Very nice property overall. However, steps/gates to the beach are from prior to the 2017 renovation and desperately require proper renovation. Elevator requires some maintenance. Must have proper lighting street side of structure....

Twenty of us celebrated a birthday milestone at this terrific beach house! Plenty of room, and bathrooms, and the management company was quick to respond to requests! We’ll be going again!!

The home is well laid out for a large groups. Huge table for meals. Well stocked kitchen. Good insulation for noise control between rooms. Air conditioning was great and insta- hot water heater assured that there is hot water for all guests. The beach was beautiful and chair umbrella set up on the beach was so convenient!

There were several incidents where there were roaches in this house.The blinds were damaged throughout the house. The maintenance man told us that after we leave they would be replacing the blinds. The pool was dirty...too dirty to swim in.BAD CHOICE OF PROERTY FOR MY GUESTS.

We had a family reunion trip of 28 people stay in Not The Norm. The numerous king suites fit all of the couples and we were able to manage the bed situation for the younger crowd. There is nothing better than being steps to the beach, waking up to the ocean view, and eating all your meals with a beachfront view. Some people were on the beach 24/7, while others hung by the pool with some of the toddlers, but we never felt separated due to the proximity of the house. We did run into some maintenance issues (broken bed, broken fridge doors, etc.) when we first arrived, but they were quickly answered and/or resolved by management team. There is limited lighting on the patio as another reviewer mentioned, but that is the norm for all beach front houses for sea turtle protection...perhaps they could invest in some sea-turtle friendly lighting as it is tricky navigating the patio steps by the pool in the dark (especially for older folk). The fully stocked kitchen suited our big group for numerous home cooked meals. I think it could use a few more serving dishes/platters, frying pans/skillets, and baking sheets. Overall, it was one of the best beach vacations our family has had!!

Would’ve been 5 stars but this property does not have any outside lighting. It was impossible to enjoy dinner by the pool or an evening pool party bc it was so dark. The front and back of the house seriously needs improved lighting outside. Also, it would be nice to have an outdoor shower to rinse off after a day at the beach. Besides lacking outdoor lighting and an outdoor shower, this house was FABULOUS!!! Very accommodating for a large group. We had 9 couples and everyone had their own bathroom and nice rooms to themselves. Very spacious and right on the beach! We will definitely be back!

I highly recommend "Not the Norm" for family reunions or any other large group get together. We had 22 people ranging in age from 2 - 85. With no steps at the entrance to the house and an elevator allowed easy access to all levels of the house for all family members. Plenty of bedrooms made it easy for those who needed to get away for some privacy whether work related or personal. There is wifi available, but we found it was only accessible from the main part of the house, those in the additional wing were not able to connect to it. Adults and kids enjoyed the pool. We were thankful for being located on the beach and not having to worry about driving or crossing the road with taking the kids to and from the beach; also all were able to watch beach activities even if they did not want to or were unable to go down to the water. Most of us did not want to leave and would love to come back here. We had a couple minor problems that were addressed immediately and everyone working for Five Star that I dealt with were very friendly and helpful.
