We stayed here two years ago and loved it, so we came back this year. For the most part we had a great week. The neighborhood is great and the private beach is close to the house and wonderful. We did have some issues with the house this time though. The front door wouldn't latch and there was a clogged sink, but both were fixed quickly. However we then had ants in a cabinet that ruined some of our food and were told they would spray after we checked out (this was Tuesday, so we bought our own spray). Then on Thursday the upstairs shower leaked through the ceiling to the bedroom below and maintenence refused to come out until we checked out. It was not ideal to be unable to use a shower for the last couple of days with 11 people in the house. I don't blame the owners--it seemed like the management company just didn't want to handle some of the issues and their communication worsened as the week progressed.

Has not been updated in many years. Hole in deck patched with thin board-safety hazard. Nail heads sticking up. Master bed is sunk in, front door won't open all the way due to floor uneven. Nasty bathtub, freezer, & ceiling fans. Kitchen sink backs up running dishwasher or garbage disposal. Must run bathroom sink hot water in order to take shower. To much to list other stuff.

AC great, location great. kitchen stuff okay, cleanliness - you need to get someone else to clean this house. Obviously they never mover the furniture to clean under. Same as last year. Lots of smokers and vapors at the pool every day.

Great Location, Plenty of Room, Needs Updates
Great Location, Plenty of Room, Needs Updates
Our stay was great for the week, we had 4 adults and 6 children 7 and under. The house had plenty of room for everyone, all the rooms were spacious and the bathrooms were huge. Kitchen had plenty of room for cooking as well. Only down side was the house was not very clean and you could see a lot of wear & tear, with some updates it would be awesome.

This property is like a Picasso. It looks amazing in pictures and when you turn down the street to see it for the first time. Then you get closer, walk in the door, and everything goes downhill from there. Where to begin. Let me start with the main front door entrance. Number one, it did not securely lock. It could simply be pushed open and the wind did push it open during a pop up thunderstorm. We had to move a loveseat in front of the door to keep it closed for the rest of the storm and overnight until maintenance came to hammer the rusted open bolts into locking position. Not a safe start as I had my parents and children with me. The door also leaked in multiple summers storms. Along with the upper French doors and the third floor windows. We spent quite a bit of time keeping water off the floors in front of all three while we were there. Not all outlets functioned in the kitchen. The refrigerator is falling apart and unable to be completely cleaned due to rust and other issues. Upon arrival the second floor master bathroom shower was not functional. The jack and jill bathroom on the second floor didn't even have a curtain liner that was long enough to keep the water in the shower, so more time spent cleaning up water out of the floor. The front porch and the back deck look like they need to be torn off the house and rebuilt, which is really sad. The second floor porch should be the star of the show at sunset, but it holds water, looks unsafe, and does not even have any outdoor seating up there. The second floor deck is locked off and can't even be accessed due to it appearing to be even more unsafe than the front porch. The screened in porch is virtually useless due to the doors not being plumb, therefore large gaps are always present for bugs to fly in. Overall, the house is large and more than capable of hosting a large family. However, the upkeep and cleanliness of this property left everything to be desired. Would not recommend and will not be back.

We enjoyed this property. It had everything we needed in a quiet neighborhood with great beach access. The teens loved the game room. The house does need some minor fix up and may be some updates on mattresses but I would definitely stay there again.
