen had everything we needed to relax and not eat out. That said only a few minute walk from restaurants, bars and shops. Would highly recommend.

This rental needs attention. Would not recommend.

This property needs attention. Above and beyond not one piece of furniture or decor matched or had a consistent decor style the furniture was horribly uncomfortable. Outside chairs used for interior furniture. Couch and chairs horribly uncomfortable. Beds horrible. Linens and towels so old and horrible condition. The unit itself needs deep cleaning as well as a ton of deferred maintenance is required. Perfect exterior place but once again horrible patio furniture that is once again cheap and uncomfortable. Now while the unit boasts a garage. Beware. Nearly impossible to get any car parked inside. Beyond steep and very low ceiling. We parked on the street and got a ticket. . Drapes dirty, fans had 2 inches of dirt on them. Must use fans because the unit had no ac. The tops of the lamps disgusting. The unit as a hole just made us feel dirty!

Budget friendly for on the sand location.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: We spent 9 nights during Spring Break in this home with 2 Adults and 2 kids. The rental is a great size for a small family of four. A 5th person can also sleep on the futon bed located in the living room. For the low price point, this is a decent rental. The furniture needs to be upgraded and was uncomfortable. They are using outdoor wicker patio furniture and a futon bed for their living room seating. The mattress in the primary bedroom and the bed itself were poor quality and in poor condition. Our kids seemed to sleep well in the 2nd bedroom on the twin beds. Showers/bathrooms Water pressure was low. We could often hear the people in the upstairs unit moving around, flushing their toilets, using shower etc. The dryer broke at the beginning of our stay and couldn’t be fixed (Burr White maintenance team tried) so we were not able to use the laundry. Burr White said that the owner is going to replace. Photos are accurate. I think next time we will pay a little more for nicer, better quality unit. However, this location and price is very budget friendly. Kitchen was in good shape. However, unwashed dirty dishes were in the cabinets upon arrival. We had to run through washer.

Peaceful chaos

The house was great, but unforeseen issues hindered the peacefulness of the stay. You won’t be staying in luxury, but the location was picture prefect. Issues: The parking(Garage) was A nightmare. Most garages and level, but this one is a 45 degree angle slope down into a basement garage which goes down one floor before leveling out. the ceiling at the bottom was too low for my Toyota Sienna, so I had to park on the angle in the garage which was sketchy. The neighbors were having construction done Right outside the front door and master bedroom window which started early and lasted all day. The windows are very thin and every noise and conversation could be heard. The construction crew consistently parked in front of the garage and had to be asked to move when I wanted to leave. They also rinsed their buckets and tools off and dumped them over the small wall dividing the property right at the front door. It rained and the neighbors new gutters empty out over this properties walkway, needless to say it was impossible to get inside without getting soaked when it was raining. The patio furniture was nice to have, but was covered in black or brown widow spiders. I killed 7 on 2 chairs and decided not use the other chairs. I guess They want you to know the bedding is fresh, so when you arrive you have to make your own beds with the freshly cleaned sheets. The beds also felt very old, lumpy and uncomfortable. There was no cable tv as was advertised, but luckily Netflix and my other streaming services saved the day on rainy afternoons and during the evenings. There is a Blu-ray player if you still pack discs around. Positives: Location, location, location. Walking out the back door and being on the sand is fantastic. It is also right at the end of the beach walk, which means you don’t have all the foot traffic walking by your back door, but it is close enough (2 houses away) to hop on walk to the shops, restaurants, and pier. Groceries are couple blocks away. Sancho’s tacos, TK Burgers, Handels ice cream, chronic Taco and so many other good restaurants are within 10 minutes walking. I would stay here again knowing the construction is temporary and rain is not an everyday problem. The property management company also communicated well regarding maintenance they had scheduled on the property while we were staying there.

Nice but needs some attention

The location is great. We really enjoyed our stay. But all the mattresses were completely worn out and lumpy. The garage is so steep that my 2017 Q7 was acting up for the first time because of being parked so steep. Cookware was very minimal, and pans were all scratched up. Dryer does not vent well so takes forever to dry clothes. House seems to have long term neglect. Otherwise could be great. Property management was great.
