We had a blast! Great separation from bedrooms to living rooms for young kids bedtimes and just a fun, not-run-of-the-mill, cool place.

Many dirty dishes upon our arrival. Kitchen was disheveled, dirty, and overcrowded providing no room for guest food in pantry. Rust was present everywhere, both inside and outside. Several rooms had ceiling water stains and the bathrooms had mold present. I would not say the property was distressed, but it really needs much maintenance and repairs before it should be rented out. We looked into staying somewhere else upon our arrival, but nothing similar was available, so we were stuck. This is by far the worst rental home we've stayed in during our ten years of using VRBO. The home is very close to the beach, has very nice decks and balconies and a nice little backyard, so it has great potential, however it needs much work to be an acceptable accommodation.

Location of property was great! Super close to the beach and walkable distance from majority of bars and restaurants. The provided beach items and extra amenities were extremely helpful with our stay. We really enjoyed the large amount of space to hang out and get some rest. The kitchens weee also helpful for cooking meals. Communication with host was excellent. Any minor inconvenience was taken care of or addressed in a timely manner. Only issues we ran into were small inconveniences with cleanliness but was no issue to take care of. We would stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay! We traveled with our two littles, and great news, the master closet and bathroom can each fit a pack n play! Woohoo! So if you are needing a darker space for your little one to sleep for naps , the closets are bigger than they look in the photos :) The host was very responsive , we had a question about the AC and she sent someone over asap, really appreciated how quick it was addressed. The location is perfect and walking distance to the beach, she has all the beach toys, chairs , umbrellas etc that you could want to borrow ready to be used in the garage! Also had a wagon that was really handy for taking strolls with our little guy in . The pantry and kitchen was well stocked, all the cookware and serving dishes you could need plus lots of spices too. Really enjoyed our stay !

The property was spacious for all 8 of us. We’re a clean/neat family and some of the things we saw was disgusting. The floors still needed sweeping. The plates in the cabinets and microwave was dirty. There were objects left in drawers in the bedroom. Dirty tissue left on one of the beds. The air vents, bathroom fan vents and ceiling fans were very dusty. There were little black ants everywhere. We had to go buy spray. Guests should not leave condiments and other items behind if used, that’s gross. There were only 1 face towel per bathroom. We went and bought more. The white towels need to be thrown away and not rewashed constantly. There are items that need to be thrown away and not re-used. This property needs a deep cleaning. I was so happy to leave this morning.

Kingfish

Kingfish

Over all we enjoyed our stay at Kingfish, both master bedroom showers are really small for a grown adult, (if you drop the soap you have to turn the shower off and get out to pick it up.😎 The property was clean and really close the the beach everyone in our group did not want to go home. The only other problem was the next door neighbor, he is racist jerk. My son in law is a wonderful black guy that would give you shirt the off his back and an Army veteran, the neighbor made a remark that didn’t set good with my wife a I about painting Black Lives Matter on the back of his truck then saw us looking at him as we setting on the deck. So my suggestion would be to be careful if you are planing on renting this property if you are black. One more thing that bothered us about the neighbor next door, people are non stop coming by his house all day long and into the evening picking up a canvas bag in then leaving, we thought it was a little suspicious. Just make sure all of you stuff is secure we just thought it was a little strange.

My friends and I stayed here for our spring break and it was great! The host was on top of everything! We had a small maintenance issue that needed to be fixed, it she had people come out to fix it within 24hrs. She also was very understanding with the check in and out process. Great location, great host, and great vacation spot! Would definitely recommend!

Great Beach House

Great Beach House

Our family of 8 loved staying at this cute beach house. There was plenty of space for everyone & it was super close to the beach. It was so nice for the owners to let us borrow the chairs, wagon, and sand toys to get the most out of our beach adventures. Nighttime was fun making smores around the firepit while hubby played his guitar. Place was within walking distance to plenty of shops and restaurants. Highly recommend!

We could not have asked for a more comfortable stay. The cottage is so cute and cozy and well-decorated to make you feel at home. Very clean and in great shape, has clearly been renovated recently. The hosts clearly thought of everything and provided tons of personal little touches, like board games and toiletries and beach toys. The kitchen is fully stocked so we could cook, and there are two big-screen TVs. There is also tons of space to relax, and we really enjoyed sitting on the porch in the mornings. The beach is super close, as are a bunch of shopping and grocery stories. Kristin is really helpful and answered all the questions we had. We will definitely stay here again! We have decided to make this our yearly vacation week!!
