Great house. Needs some minor cosmetic repairs but great overall.

Let this be a warning that the property photos don’t represent the current condition of the home, which is exceptionally tired. Features & furnishings are broken, missing, torn, and/or dirty. On the upside, the location is fantastic, and for those traveling with a large group, the home was big enough, so it never seemed crowded. The pool was definitely a bonus. The following is a list of some of what we experienced. 1. The next-door neighbor is awful. On Saturday at 12:30 PM my guests, and I were enjoying the swimming pool. The neighbor continuously yelled profanity and kept screaming that this was “a neighborhood, not a party.” 2. Ants are a huge problem, and I don’t mean just a couple ants. Thousands of ants were in the sink, counters, and around the refrigerator. I even had ants crawling on me while sitting on the family room couch. 3. Upon arrival, none of the four TVs worked. Maintenance came and was able to get two of them working. BTW, the maintenance workers are fantastic! Huge shout out to David & Jason who quickly responded to all the repairs needed during our stay. 4. Nearly every piece of furniture was dirty, torn, or broken, and I’m not even exaggerating. 5. The carpet is stained beyond repair. 6. Some pots, pans and cooking utensils were missing. 7. There’s more, but I think you get it …

Several balcony door locks broken or missing, Ice maker broken, one role of low quality TP per bathroom, No extra trash bags, floors were dirty, second hand repurposed furniture with rips and tears, no first aid kit, 14 page contract to fill out and send back, rigid rules with severe penalties ($300 for missing garage door opener) for check-in and check out. Really doesn't sleep as many as the website claims comfortably. We were going for a memorial service and I stated as much in the initial VRBO correspondence....but kept getting "Enjoy your Vacation!" emails. Email from property manager stated we need parking passes then I was told we didn't need parking passes at the office? I wanted a place where the family could gather and mourn without having to worry about insignificant things....however the tone set by the property manager's automatic emails and materials made everyone feel unwelcome and uneasy. In the beginning of the process, I chatted with a VRBO tech about the ridiculous contract and she was no help.

Great property for a large group! Close to restaurants, bars and golf! Short walk to the beach!

We rented this house for mostly family and a few close friends of our wedding party. Very spacious with a lot of places for people to hang out. Walking distance to the beach, views of the beach and bay from balconies, 3 min drive off the island. We didn’t use the pool but would be a great touch for a summer stay. Highly recommended for large groups!

We loved the amount of space and amenities, truly gorgeous home. Loved our stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Love the size and location on Sparkie's Place, we have now gone here two years in a row. The unfortunate thing is the owner is not keeping up with maintenance and capital items, particularly for the price paid.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We visited the home last spring and found it to be perfect for our Labor Day wkend which now included our son's marriage. Big enough for our immediate family and across from the beach w/ a POOL! We had special requirements for the home: elevator for our wheelchair bound nephew and senior parents. We knew it was broken but was assured it would be repaired before our vacation. Booking was quick and easy and they had our money in full by July 4th. We kept inquiring about the elevator w/ no reply until 1 week before our vacation when we were informed that the elevator would NOT be operational and that we had til the EOB to cancel the rental for a refund. Needless to say this was unacceptable and I called immediately to see what the agency/owner's would be able to do for our call back, no information, no alternative housing, no assistance in finding handicap facilities for our nephew/parents, etc...We had no choice but to continue w/ the rental and we were astounded with how worn, dirty, and unkempt the house was on our arrival. We couldn't walk on the carpets inside or out without shoes on, making a 2 yr olds vacation a battle. Unpacking there was no empty cabinets for the food we need for our group. Organization of the kitchen was haphazard at best making cooking time a chore. Morning 1 we had no hot water in half of the house...Apparently the solar powered water and Gas hot water heaters aren't talking to one another. To be fair, they sent a very helpful and pleasant repair man who confirmed my Dx and repaired the situation. There was no broom, vacuum, or blower to tidy up the deck so that became another chore. Dinner Day 1 was a Boil which we normally cook outside but the grill was cheap, rusted, dirty and best of all, barely operable (took 1 hr to cook a burger). No back up Propane tank in case you run out (it felt nearly empty but since we couldn't cook, we didn't use any more. The garage was a disaster w a good portion of it filled w/
