Plus: Good location. Convenient to bridge but some distance away from public beach access. Lots of open space on main floor. Lots of seating for group meals. Lots of brand new decks! Minus: 3 bedrooms on ground floor are great for kids BUT there are no internal stairs to access them. (Not clear in property description). Kitchen supplies were lacking. Could have used a couple of large frying pans along with some baking pans. Not a single 9x13 pan to be had. Didn't have a single t-spoon for the kids; just soup spoons. AC had a difficult time keeping up with the daytime temps. Overall: We've been vacationing at HB for over 35 years. This property was pretty good but could stand for some relatively easy updates.

The actual space and beach access are nice. The interior of the house is in need of an update. Peeling wallpaper, shower issues, loose door knobs, and an older HVAC that can’t keep up. The main floor of the house stayed at 75 at its coolest, and went up to 84 by the evening. We called the office and an HVAC guy came out, looked at it, worked on it , but didn’t an update to anyone before leaving. Keeping bedroom doors closed made sleeping comfortable, bring your own towels, beach chairs, dish soap etc…. Only sheets are provided.

Property had some cleanliness and safety issues (unsafe deck). Rental management staff was terrific responding. Hope what we paid for maid service was used for the next renters.

The price is right for a 7 bedroom house on the beach but the house was NOT ready for rental. It was not clean (sandy floors, dirty bathrooms, crumbs in kitchen, bad and dangerous decking, mildewy basement. Other problems, all of which can be fixed if desired and the rent could actually be upped.
