While the house is not brand new, it is clean and in generally good condition. The neighborhood is quiet and nice for walks and there is ready access to the somewhat private beach. The heated pool is a nice feature with shade and sun areas available. The shower could use safety bars that were missing. Hopefully in the works as they had existed previously per the pictures in VRBO. We drove to most restaurants including the pier area which is fairly bustling and there are plenty within 1 mile or so of the house. Kitchen is really nice if eating in more. All in all, we had a great week. Passes my main test by feeling sad to leave at the end of our stay!

We did not actually stay in the property we rented six months ago. Two days before we were supposed to arrive we got a call from Jack at real estate gizmo (property managers for the place we had rented ) that the property we rented through vrbo had maintenance issues so we couldn’t stay there. He told us he was putting us up in another property which was an upgrade. Although the property was nice, it was not what we rented and paid for. And when we got to our other place, we drove by the place that we initially rented and he had rented it to someone else. I think real estate gizmos is running a bait and switch operation through Vrbo. He lied to us and he should not be trusted. If you look up reviews on real estate gizmo, you will find that they have done this to many other people.

We booked this property 9 months ahead of time. Two days before our reservation, we received a call from “Jack” that there was a problem with the house and we were being switched to another house - Seaward Shores. (We did notice a van with out of state plates parked at the house we had booked the whole time we were staying at the new house, so hard to know if there was really a problem.)The new house appeared to be a little more modern inside but had a weird layout where the main access to the backyard and swimming pool were through the master bedroom. There is another access point, but that involves going out the kitchen into the garage and walking halfway around the property. Thiscompany clearly considers all their rentals interchangeable - so if you book with them, it helps if you are not really attached to any particular home. In general, all the homes appear to have a pool (heated to 87) outdoor furniture, outdoor lighting, and access to the private beach (which is very nice, was about .25 miles from the house we had, and had a parking lot that only gets crowded on weekends.) So if you really like the beach this is a good place. The neighborhood feels safe, although there is not much else in walking distance besides the beach. The kitchen was pretty well stocked and the living room had a large sectional that was great for hanging out and watching tv. The house was roomy. The cons of this place are: most of the mattresses are pretty soft, Jack is not very helpful once you agree to switch to the new house. He often doesn’t respond. Monica, however, (whose number is the last phone number listed on the front of the information book) is very nice and helpful. The cleaning people showed up to clean the house 45 minutes before check out, and just waited on the porch that whole time while we were loading our car - not exactly an ideal way to check out. Finally, the guest two rooms share a wall of glass block windows so it can be problematic if people like to go to bed at different times. Overall we enjoyed our stay, the pool was great and the weather was warm.

Awesome place, 2min walk from the beach! Friendly neighborhood, perfect family getaway.

We stayed here over spring break with our kids and my parents. Pool in the backyard was great. Short walk to the beach. Private beach club access was very convenient. And the Pompano downtown/pier was less than a mile away. Management was very communicative and helpful. Will definitely stay here again.
