Overall a pretty good stay. Fairly clean. Dining table was great for cards and games. Yard was great for catch (except i stepped in dog poop). Location close to quiet beach. Loved that. Neighborhood quiet. Good for taking walks. Kitchen equipped with cooking needs. Icemaker was a bonus. Negatives/cons - Master bed mattress was HORRIBLE; sunk to middle of bed. Poop in yard. Host didnt return 3 requests to measure doorway to bathroom for my wheelchair bound wife. She was unable to get in bathroom. We had to take door off! Very disappointed. I told him how important it was to get those measurements but we made it work. Driveway holds 1 car not 2. Gas grill had 2 empty tanks so we couldn't grill out the burgers we bought. There's a lot of "LACK OF ATTENTION TO DETAIL" in this property in preparation for guests but we still enjoyed our time as our reunion of friends kept eachother positive and laughing.

Unfortunately, I would not recommend this house. The place was not clean. Our socks were black. The bottom of the kid's feet turned black. The kitchen counter tops were sticky. Communication - The host responded quickly prior to check-in. However, when I messaged the host explaining that the house wasn't very clean and that the kitchen sink water drained to the outside of the house to the backyard causing a smell and bringing Flys there was no reply. A couple days later I informed him that the garbage disposal stopped working and that there were cockroaches in the house. Also, no reply. After our stay, I received a message from the host thanking me for being respectful of the house and asking for a 5 star review and in return he would reciprocate a 5 star review for me. In good conscience, I cannot do that. Towels - There were enough for 6 people, but the house sleeps 7, so my youngest kids shared the thin poor quality towels. Kitchen supplies - The pots and pans are bent and warped. Thankfully, we brought our own pots and pans. If we hadn't, we would not have been able to cook anything in this house. There were towels to dry the dishes but nothing to wash the dishes with so again thankfully we brought our own. Master bedroom - horrible bed. It's no longer a dip in the middle as previously reviewed. It's now a "V". There are no sheets for the futon bed. On the plus side, the house is a block and a half walking distance to the beach.

Fly infestation & Surveillance cameras. That’s what we remember from our stay. It’s unfortunate that some vacation rental owners are so eager to collect as much money from bookings, they’re not the least bit concerned about each renters experience. Our experience was greatly affected by the fact that the garbage was not taken to the curb. The can as well as the recycling was FULL!! When we arrived we inspected the place, sure it’s as described, but upon opening the back door to check out the backyard, the flys swarmed in. We went around the side only to be immediately greeted by the stench and FLYS Circling both cans that were only about 10 feet from the back door. We moved the cans to the front only to realize the excessive brush and branches were also a breeding ground for rodents. Needless to say we were fighting off & swatting flys all weekend. We contacted Richard only to be told the situation Would be remedied in time “for the next guest” The Next Guest ⁉️ We also contacted VRBO however flying in, having booked excursions, 4th of July weekend!! We really could not focus on the situation until after we invested about $50 of insect spray & left. Just the memory of removing Flys off our food, drinks, washing sippy cups because when I say SWARMED The house I mean SWARMED!! To top it all off. The locked closet that would be assumed is a linen closet next to the bathroom. Is LOCKED certainly because the little snake cam that’s spying under the door is disturbing.

We had a great time! The property was as described. On a quiet street. Very clean and enough space for the 5 of us. The private fenced in yard was a nice space for cook outs and relaxing. The beach access was a short walk and never crowded. We were close enough to enjoy several of the local attractions, the Botanical Gardens, the Chrysler art museum, the Aquarium and boat tours. The kids enjoyed checking out the disc golf courses, local coffee shops and boutique shops. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a fun family trip!

This home and location were perfect! We came up from NC to send off our Navy man before he leaves us for 4 years! The home layout and backyard were just what we needed to fellowship and move all around the property! The home even came equipped with a game area so it made interacting while inside easy. It was clean and well furnished. We'll be back!
