Nice house/Needs work
The house has a great setup. There are 3 bedrooms and a full kitchen on each floor. The pool is a good size, but needs to be resurfaced. Deck boards and stairs have loose spots and all the boards should be replaced.
Gas grill was not usable due to burners rusted out. There are 2 charcoal grills on the property and only 1 was usable due to the grates being rusted. These items were reported to the property management company (Beach Realty) through the app that was recommended. There was no response or repair.
The location was great for us. Public Beach access is only a couple of blocks away and it is an easy walk. There are no hotels or public parking around, so the beach in this area was never crowded. The house is walking distance to Jimmy's Seafood, Shipwrecks, and Bad Bean Baja Grill. Be careful crossing the road to Shipwrecks and Bad Bean. I never had a problem, I just needed to be patient.
Booking process was deceptive. After filling out the VRBO application and paying deposits, accidental damage insurance, linen fee, and travel insurance, Beach Realty sent a separate link and application. This application mirrored VRBO and asked about travel insurance. Beach Realty did not notify that their travel insurance was separate from VRBO, so I bought 2 policies. Beach Realty advised that VRBO does not relay travel insurance information to them. Even if this is true, they should have a notice on their application that this is separate from VRBO
