1.0 / 5.0
Do not recommend. House has mold, second story rail was missing 3foot section. Cleaning people did not finish until 4:45, check in time was 4:00.
Floors were filthy. House is in desperate need of deep cleaning. Elevator did not work, not a single outlet in the kitchen worked. So many issues with this rental.
Tried contacting host, not a single response.
Do not waste your money. Pictures of house are very clearly very old. No blinds in master bath, house is being constructed right next door.

Getting away with family was beautiful, but the rail on the deck was broken and poor quality which limited our time on the deck. We had major issues with the oven warming up properly and all the burners were not operative. The breaker was tripped because most of the electrical outlets were not working which posed to be a major inconvenience. The cooler on the refrigerator which caused the ice cream to be really soft. The screen door was in need of repair when we arrived. Please consider putting some pillows on the lounging chairs on the deck for comfort.

Overall we enjoyed the stay. The home is beautiful but needs some tlc (paint, dusting, bugs, screens , fencing, pool cleaned, grass mowed, hair removal from drains). When we arrived at 5 pm the cleaning crew was still inside and opened the door and stated “we are late give me 5 min”. She closed the door and left us outside although check in time is 4pm. The owner was very responsive when I texted him and he replied he would talk to the cleaning crew. It took longer than 5 min for her to leave the house and the job still did not appear to be complete. Bathroom counters were soaking wet. We had 8 people staying in all the rooms and had the impression that the kitchen would be stocked and a fridge was on both levels but the fridge was missing from the small kitchenette. I had spoken with the owner before booking to confirm because we were planning a big breakfast for everyone. We woke up early Saturday to prepared breakfast luckily when we used the oven it would not preheat past 245. With biscuits and bacon and sausage to cook we were unable to use the oven. We used every setting possible but it never warmed up. I touched the heating element and it was cold. I contacted the owner and he apologized and offered to send someone out but checkout was nearing. Everyone wasn’t aware of the issues we were having behind the scenes so they really enjoyed that stay. On the other hand, I did not feel that the price we paid 1 day was reflective of the service and inconvenience we received.

Horrible!
5.0 / 5.0
This house has great views of the bay, and it's very big. It comfortably held my family and my sister's family. It was clean and easy to check in and out. We enjoyed walks along the water and to Shell Beach. It does need some curtains in the master bathroom, because the huge glass windows look out into the neighbors' yards and they can see right into the bathroom. There are a few items that need fixing, like rusting vents and a large hole near one of the backdoors.

3.0 / 5.0
Beautiful home with beautiful bay views throughout. My bed was comfortable.
The floors had not been cleaned.
No baking sheet or pan.
No dish detergent, dish rags/towels, scrub brush or hot pad in the kitchen.
No large pots- only 2 small ones.
Scarce toilet paper.
No laundry detergent- and both W and D full upon arrival.
Half of the digital screen on dishwasher is out so you guess on how to operate it.
Kitchen light is still full of dead bugs- windows are full of cobwebs- and we killed 3 roaches in the 3rd level kitchen.
No handsoap in 3 bathrooms. No bath soap.
Missing pillowcase on bed pillow.
Couch is repaired with unfinished 2x4 lumber.
There are no window coverings on the huge master bath plate glass windows.
We brought groceries and had planned all meals in house -two required the grill. Halfway through grilling ribeyes, the whole bottom fell out of the grill making it impossible to properly finish $150 worth of prime steak!
If maintenance and housekeeping were done adequately, it would have been a great stay! But instead, I was unable to do what I was there to do because I stayed on the phone trying to get the items that were advertised to be there but weren’t!
Had the management offered to refund the $175 cleaning fee, this review wouldn’t even be here.
And even after all that, I left the house cleaner than I found it.

Loved this house so much! It's in such a cute and quiet neighborhood and has an amazing view of the bay! We really enjoyed having meals on the top level patio and looking out over the water.
3.0 / 5.0
The property is not being cleaned property. There were several dead bugs in the kitchen light. We encountered several roaches. There was a dirty jar filled with cigarette butts on the patio table. That table was also filthy. Two of the couches were broken. The property is in a good location, but the maintenance is awful.
3.0 / 5.0
Nice size for a large group but needs some maintenance, i.e., balcony railing wobbly and sofa had broken foot. No curtains in master bath. Amenities are limited, no hand soap, shampoo or a blanket. Loft is hot while lower levels chilly. Elevator was not accessible, and there are about 45 stairs. The air outside sometimes smells industrial. On the plus side, lots of dishes, lots of space to spread out, good location.
