Our stay at Beach Escape was great!! Room for the 6 of us and great kitchen! The twin bedroom does need shades which I had seen on another review but ok with us! Very close to the beach!! Any easy walk!!
You always anticipate that the stay away from your home will have a big downside. That stay will cause you to begin to wish you hadn't ventured several states away. Well, this stay will alleviate all your fears of that!
Very homey feeling as soon as you open the door! Arranged very well and the beds were very comfortable!
The location was just right to enjoy the beach and the bay with a short walk either direction.
Put this stay on your Must Do List!
Good location but we had a few issues after paying quite a high tariff you would expect a flawless stay.
1. Two deck nails are extended above the front decking and are very dangerous.
2. There is a serious lack of cups available, the ones there do not match and some are chipped.
3. No wooden blinds to bedroom 2 - hard to sleep with being bright and also a lack of privacy when lights are on getting dressed.
4.No pillow protectors, for a rental property this is really unacceptable for hygiene reasons, and severely stained.
5. King bed was quite uncomfortable.
6. Fridge leaked.
7. Not throughly clean.
8. No light in the main bedroom.
The home was clean. Master bedroom very comfortable. The second bedroom needs shades. The kitchen requires upgraded utensils and glassware. There was not enough to cook. A cooler would be helpful to add to the beach chairs and umbrellas. The beach is one block away and absolutely gorgeous. The trolley is great so when you walk down the beach to eat and watch the sunset, nice to ride the bus back home.
