Horrible property. Do not stay here. Save your money.
This home is old, dirty and unsafe. The entire residence is shabby at best and it feels very unsafe. We booked two night and left after five minutes. My girls and I did not feel safe there. Do not waste your money on this horrendous rental.

Could not access
There was no access provided to the property. Attempts to gain access from the property management company were not fulfilled timely. Keys/lockbox were empty. Property pictures were not accurate, notably in the back area. Furniture was very worn and dirty, the overhead gazebo structure was broken. We are due a full refund for not being able to stay and needing to book another property for the night. VRBO and the property manager are being very difficult.

cute and convenient
We recently stayed at the cottage for a wedding. We had our adult children and another guest. The house was a comfortable size and the location was perfect. We could go for walks to the beach, walk into town and on Sunday there was a local farmers market that we walked to! The beds are comfy and for the most part the house was clean. As stated in other reviews, you may want to bring slippers or flip flops as the floors are old and leave your feet a bit dirty. When we arrived the mirror in the half bath was missing and the shower curtain liner was a bit mildewed. The management got there within a couple hours to replace both. There is no air but plenty of fans and with windows open at night there was a decent cross breeze. The neighborhood was quiet so that was not an issue. We did have some dampness, being there during the hurricane, but once the sun came out the house dried right out. Just a note, after reading other reviews we did bring extra face clothes (two are provided) and large shampoo. All in all it was a good experience.

Pleasant stay but could have been better
We had an overall good experience and stay at this property. The location is nice for walking downtown and to the beach. The things you should be aware of: -House gets very warm and windows are challenging to open and some windows didn’t have screens. -BARE essentials were provided. Literally two rolls of toilet paper, and three miniature bars of soap. Be prepared to make a run to Pavilions. -The one hand towel provided in the entire home was a bath mat. No washcloths and only five bath towels. No beach towels. -It was nice to have a washer dryer, but be prepared to purchase detergent. -Twin beds and the bed frames they are on are extremely squeaky. -The backyard wasn’t the oasis we expected. It was overgrown and run down. We wouldn’t stay here again.

Old and Drab
This place has so much potential. The location was good close to the beach and town but on a quieter street but was such a disappointment. I chose this because of the wonderful pictures of the backyard- It was nothing like the pictures. It was dirty and unwelcoming. There was a ripped cover over the seating and the grill didnt work- We ended up pulling lawn chairs int he front lawn to read. Inside was dark and drab and needs a good can of paint. The bathroom was dirty with mold in the shower. I called property management several times on multiple issues which is not local and they were very nice but nobody ever followed through. I asked for someone to clean the shower- they said they would and never showed and that was the same for every issue, I am not a high maintenance person and dont have very high expectations, but this was not what I expected for the amount of money they charged. They gave you one little (travel size soap for the week and 2 rolls of toilet paper) beach chairs dirty and ripped. Ive really never experienced a rental with such lack of thought.

My husband and I would happily rent this property again. Everything is as described, except for some of the upgraded furniture including a large sectional couch in the living room and a large cabana tent over the patio space. Walking distance to everything we needed but the neighborhood is friendly and quiet.

Nice place for family vacation
Overall we enjoyed our stay at this cute little beach house. The beds were very comfortable and there is plenty of room for our family of 4. We thought we would like this location close to a less crowded beach, Windansea, but the waves were on the bigger side and we actually preferred La Jolla Cove for our little ones. We did bring bikes and biked to Windansea but this area doesn’t seem to bike friendly so we probably would skip that next time. We were rarely home so the comfy beds and televisions were really all we needed and they were great. Only ding for this house was cleanliness. During covid times, this was a main concern of ours and immediately we noticed an unwashed blanket, dirty table runner, and some food wrappers in one of the rooms.. I really hope everything else was clean. We mentioned this to the property management team and they offered to help but we just chose not to use these items. But they were responsive and overall, a nice place to stay.

Great location
Great location. Quick short walk to the beach. Nice backyard patio to hang out. Always able to find street parking. Walkable to many restaurants and stores. We thought we were only given 2 towels for the house. We didn’t realize the closet next to the full bathroom had towels, it seemed locked because the door handle doesn’t turn but you just have to pull on it. Plenty of fans to keep the house cool. The house could use a deep clean (the shower curtain had built up mildew) and there were a couple items that needed fixing (a chair and the chandelier). Traveling with a dog and toddler it was totally fine. The casualness and beachy feel of the house made it comfortable. It was nice having the 1/2 bath in addition to the full bath. Communication was good. I would stay here again.

Nice property. The house took some time to open it out, 30 windows. I would have liked that to had been done an hour before arriving. Things to bring, extra bath towels, shampoo, conditioner, hand soap and they give you a baby dish soap. Everything else I loved, we had a great time in our cute house!
