Read this before you book!!!

I have used VRBO to book our MANY family vacations for over 6 years now. I have never had a bad experience, nor gave a bad review until now. This property is managed by Vacasa. Upon arrival, the first thing we noticed is how close you are to the water. This little island is beautiful and we were so excited! As we carried our luggage up the stairs we were greeted by 2 large Palmetto Cockroaches. Because the were outside we initially brushed it off. Entering the property it was okay, furniture in the living room needs a MAJOR upgrade as does the Mattress in both of the rooms that lead out onto the deck. Kitchen is minimally stocked. The home had a weird musty smell. At the time I felt the location and views made up for it.... until we started seeing german cockroaches- In all areas of the home. As we inspected further we noticed mold, possibly black mold, coming out of the vents in the bedroom. Water damage was noted on the return air vent right near the washer/dryer area. The washer had mold as well and needs to be DEEP cleaned asap! Our internet was out several times we were there. Most of the lights(lamps) and TVs were unplugged when we arrived which was odd. The bed frame is one room is broken- we ended up sleeping on an air mattress. The stairs leading to the beach are seriously scary. They need repair asap. The are not propertly installed and are on the verge of failure. This place needs some major TLC. We packed up with our infant 2 days after arriving.

Great stay on the beach

It was a wonderful stay. The cushioned chairs on the deck and powered leather recliners in the house were so comfortable. The view was awesome, seeing dolphins right off the shore and watching the pelicans dive for fish.

Toaster and can opener

Awesome in every way, but please invest in toaster that works and a basic can opener. Loved everything else!

Beautiful, excellent location and slightly lacking

This house is perfectly placed right on the beach, which makes it ideal with younger children! The issues we had with the house I believe comes down to management. The bunk room beds had not been washed before we got there and the comforters and sheets where covered with sand so we had to wash the sheets. There are no solid curtains only sheers on either of the master bedrooms that lead out the the main deck so if you are traveling with friends or family you have no privacy ( which is kinda a big deal on vacation), so these really do need to replaced with an adequate curtains to provide necessary privacy. There was no working tv or streaming due to a fully rusted out dish that was held to the house with a rope, this was addressed with management and someone came out our last day to switch the house to a different service and we were credited for this inconvenience. The exterior shower was also rusted out and was only a hose so we had management send someone out to fix that as well, which they did. As far as interior the house is beautiful. There are some things you should know before getting to the island if you are using the house for 10-12 people. You will want to bring toilet paper, trash bags, and paper towels. There were two small rolls in each bathroom but since stores are not easily accessible your better off purchasing ahead of time and make sure to bring laundry detergent and dish soap. Also grab ice because the ice maker doesn’t work well and makes very little ice. There are not enough glasses, mugs and bowls to accommodate 10+ guests so bring some paper goods. The coffee pot also leaks and is missing the filter inside so you may want to bring your own. I say all of that to give the next guest a heads up on how to prepare not to deter from renting because like I said the house is beautiful and the location is perfect. I just think that the management company could stand to do regular walk through of there properties to make sure they are appropriately stocked for the quantity of guests they advertise for and to handle the minute details like coffee pots, dishes and general maintenance due to rust from salt water so the guests are not have to contact management while on vacation

Perfect place to slow down and be on beach time

We had 5 adults and 7 kids (ages 7-17) stay here with plenty of room to spare! The house was nice and the beach even better! I will say this house is right by the entry for a public beach opening so it can get a little crowded, but it didn’t bother us much, more people to watch! Lol! We cooked every meal at the house, which was nice, the kitchen does need some items added (it sleeps 12 but only has 9 plates) things like that, but nothing we couldn’t figure something else out and made it work! We all had an amazing time and made great memories and most importantly the kids were all outside each and every day (no electronics allowed!) and they had a great time exploring and learning and playing! I wouldn’t hesitate AT ALL to stay here again!
