First, the good. The physical property rental was as shown in the listing. Location was good, about 300 yd walk to the water. Dinnerware was adequate. Really liked the open concept of the living area, and the layout of bedrooms on the lower level. Appliances were good, newer, and functioned properly. Linens were clean and supplied by the property owner, which was a nice offering. The views from the upper levels were fantastic, especially the sun setting over the bay. Wow. Now the bad......(suggested upgrades) A few simple updates would have really done this property justice. Bigger TV's. The bedroom TV's are tiny, not really usable. The Living room TV needs upgraded as this is a large space. Usable, but could be a suggestion for future updating. The bed mattresses were terrible, especially the master. There's only outdoor furniture on the upper deck, with no outdoor furniture on the lower covered deck, essentially making this unusable space. Lastly, the really bad..... I inquired on beach equipment provided for our trip 4 days prior to departure. Upon arriving, there was zero equipment, which left us in quite a predicament. I questioned a 2nd time on day one of arrival, and finally received an answer from the property mgr on day two, stating that no beach equipment is provided, and that they will update the listing to reflect this. So we had no beach chairs, shade, canopy, etc. I initially asked prior to departure because we would have brought ours. I expected, at a minimum, to have a few chairs to sit on. But I was wrong. Total bummer. Overall, the property was nice, and we had a great time. A few updates put this property over the top. And lastly, better response time from the property manager is a must. Had we known to bring our own gear, we would have.

5 stars for both location and the overall layout of the house. Huge/open top floor with views of both the bay and ocean. Spacious bedrooms and massive car port area. 3 stars for upgrades and basic maintenance. Furniture is dated (which is reflected in the pictures). However, a gaping hole in the wall above the stove, a ripped window screen, cracked coffee maker, a porch door that won't open, squeaky windows, broken lattice and broken A/C unit platforms all seem like easy repair jobs that are incomplete.

House was great.

Nice location with great view and easy access to the beach

The house was lovely. It completely accommodated friends and family- a home away from home. The furniture is a bit dated and worn, but comfortable. My family enjoyed every day that we had. We were able to walk to the beach. Restaurants and shops were very close. The kitchen had all of the dishes and utensils needed for cooking, as well as microwave, blender and toaster oven. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it.

Overall the house was not that bad and appears for the most part as the pictures would have you believe. However, it has some maintenance issues that appear to have been around for a while just have not been repaired. One of the shower heads was corroded and clearly had been that way for a while. There was a section of the eave under the roof that was missing that had several large birds living in it creating an irritation on the inside as you could hear them. Having the outdoor shower would have been great for returning from the beach however it did not work. Upon our arrival one of the two showers would not even drain. We reported it to the realty company and the drain issue was resolved on the second day of our stay. Like I said over all we enjoyed our stay and it was enough to get us through. I would have expected a more well maintained property though.
