Nice place close to pool and beach. The only complaint I have is we had 8 people . Only 7 towels and rags. Need to give at least 2 per person we don’t want to spend time washing everyday. At least 2 for a week would be great.

The only issue was no internet or tv for 4 days. We called when we first got there. They did give us a discount due to this.

A beach house should not be like staying at the Hilton- so those bad reviews were from people who do not understand beach life! We had a great time. Walked the beach everyday, cooked a fantastic turkey dinner for Thanksgiving and dogs loved it too! Note to manager: the wine bottle opener was broke when we arrived - you probably did not know.

While this house was ok the pictures made it look much better than it was. This unit needs loads of updates starting with the mattresses which were terrible. The wallpaper is peeling, crack tiles throughout the house. The kitchen and living room are all upstairs directly above the Master bedroom and the floors all squeak. Almost all the furniture is in disrepair. You have to walk around several houses to get to the beach, you cannot even see the beach from this rental. The only upside is that you are close to some good restaurants. It needs a good deep cleaning.

Over labor day weekend, we arrived at Bluefish 16. The neighborhood was nice, code for the keys to the house worked great, but upon opening the door, things began to go downhill. We had a nice warm welcome as the heat was on, not the ac, to which we later found out the unit was broken and needed to be replaced. We were also greeted with ants all over the dresser upstairs and in the cabinets in the kitchen. Upon exploration of the back of the house/ lower patio, there was overflowing trashcans of garbage (not necessarily the home owners' fault, but still not very nice to manuever around.) After dropping off our stuff, we immediately wanted to head to see the ocean and the code listed for the gate was the former code. We called the listed number, left a voicemail, and NEVER got a call back. A local resident there had pity and gave us the current code.
A few other things to mention that need improved upon/ better explanation to renters:
-Only one rug for 1 shower in the entire house. NO other rugs for door entrances or the lower bathroom.
- Leaking air unit upstairs that leaks onto the main countertop.
-Broken windows
-Horrid pullout sleeper sofa!!
-Cracked bowls and broken drawers in kitchen.
-Only local channels after advertising to "watch the big game"
-Over-cooling/ freezing upper level of refrigerator.
I hate to be that person to complain, but we ended up leaving early because the air unit was broken and the stay was worse than camping down at the local state park.

Negative: The property did not look very clean. Pots & pans were rusted, Kitchen tools dull and broken. Kitchen chairs had ripped seating, broken furniture in LV. Bathroom toilet not flushing, Television not working in MB - called maintenance many times to correct issues. Only basic 4-8 cable channels. Almost non-existent wifi. Positive: The area was beautiful and in a great location, close to downtown, tourist attractions, and restaurants.

location of the property was great, easy access to beach, property a little old an outdated, could use upgrade to cable system for rainy days for kids.

Great property snd great location. All we needed. Would come back again.

The photographs and the description totally misrepresent this place. It does not have a clear view of the ocean. The beds are very uncomfortable. We weren't able to check in until after 430 as the cleaning crew didn't arrive until 10 minutes before. The couches are uncomfortable. And it's totally locked in with several other apartments facing it

Upon arrival we found that the downstairs sliding glass door was not able to be locked. Upon attempting to contact management about the issue, they were unreachable except via voice-mail and they did not call back until the following day. So then by the second day the door was able to be locked.
Early during the stay the dryer stopped heating. Upon contacting them they setup a repair for the LAST day of our visit which made us not be able to wash anything throughout. They did however let us swap out our dirty towels at least. This issue though led to our last night being restless trying to catch up laundry.
Many walls in the house were dirty and need to be cleaned or painted. There is also an ant problem that needs to be addressed.
The beach was nice and fairly quiet. Also the unit had lots of nice space and even extra blankets.

We had a great stay, enjoyed the location of the property. It was very comfortable, could use a smart TV, but it was ok, we just bought a roku.

Could have been better
Lets start with the good: location was great, check-in was easy, and got lots of information before we arrived. The condo is spacious and you can see a little bit of ocean from the balcony. However, the code we were given for the gate to access the beach was wrong. We tried calling the property management company and received their out of office because it was over a weekend. We only stayed here a few days and this meant we were not able to access the beach from the property while in town. Since the pool was closed in March this meant we didn't have much to do on property. Also, it was obvious the condo hadn't been stayed in for a while. Some decorative items were dusty and some of the furniture had seen better days. If some of the furniture was updated/fixed and you had the right code for the beach it would be a really nice place to stay.

location is great and house is spacious . Overall was a great experience but few things were not as expected.
There is no grill , there were not enough trash bags and TV's are just for decoration. In time of Covid it is unthinkable none of the tv's had a Roku or a way to connect to internet : people may want to stay home at night and watch a movie.
Also some newer and bigger tv's will be nice.
for the rest it was a nice stay and i would recommend to a friend or family.
