First time to Sandbridge

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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 recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Liked the shorter drive from Pgh(past 32 yrs. had gone to Cape Hatteras)and no large dunes to cross. House was older and in need of updating(mattresses were terrible, rust in different spots in bathrooms due to no exhaust fans, no food storage at all). Too many decor items...$ should be spent on improvements lists above

Great Location

Great location, steps away from beach access. Good space for family & dogs. Seems like an effort is being made to update the property but there’s a lot to be done. Overall clean, but bathrooms need updating.

Beach house

Great Location, not clean

The house is 'charming' or a bit on the old side but the location is great. There were a couple of issues that the rental company took car of quickly. Its a pet friendly rental and there were piles of fur under beds and sofa. Big, big piles!

Great Visit.

The property management company was very communicative and great. We reached out with 2 little issues and they we're on it within minutes. The house is nothing fancy but we didn't pay for fancy and we were thrilled to bring our dogs along this year. It could have been a little cleaner and a little less cluttered but it had everything we needed and the location was prime. It was obvious efforts were taken to spruce it up a bit and they were cute and appreciated. The beds are not King size as the listing stated. All and all our group had a great visit.

Disappointed

Property was dirty when we arrived. When brought up to the management company on day 1, it took 48 hours to get it cleaned. The cleaners remarked that it "looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a while." Just imagine sand and dog hair on the floor when you walk into the house at check-in after encountering a welcome mat that had matted dog hair all over it from different dogs. I hope the owner wasn't paying cleaning fees for each renter all this time. For this, we were given a refund of an amount a little higher than their internal cleaning fee. Website advertised 3 King beds in the house. The beds are queen beds, not King beds. This is the biggest and most alarming problem we had with this stay. We received no refund for this issue. Simply put, we would not have stayed at this property at all if it was advertised accurately. We gave the mgmt company 2 weeks to make this right and after going back and forth (they prefer a text string as communication), we were told there was nothing else that could be done. This is the worst customer service for a beach house issue I've ever experienced. Owner deserves to have a new mgmt company. We had to ask for the code for the bottom door where the beach equipment and washer/dryer were. Nobody seemed to know it initially and ultimately someone found out the code - annoying. We were given a partially used roll of toilet paper on check-in. Gross. All blankets not on beds smelled like mold and we washed them twice.

Surprising little view

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 wonderful time and appreciated being able to bring our dogs. The house is perfectly situated by the beach access very close. There was a surprising nice little view of the ocean from the screened porch- where we spent almost all of our time when we were not on the beach. Beds were comfy and kitchen fully stocked. Clean when we arrived. Plenty of linens and towels. Appreciated the extra fans. Only one issue was the laundry room and outdoor shower had so many large spiders. We still used them, but had to be careful and go in armed with the broom. Otherwise wonderful and would book again.

Beach Vacation Getaway!

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: This property is exactly what my family was looking for. We needed a pet friendly beach house that was close to the beach. This property is semi oceanfront and was clean and upkept. The property management company was very responsive and professional. We will definitely rent this property again next year!

Original Beach Cottage in Ideal Location

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: Fantastic R&R during perfect September weather! Great view, easily accessible beach right across street for our 85 YO mother, and we (esp she) loved the screened porch. Turns out she stayed at this same house 7 years ago with my brother and sister-in-law - they loved it then too! Dog enjoyed it too :)

Unclean, no Wifi and poorly maintained!!!

This property was so unclean that we had to clean all surfaces and bathrooms before unpacking. Piles of dog hair and peanuts were found in two of the bedrooms in the corners of the rooms and under the beds. The bathroom toilets needed to be cleaned before use. The screened in porch had no screen on the door and other areas of the screens were torn open. The carpets in one bathroom were so unclean we rolled them up and didn't use them. The door mat had small nails sticking up which could have cut someone barefooted so we removed that as well. We emailed about the Wifi and none of the four tech savvy adults were able to get the wifi to work. I would think VRBO would cancel this property for it did not meet minimal standards. I have a VRBO property and I would never allow such filth.

Great location, property needs work

The house was in a great location almost on the beach but the house is a bit run down. We had an electrical failure and the dishwasher died while we were there. The maintenance people were easy to contact and very quick to respond though. The house was not clean especially the dust everywhere.
