Needs lots of love and scrubbing
Very disappointed with this rental. I booked it somewhat last minute for family to come into town and be together for my dads memorial. Good things were there was plenty of space for all of us with large decks, outdoor hot/cold shower, and could walk to the beach. Negatives: - Limited kitchen utensils and supplies - Carpet is absolutely disgusting. Needs to be replaced or at least deep cleaned. Stains were terrible. We made a game of guessing what all the stains were from. Ewwwww!!! - Bed sheets were not clean when we got there even though it was clear maid service had come because it smelled like cleaning chemicals everywhere. Found multiple stains on the bed sheets of multiple beds that were made and had to wash them ourselves - Entire house is grimy not kept up well and needs a really good scrub and makeover - Furniture is super cheap. The beds were just bed frames not actual furniture and they didn’t even bother to hide it with bed skirts or any type of head board. One of the outdoor flimsy plastic Adirondack chairs collapsed under one of my family members who is NOT a big person. I wrote an email to tell the rental agency and still haven’t gotten a response. - Two storage units are full of broken furniture, beach chairs, and random mildewed things that just need to be thrown away. It was very clear this rental is not owned by a family who uses it for themselves; just a company trying to put as little in as possible and get as much money as possible. I won’t stay here again or rent with this company again. Suggest you keep looking as well…

Good Location, Cleanling Needed
We stayed for 4 days for a long weekend. Unfortunatly the cleanliness left much to be desired. It needs a good paint job and new carpet desperatly. The location was nice with a walkway to the beach. Little to no pans/pyrex to cook. We bought a pyrex dish and left it in the home for future renters to have something. Overpriced for the quality. The property manager however was wonderful , helpful and easy to communicate with.

Okay
The place had a nice layout and had easy access to the beach. The top floor was the nicest. The bottom floor needs new carpet and could use a fresh paint job. The furniture and kitchen supplies were sparse. It was okay, but I would have expected it to be a little nicer for the price we paid.

Pictures are deceiving
This was probably the worst rental I’ve ever had on VRBO. Very poorly stocked, no blinds in the bathroom- and the window overlooks a busy parking lot and 2 other rental units, had to rewash all the dishes before using. Very overpriced unit. The mattresses were horrible- I didn’t even know you could get a mattress that cheaply made. We won’t be back.
