when i found this place on vrbo and i was considering it, i checked the reviews. they had been great for 10 years but last year there were bad reviews about a/c issues, dirtyness, bats in the attic... i messaged the owner to inquire about the issues and he told me they had been remedied. so i took a gamble and booked this place for my family because i was having a hard time finding an affordable place for us for the week we needed in this area. the week after july 4th. it was mostly good. no evidence of bats or any other kind of rodents or bugs at all. this is a nice home in a nice neighborhood. and it's very conveniently located to the public beach which is very nice, less than a mile away. nice parking at the beach and it is $2 per hour which is easy to pay at the electric kiosk. also close to walmart, etc. and close to the highways. the community has a nice pool with restrooms. it's open 10 am to 10 pm. we loved that it stayed open late. there was a little bit of garbage in the garbage cans in the garage and the garage needed to be swept out but this was a minor issue. we loved having the 2 car garage and there is room for 2 more cars in the driveway but there is also a couple extra community parking spots a short way down the street and a couple more behind the house. the a/c is excellent downstairs. it was nice and cool when we got there but upstairs was hot. the thermostats are separate so we turned down the temp up there. it took a while to cool down but it was much better by bedtime and it was fine for the rest of our stay. i think it's kinda hot in the daytime but we werent home. it's fine during the evenings and mornings. everything was very dusty. all surfaces of dressers, nightstands, bathroom counters, window sills, window blinds, ceiling fan blades... i dusted everything and dry mopped the floors. lots of dust and hair. the bedsheets were clean but the quilts were not. lots of dust and hair on them. i let the owner know about these things after our stay and he thanked me for the feedback and said he will address these issues with his cleaning service. because he lives elsewhere so he doesn't see it for himself. but the kitchen was clean. the showers and toilets were clean. all the appliances work great. all the plumbing works great. TVs work great. Renter is required to bring their bags of garbage to a dumpster which is about a half mile away. The door is locked/ unlocked with a keypad code. i suggested adding a deadbolt.

The house is beautiful, clean, and roomy, with a dining-living room area big enough for everyone to hang out in. The pool is great and it’s only about a mile to the beach.

Great location, only a few blocks from the ocean. Visiting the beach, we recommend parking in lots 7N - 12N as these as between the crowds of people staying at the larger hotels. There is limited parking which mean limited people stay in these sections, so families are not on top of each other. House was great, plenty of space and has everything you need. Nice and clean and Ron was quick to answer any questions we had. Highly recommend for families. One thing to note is that to get to the family room/kitchen/dining room, you have to go up many stairs. We had one family member end up staying downstairs most of the time due to this.

This property was great!!! Excellent proximity to everything!! The water was hot, all the appliances worked, the kitchen and bathroom were stocked.. It was definitely a home away from home!! Even the neighbors of the property were lovely! Will definitely stay again!!

overall we had a very good stay great location,property could have been cleaner

This was a nice place to stay. There was 12 of us, 5 adults, 7 children and we all slept comfortably. Roughly a 10 minute walk to the beach. Short walk to the pool. Nice patio. Nicely decorated. Walmart is right around the corner which was nice. We did have an issue with the refrigerator which was a little frustrating at the time but things happen. The owner was quick to respond & send a technician over as soon as possible. We all enjoyed our stay

We arrived after a 12 hour drive to relax and settle in for the next 5 nights. Well, we walked into a nightmare. The cottage was never cleaned from previous tenant. Nor air out or sanitized. Took 4 adults 3 hours to clean and sanitize. Contacted the owner and he notified us that there is also bats in the attic amd dueling our stay, a critter guy was coming to get rid of them. This was horrific. After po ur stay, my Mother was unpacking her bags and found a dead bat in her bag. I can not imagine what would have happened if the bat would have gotten out in her car. We were told we get money back for cleaning and have yet to receive. We will never use this site again nor stay here.

The home itself is gorgeous. Upon arrival, it was noticeably smelly in the garage. The previous renters left garbage behind. Once inside the home, the basement is beautiful and cool. Upstairs was another story, you could immediately tell a temperature difference. The upstairs was extremely warm. It was also evident that it wasn’t cleaned well. There were crumbs and fuzzies all over the living room furniture, dust all over the floors, ac vent was black, etc. These are a few of the issues that disturbed our stay. We communicated with the owner, and he was quick to respond. His solutions weren’t reasonable. He wanted to call the housekeeper to come back in, however, we’d already started cleaning and obviously wouldn’t feel comfortable having someone come in. We just wanted to start our vacation! As far as the a/c, we were told the upstairs doesn’t keep up with the higher temps. Most evenings were miserable with temps never reaching below 75. If these issues were addreesed, this would be a dream stay!

This home is in a great area. Great access to everything. You have a great choice of option here. The things that's needed attention, the owner was gracious an responded very quickly . We would love this spot to be our go to spot yearly....my grandkids thought this was the best house ever! We had a wonderful time.

The house was very nice! It was enough space for everyone. Close to walk to stores and the pool is close enough to the house. I had questions for Ron and he answered right away. I would give this house a 10-10

We have stayed here many times and each time we have had a great experience all the way around .....we will definitely be back

Ron was available for any questions or issues. Thank you for letting us enjoy your beautiful home.

Check-in was easy. The home is very beautiful with lots of space. The attention to tenet needs was very refreshing. This property is located very close to beaches, shopping, and entertainment. The air condition on the top floor was a little slow to pick up.
