Great Location! No complaints here!

We would stay here again. It is a duplex turned into 4 rentals, but it was roomy enough for 6 people and 2 dogs. The A/C was ice cold and had a separate air conditioner for each bedroom and living space. The location is great - only about 20 feet from beach access and 0.6 mile walk to shopping and food. The host responded to texts quickly. The people we met were all so nice. This is a rental and city I want to visit again.

Great location!

Great location, right across from the beach! The house is a little outdated but worked for us. The only reason I gave 4 stars is the wooden creaky stairs. They are steep so carpet would've been easier for us and our little dog.... We made it work. No tv box in master bedroom. Living room tv volume is on tv, not remote... Overall a good stay!

Second floor, very little kitchen tools

This was a nice place and very fairly priced. However, we could have planned better if there was more info listed. For example, the entire unit is on the second floor. There is nothing listed to indicate that, and my father had a difficult time with the stairs. There is mold in the master bedroom closet, and the walls in the master bedroom. There is very little kitchen equipment; one mixing bowl, only a few plastic cups for drinkware, one measuring cup with no markings, maybe 5 or 6 spoons. The beach chairs and gear is great! A deck on the front of the house to see the ocean would have been really nice! Especially for my dad who choose not to leave the condo for the most part bc of difficulty getting up and down the stairs. Because of mobility issues I would probably not rent this place again, but if you choose to, I would suggest you bring some kitchen tools if you like to cook, bc you don’t have a lot to choose from here.

Review

Kitchen appliances very out dated. Washer leaked and was extremely loud. No trash bags, paper towels, bath mat and 2 rolls of toilet paper. Master bedroom looked to have mold on ceiling in closet. Sand on sheets on bed when we arrived. Location very good and recommend right near beach. Property manger very good.

Great location

Best location. Great neighborhood and easy quick walk to the beach. House was spacious but needs updating. The house was not well equipped. The kitchen hardly has anything. Washing machine was not good either. TVs were nice. Beds were comfy. Pets were welcome!

Disgusting.

When we arrived, there was maintenance crew working on the home so we could not enter originally, then we found out they were spraying the mold thats in the master bedroom closet. The maintenance crew was confused they thought we were coming the next day. The smell was absolutely disgusting and gave us a headache all weekend. The only thing decent about the play was the location, very close to the beach access point since it’s across the street. Location 8/10. House 1/10.

Great location

It was a nice house with a great location. Bring your own toiletries and beach chairs/toys. The house was clean, kitchen has most of the basics. I’d rent it again, knowing what to bring along with definitely helps. Awesome beach access!

dog beach heaven

THE GOOD We liked it very much – and would return again. Awesome view – best you can get if not directly on the beach. Local realtor management was excellent and very responsive. Reasonable pricing for the location. Dog friendly! And a nice yard to walk/play out back Sunny and great back deck, very private with wooded lot behind Listing pictures are recent and accurate THE MUST DO IMPROVEMENTS – we have pictures of everything listed here: You listed 4 beach chairs – there were none. We could have brought our own but had to go without. Broken blinds – in master bedroom and kitchen. Would not close and are falling off the window means no privacy! Master bed mattress is shot, every time you move it is very loud spring noise and uncomfortable Vertical blind in LR – Left side broken and would not close. Large stains in LR carpet – likely dog urine – our dog was very interested in the spots and we had to cover them up – suggest a deep steam cleaning Back screen door is broken and no handle on outside

Cleanliness in these trying times🙄

The pictures of the property are a bit deceiving. The place is worn. Things are broken like window shades, storm door handle, and holes in carpet, and some lights not working. Most of all, the place is disgustingly dirty. With the cleaning fees people have to pay, it should’ve been in better shape😡
