Our family did have a fun time and we did realize the property was small. We had chosen this property because our family was small plus the reviews when we were first looking were very good. As it was getting closer though the reviews were poor. This did make us concerned and did not get answers when we inquired. Just that there had been other renters since and no complaints.
Once we got to the property there was an old golf cart and old beach items that were all over. The golf cart stayed and was broken.
Once inside though the little house was very cute and clean, except for a very old and moldy shower curtain. My daughter ordered a new one and it came the next day. We had read about the mattresses being stained, but chose not to look as everything else was fresh. It was not till we were preparing to leave on our last day and as required we pulled the linens and yes to our dismay the mattresses were stained and was so disappointing. I did let the guest contact know this info also . The property is for sale and hopefully this and other reviews will help to fix some of the problems as the property is cute .
Thank you!

We had three people staying here two nights and this property totally met our needs. The property listing was exactly as described. Nicely furnished, comfortable beds. The proximity to the beach is awesome. Good value, checkout steps were reasonable, and overall a very good stay.

Arrived to see trash overflowing and animals had got into it and trash was all over the yard. My husband cleaned it up because we were there for a week and it was truly disgusting walking through an unmowed yard filled with trash. Frustrating to spend hundreds on a cleaning fee when it clearly wasn’t, and we had to do a lot of cleaning ourselves upon arrival. Inside was nice enough but there was not any dishwasher detergent, dish soap (luckily we brought our own thanks to a previous review) and looked as though the previous renters put their dirty dishes back in the cabinet without at least handwashing, no toilet paper, and a cockroach under the couch. Location to the beach was great but had I seen the current reviews before I booked several months ago, I would not have booked this rental.

I have a family of 5 and this was our first time ever staying in a rental home. We were so excited, but to pull up to the grass being as tall as my 3 year old, the trash overflowing onto the ground and covered with flies plus tons of broken items( golf cart, kick boards, fishing poles) was not a warm welcome after a 6hr long drive. The inside wasn’t too bad. It was clean for the most part and we were comfortable. The place would be amazing if it had some TLC. It just needs maintenance, like making sure the locks work. Now the distance from the beach is unbelievable! The 5 min walk was great and easy, even with very young kids. We loved the beach experience, but I would recommend SOAKING your body with bug spray. The mosquitoes were ridiculous!! We were fine at the beach but during the walk back, I guess after the water washed the bug spray off, was war. Overall, that house would be perfect if the owner cared about it. Hopefully, once it’s sold, the new owner will see the potential.

Hi Jennifer, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We genuinely appreciate your feedback, and the homeowner would like to share the following:
-Unfortunately, our lawn care provider was unable to mow the grass due to a hospitalization during your stay. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
-Additionally, we have recently hired a trash service as we noticed some guests were not following the checkout instructions regarding trash disposal. This change should ensure a more seamless experience for our guests moving forward.
We're happy to hear that your overall experience during your stay was enjoyable. We do all we can to ensure the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.
