  We and my wife stayed here for a few days and it was amazing. Very clean and had all the amenities that we needed. The pool out back was a plus as well!

• Terrifying Start

  1/5

  This trip included myself and 3 additional female friends. We checked in early, per our property manager. On arrival, we settled in, unloaded our belongings, and got dressed to get into the pool. One of my friends went inside to get a drink, and found someone banging on the front door. She opened it to two men claiming to be the owner and son, who made their way inside the home, and said they didn't understand why we were there and wanted to know why we were there early. They stated the reason they went to the house was to place a lock. She came outside, got me, since I had made the reservation, and brought me inside with her, as she was very uncomfortable with the owner. I went inside with her, asked him why he was on the property, when we had opted for early check-in per the property manger, and also how we didn't want him there at this time. He stated “it's my house and I have the right to come in whenever I want” which made both of us extremely uncomfortable, considering it was 4 women staying there alone. He then said, “I'll just stay in the house, you won't even know I'm here” but later made his way outside by the pool and on the dock. I then asked him why he was there and he said he had to place a lock on one of the doors, and that a handy-man would be coming to do so, and that they would be gone by 4:00pm. My friend and I closed our belonging in the back bedrooms, closed the doors, and went outside. I contacted the property manager, who then said she would call the owner. After several minutes, she called me back and said “I had to apologize to the owner. He didn't know you were going to be there early.” To which I replied we were all very uncomfortable with how he acted and the whole situation, and she said “well sorry, the owner was really upset” and just made it seem like it was our fault for being there when the miscommunication was solely on the owner and property manager. She was dismissive of my concerns and said “well he just has to make a repair, it's not a big deal”. At which point I hung up the phone, since she didn't seem all that concerned with the dangerous situation we felt we were in, in a strange place, with random men just showing up, and making demands about how he's allowed to be there, no matter what. After that, we were all a little on edge through the whole trip, to the point that we moved furniture in front of the doors at night before bed. Aside from that, the home itself was good. Wish there was more review roo

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Marissa, we want all of our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we’re so sorry that you felt your safety was called into question. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following: We take full responsibility for the miscommunication between the owners and property manager, which led to your party being allowed a complimentary early check-in before our repairman arrived with us to replace a door hinge. While we disagree with your account of our verbal interaction, we did reference the rental agreement that gives owners access to the property with the guest's permission if there is a maintenance or safety issue. After our property manager confirmed our identities with you, our repairman spent 30 mins fixing the door. During that time, one of the owners went to the other unit on the property to inspect the dock but was not in your presence or near the pool. We left the property by 2 PM, two hours ahead of our standard 4 PM check-in time - we're glad to hear you were able to enjoy the home.

• Great location and view on patio and pool make the property worth the stay

  4/5

  Overall a great rental. The pool and back patio make this rental worth the money. The house itself lacks a little being older but for a vacation rental and not being there much it worked for us. The third bedroom was not very comfortable for sleeping due to temperature but worked out. There are also very strict rules that come with this house like trash removal times and thermostat adjustment settings, etc. The location was amazing and an easy walk to the beach and close to lots of restaurants etc. Me, my husband and two kids stayed here and it was fine for us. We would stay again.
